AT THE Movies 7 KILL BILL TO CAPITOL THEATRE Barbara La Marr upholds her re- putation as “the best dressed vam- pire of the screen” in her newest picture role, that of Lindy Putnam in the Metro-SL production of “Quin- cy Adams Sawyer” which is now a the Capitol Theatre. One usually ociates the statue- sque beauty of Miss La Marg with the dignified parts she has enacted in her previous successes, including the Rex Ingram productions “The Prisoner of Zenda” and “Trifling Women.” In these the vivacious Bar- bara is a stately, elaborately-gowned siren. However, in “Quincy Adams Saw- er,” she appears as a small town rl with city ideas, bent upon start- ling her home folks with the advance ideas culled from her methopolitan associates.

FIGHT ON FORD OFFER RENEWED, oF La Marr are certain to please the; Washington, Feb. 19.—The fight eyes of feminine picture goers. Many changes of costume are called for, and they range from lovely chiffons to smart sports clothes. One particularly charming gown is fashioned 0 fa soft chiffon, of rose shade, elaborately frimmed with &ry- beads, forming a costume es- pecially becoming to the brunette type of Miss La Marr. Other after- noon’ gowns in pastel shades are worn during the various episodes of the picture, “Quincy Adams Sawyer” is pre- sented on the screen with the most notable collection of screen players ever assembled. Among them are Blanche Sweet, John Bowers, Lon Chaney, Louise Fazenda, Elmo Lin- coln, Edward Connelly, Gale Henry, Joseph Dowling, Victor Potel, June Elvidge, Claire McDowell, Minnie Davenport and Harry Davenport. Clarence G, Badger directed the production which was prepared for the screen by Bernard McConville. THE ELTINGE. The attraction at the Eltinge the- ater for today and tomorrow, Mon- day and Tuesday, is Guy Bates Post in the screen production of his stage success, “Omar vhe Tentmaker,” based on the story of Omar Khay- yam, Mr. Post has already been seen here ‘in “The Masquerader.” “Omar the Tentmaker” has been produced with the splendor which its Oriental setting demands. Throughout the story of the fil% ~ yuns a truly beautiful tale of the love between Omar and Shircen, whom he Poses through the uxoriéus desites of the Shah of Shahs, only to’ be reunited after many years, finding happiness together after countless vicissitudes and hardships. A secondary love theme almost aa} beautiful as this passage binds to- gether the hearts of young Shireen): and The Christian (Crusader, who had been captured by the Zoroastrian fanatics. Adventure and romance abound in this film. Naturally, also, it is filled with the color of Persia at the time of its greatest glory; and, in fact, some of the scenes rival in immen- sity and scope anything the screen has ever given us. Post's, portrayal of Omar as a youth and as a middle-aged man are veritable gems of characterizations, and hia leading woman, Virginia] TONSILITI cover for action by the house this session on Henry Ford’s offer for Mus Shoals was renewed today before rules committee with Chairman Campbell reiterating his opposition on the ground that Mr. Ford had stated that«he wquld not accept proposition contained in\the bill rée- ported by military committee.
