The French army captain

seph SchiIdkraut in "The Life
Of Emile ZOla," was the central
figure of one Of the most In
famous miscarriageS Of justice
the world has ever known. I'm
justly accused Of selling secret
army information to an enemy
power, he was convicted on
flimsy evidence and sent to
Devils Island. He suffered inn
prisOnment there for several
years before the heroic efforts
of Emile lola brought about q

ultimate reinstatement. The A.

"A Texas Steer
At Roadside

"A Texas Steer" as mad .
bit of buffoonery as you are
likely to see in a month Of Sun
days, is the current offering Of
the Roadsiders and a very good
selection it is, too, being a hit
from the word go.
The time of this play by
Charles Hoyt is presumably the
late 'nineties but it is ase mod
ern, for all that, as a stream
lined train. The nations law
makers take a merciless rib
bling, all in good fun. I don't
believe there is a line of venom
in the play, going to prove Mr..
Hoyt undoubtedly took his poll
tics with more than a grain Of
salt.
The play centers about a
Texas Representative elected to
Congress by any but legal
means. Thus, bearing a more
or less fraudulent mandate
from his constituency, he comes
to Washington.
The fun is provided by the
trials and fluctuations of this
law maker, beset by patronage
seekers, lobbyists and imprac-
tical dreamerS. In addition,
the struggles of his family to
accustom themselves to q mode
of life unfamiliar to them
furnish further amusement.
The banquet scenes fun
approaches hysteria.

comedian, takes the role Of
Brander, the representative,
and plays it to the queens
taste. Lansing Hall, Anne Ives,

Future
Films Shown

If all OF Warner Bros. pictures
for the new 1898 season are
as good as the two which were
screened at the Ambassador
Theater yesterday, then Warner
Bros. have nothing to worry
about. Possibly no two produc-
lions from the same studio could
have been more Of a contrast
than "That Certain Woman"
and varsity Show" but both
won enthusiastic approval from
the educational leaders, motion
picture exhibitors and news.

at the first session Of Warmers

for the months just ahead.
BETTE DAVIS STAR
Bette Davis is the star Of
"That Certain Woman" which
Edmund Goulding wrote and
directed, and the resulting pro.
duction is one certain to have q
wide appeal. Women especially
will like this dramatic story OF
a young woman who seemed to
bring bad luck to men, but who
finally won the happiness she
had more than paid for. Henry
Fonda shares the top billing
with Miss Davis, while an excel
lent cast also includes Ian
Hunter, Anita Louise, Donald
Crisp, Hugh O'Connell and
Minor Watson.
Never has Bette Davis been
seen to better advantage than as

artfully combined in this big

excellent a advantage on the

ritory.
REALISTIC FIRE
Naturally, we exploited all our
big pictures, and when we OBJ
tanned the rights to 1.-The Still
Alarm" a special exploitation
man was assigned to bally the
film in Baltimore. One Of our
exhibitors, who owned a colored
theater at that time, was playing
the picture one afternoon and the
house was packed. The exploita-
ton man had tied-up with the
local fire department, unknown to
Mr.. Exhibitor, who was thor
oughly elated with the crowd that
damned his theater, as well as
the sidewalk in front of it.
1t wasn't until Reel 3 that the
picture really got going, with the
fire engines responding to an
alarm. Just then, a fire engine
which the press agent had pro-
NOTED from the local fire depart
partment pulled up in front of the
theater. The excitable exhibitor,
who was holding back the crowd,
dashed out front and saw the
engine stop there. He became
greatly alarmed and ran back in
side. At that psychological mo-
ment, the picture on the screen
switched to a fire scene, and so
realistic were the Gin m a tic
flames, the near-sighted exhibitor
grabbed a bucket of water, ran
down the aisle and threw the
water on the screen. This is an
actual fact, believe it or not.
And thus endeth my contribu-
ton, Andy.

the world. It has helped us to an
understanding Of our every day
problems. Its humor has helped
us to laugh our cares away. Its
newsreels have brought us actual
portrayalS of world events that
previously we could only read
about. History is made right be-
fore our very eyes.
NEIGHBORHOOD HOUSES
And now a word or two about
the neighborhood movie houses.
Operating several suburban houses,
the neighborhood theater is my
hobby, to say nothing of being my
bread and butter. While the small
theater around the corner from
you may lack the massive size and
adornment of its big downtown sis
tiers, it certainly makes up for this
in its honey atmosphere, its
friendly spirit and personal serv-
ice.
Its owners and managers are
leaders in their community'S civic
life. They are continually striving
to make their theaterS amusement
centerS for the entire family. They
come in closer contact with their
patrons, their neighbors, and are
ever on the alert to provide whole
some entertainment programs that
will please both old and young.
In the Washington territory.
particularly, the neighborhood the
ater owner is presenting his pa
irons with the finest motion pic
lures soon after their downtown
first runs. Most of them have
contracted with all the major pro-
ducing companies to bring you the
seasons outstanding films within
walking distance Of your homes.
WHOLESOME FILMS
The family trade being the very
backbone Of our existence, it has
been very gratifying to note the
wholesome type Of entertainment
that has been coming out Of Holly,
wood the past few years. sin
cerely believe the past season saw
family pictures reach a new peak.
and advance announcements for
the coming year predict an even
higher level.
An angle of motion picture exhi-
bition that is gaining momentum
each year, and one in which am
particularly interested, is the show.
ing of suitable films to shutins in
Washington and nearby inStitu
tons. Motion pictures have proven
a panacea to thousands who have
too much time on their hands
through being confined to hos
pitfalls, Sanitariums, homes for the
aged, orphanages and penal insti
buttons.
