"The World and the FIesh,"
Drama, at Metropolitan.
THE old saying, Blood will tell"
l. is vividly demonstrated IN two
different ways in the picture, the
World and the Flesh" which Is being
shown this week at warmers Metro
politan Theater. An aristocrat OF
the Russian nobility goes to his
death in true aristocratic fashion
and a girl, come up from the people,
revertS to her own kind to find true
happiness eventually awaiting her.
A lusty, vigorous film, full Of thrills
and plenty of deaths, presents a story
which takes place in Russia, where
several mobiles are making their way
in a box car to Sebastopol. They
arrive, instead, at Theodosia, and it
is there that the hot-blooded sea
captain, Kylenka, and his sailors
take possession of the refugees and
their jewels, and only the timely ar
rival of troops by boat from Sebas-
topol saves their lives, and, Incl
dentally, Maria, the beautiful dancer,
from the arms of Kylenka. All set
sail for SebaStopol-the sailors as
captives. A signal is seen by one
of the sailors that the revolutionists
have taken TheodoSia and he gets
word to Kylenka. A plot is conjured
by the crew and KyIenka kills the
engineer. Orders are given by him
to turn the boat back to Theodosla.
Knowing full we'll what will now
befall them if this is accomplished,
a plea is made to Maria by the
nobleS to save them from the bully
Kylenka. She refuses at first to do
as they ask. but the sight of a little
helpless baby, who will meet the
same fate as its elders, changes hen
mind and she goes to her room. 1t
is there that she tricks Kylenka by
lying to him, and he stays with her,
thus leaving the pilots free rein to
turn the boat back to Sebastopol.
The early astronomical training Of
a member of Kylenka's crew-a loyal
peaSant-who is left on watch in the
pilots room, makes it possible for
him to foil the plan, and in the
morning the boat lands at Theo-
doSia. It is then that Maria tells
Kylenka that she lied to him and
he, in turn, tells her that he can
also lie-but with his lips. How
ever, love has captured the big brute
and has done a lot of things to his
calloused old heart. Maria finally
succumbs to his dominance and
actually falls in love with him-just
as his crew has fallen under his
domineering spell. What happens
after that is really quite the ordi-
nary martyrdom expected of lovers
on the screen.
George Bancroft in the part of
Kylenka is no handsome Adonis. but
he handles the part in masterful
fashion. Miriam Hopkins as Maria,
the dancer, is most versatile, both
as to the courage of the aristocrat.
then as a member of the revolu-
tionistS. Good work is done by Alan
Mowbray, George E. Stone. Mitchell
Lewis, Oscar APPEL and Reginald
Barlow.
The short-reel subjects offered by
the Metropolitan are excellent.

Buck Jones at Columbia
In "McKenna of the Mounted"

EPUTAT1ON for winning every
contest in which law and order
furnish the goal is the heritage of
the active members of the North
west Canadian Mounted. They are
the worlds chosen fighters, the su-
preme masters of the problem of
the almost impossible, the ex-
emplars of the theory that the
individual. II necessary, is sacrificed
to the common welfare. They have
succeeded the famous scouts of the
American frontier, whose names have
been made a part of history. The
sweep OF their phalanXes of horse
men is as relentless as that of Mo-
hammedan fanatics, with the added
quality that they are fighting to
defend, rather than to impose, their
will upon the world
Imagination becomes a riot when
the Canadian Mounted is abroad,
and it is not surprising that the
younger citizens of Washington
turned out in full force at the Co
lumbia Theater when the weeks
engagement of Buck Jones in NC
Kenna of the Mounted" began yes
terday. The star rides a horse of
speed and SureneSS of foot, and is
aided by other mounted men on
some very we'll selected specimens.
The location chosen furnishes some
wild terrain with plenty Of rough
roads in the forest land, and a cliff
over which men may fall as they
battle for decision in the eternal
struggle between right and wrong.
The play presented has no dull
spots, and is worthy of the earnest
attention given by youthful audi
ence, while the older persons who
like Western drama are likely to
add their applause.
"McKenna of the Mounted" pre-
sents a new phase Of the life OF the
more open provinces, for a sergeant
of the organization accepts disgrace
in order that he may engage in the
subtle task Of finding the leader OF
a gang of outlaws. In the course OF
his experience he is brought into
contact with both of the bell1gerent
forces, and it may be said that
there is more than the usual sus-
pense as to the probable outcome OF
the story. Greta Granstedt, as the
admiring associate of the hero, a
Young woman who never loses latin
in his honesty, lends a touch OF de-
votion to the story in responding 10
the easy requirements OF her role,
while others who share IN the INCL

BRIDGE SYSTEMS

tific rehnements of contract bridge
systems" finally become so complex
that only experts can grasp them,
turning the great mass of players to-
ward an easier game?
Will a rebellion of younger players
against the study and concentration re-
quired to play good game Of contract
ultimately spell its doom?
Such was the fate of whist, recalls
c. D. P. Hamilton, whose books on
this scientific card game of the gay
COS were accepted as the final authority
throughout the world.
Hamilton, vice president of a large
st. Louis shoe company and now 80
years old, has been a whist devotee for
81 years He saw the game developed,
helped develop it. until finally it be-
came a test OF skill from which the
element Of luck had been almost wholly
removed
Long Study Required.
Since there was no bidding and the
trump depended upon the last card
turned up as the hand was dealt. the
play in whist involved a multitude of
conventions and combinations. 1t was
necessary for every player to remember
every card played, and the circum-
stances, in order to know anything of
his partners or opponents holdings:
Il would say that in order to be-
come even a fair whist player" Ham
ilton estimated, lone would have to
play in top-notch company two or three
times a week for 10 years"
When the game became this diff
cult, mastery of it lost some of its
lure and it was gradually supplanted
by bridge Hamilton predicts that in
another 20 years there won't be whist
player left.
Auction Game to Pass.
For contract bridge, which he believes
will replace auction entirely within 10
near-term future.
1T is a scientific game, no mistake
about it," he says. However, 1T is
being improved all the time, so that
it will also in time be played correctly
only by the superior players"
OF these latter there can never be
more than a comparative few, Hamilton
holds.
Gard sense is a gift" he says, "com-
parable to musical talent or athletic
prowess. Only one with this sense can
ever hope to rise above the level Of
mediocre player"
Yet there is consolation for those
who lack it.
"Those who feel thev are dumb at
cards when others with much less in
telligence are crack players should re-
member card sense is purely an innate
knack, something which every one can
not have" he says.
Hamilton urges the average card
player to "go ahead. improve your game,
learn as much about it as you can
and let the experts do the worrying
about it. They will do it anyway, so
you might Just as well have your fun
out of it at their expense"

Appropriations for the bridge, which
is to replace two existing spans at the

The only traffic upstream Of the
bridge is that incidental to the public
construction activities Of the United
