Last night Hardie Meakin,
manager of RKO Keith's, stood on
the stage Of his theater and told
the capacity audience that Mrs.

of Washington one year ago, was
an honored guest at the first per-

occupied by the late President
Woodrow Wilson. She arose to
greet applause when Mr.. Meakin,
in stage speech that was actually
extemporaneous and seemed to be
more professional than a record
ing of Hamlet's soliloquy, men
toned the affinity between the
Apple Annie that May Robson
played in Lady for a Day" and
the extraordinary character that
May Robson plays in Lady by
Choice"
Clever Story
The current Keith's film has
one principal resemblance to that
former success of Miss Robson. 1t
is clever, engrossing entertain
ment.
The usual bet of a dollar to a
doorknob is hereby laid that Mrs.
Hart, the rest of last nights au-

will view the producing during
what will undoubtedly be long
stay in Washington, won't dis
cover any more enjoyable film for

You have guessed it. The
