Saturdays closed at 12 noon AMUSEMENTS “The Storm.” Two men and a woman, fast locked in & cabin for a handful of months in the frozen north woods, while a storm brews and finally bursts, furnish the dramatic possibilities of “The Storm,” a melodrama by Langdon McCormick, produced by George Broadhurst, which opened for the week at the National Theater last night. “The Storm” deals with the ele- mental passions—as most tales_in which “the eternal triangle” enters usually do. There is no doubt as to its being melodrama. But whoever heard of that being a deterrent to the success of a play? The McCormick play has a strong appeal to the human side. It is admirably staged and well acted. It comes to Washington after a successful—almost a_sensational— run of a year in New York. The wonders of electricity have been liberally drafted to produce the effects of a forest fire, as well as a blizzard, in scenic effects little short of mar- The curtain rises upon a lit- tle slice of the big woods, with a river winding away in the distance. It is early winter.” Nature is getting ready for a storm. The clouds pile up. A wind tears belated autumn leaves from the trees and hurls them to the ground. In this setting are Burr Winton, woodsman, and David Stewart, a prod- t of London soclety. They are ‘partners” and plan to spend the winter in their cabin. Enter Jacques Fachard and Manette, his daughter. Jacques, a Canadian trapper, has fallen afoul of the mounted police— there is a sergeant that desired his little girl. He has been shot and is dying. The blizzard comes. The men and Manette are forced to spend the winter together. Both become in- fatuated with the girl. That they get through the winter without one man’s murdering the other is due to the natural tact of this forest girl. In the end it is the forest fire that clears the atmosphere. Ben Taggart, as Burr Winton; Eric Maxon, as David Stewart, and Kath- arine Hayden, as Manette Fachard, form the triangle. They play their parts in the swift-moving drama ad- mirably. Burr is the stronger, David the brainier. The Englishman uses all his wiles to win the girl, while Burr is mora straightforward. There is not a little comedy to relieve the tenseness of the situations. “Peggy.” ‘While lacking many requisites of a musical comedy slated for long or continued success, “Peggy,” by Mack Hilliard, which opened a week’s en- gagement at the Shubert-Belasco Theater last night, provides plenty of enjoyment for an audience not composed of critics too highly trained in seeing through the weak spots. The play lacks “a real plot"—a term recently grown popular in connection with musical comedies—but the mu- sic is zood and the acting fair enough, and folks don’t usually go to musical comedies with any idea of having to expend mental energy in following the unraveling of a complicated plot. The setting of both acts is pleasing, and the women are costumed—ac- . Continuing This Gigantic Sale of heets, Pillowcases and Bedspreads Lowest Prices Quoted in Years!

She is told by the mean, bad villain who has financed the shop, that she faces disaster un- less she marries him. This gives op- portunity for the exercise of nimble wit by Peggy’s many friends to get her out of trouble. All of them fall, and she is saved at the last moment by the death, of course, of a planta- tion-owning uncle somewhere down south, who leaves her enough to marry and live happily ever after with the man of her choice. Virginia Eastman, who has a con- tagious personality. delights her audience as Julie Clark and Skeet Gallagher comes near being “the life of the party” as Larry Meadows, her beau, the boy whose happiness in life depends on whether some beloved horse “comes home_first.” James C. Morton as Jimmy Baxter, father of eight charming “war orphans,” comes near filling the vacancy caused in the cast by the lack of a comedian, and he does it well Russell Mack, as Hal Brumley: Virginia O'Brien, as Peggy: ‘Wayne Nunn, in the part of Andre Rambeau, the play’'s bad man, and Ed- ward See, as John Potter, the myste- rious stranger, are convincing in their several roles. Lou Dymond, who composed the mu- sic, conducted the orchestra last night, and probably was able to pre- sent the various compositions at their best. The book and lyrics are at- tributed to Fred Caryll; the play is staged by Neil Twomey and the dances are by Allan K. Foster. Government War Films. Pictures made by the Signal Corps of the Army during the war with Germany, but not shown at that time for military reasons, are the attrac- tlon this week at the Shubert-Gar- rick Theater especial attention being paid the exploits of the 77th Divi- sion, a National Army command, and the 424 and 27th divisions. ,organized from National Guard units. The 1st Division of the Regular Army, is shown parading in Washington.

Machine guns in the most advanced positions, {the men climbing out of the trenches for the attack, hand granade duels and some actual hand-to-hand fight- ing are seen. The work of the ar servcei, the artillery, the engineers and the Medi- cal Corps is shown in detail, as well as the many agencies that functioned behind the lines in support of the combatants. “Milestones.” Loving couples with obdurate par- ents will find the Rialto this week, ‘where “Milestones” is being shown, especially interesting, The theme ad- vances the theory that as people grow old they become selfish and forget the aspirations and joys of youth. Arnold Bennett and Edward Kloblock suc- cessfully presented “Milestones” on the stage. Its interesting story with appealing heart interest has not been impaired’ by the transfer to the screen. The story starts in 1860 with the quaint hoopskirt costumes of those days, and beautiful Knglish homes and country byways as effective set- tings. It runs through threo widely separated periods with their love stories and parental interference un- til 1910, when another love story, cou- pled with serious industrial disturb- ances, works its way to a happy con- clusion. The picture cast is strong, the best work being done by Alice Hollister, Mary Alden, Gertrude Robinson and Lewis Stone. The additional attractions embrace an excellent musical program, a sea- side comedy, Current Topics and Fox News pictures. “Dangerous Business.” That it is “Dangerous Business” for a single woman to pretend she is married is demonstrated in the photo- play. which is being shown at the Metropolitan Theater this week, with Constance Talmadge in the lcadiig role. Miss Talmadgoe is pictured as the girl who claims marriage to an ab- sent hero in order to avoid marriage to a fashionable nonentity, only to be taken at her word by the hero, who arrives unexpectedly from France. Considerable amusement is interjected into the play particularly when the young hero, who is endeavoring to carry out the role of the husband, in- sists upon the assertion of his con- jugal rights. The picture is amusing as well as daring. A comedy, “The Skipper's Treasure Garden”; news picture, the Literary Digest topics and a fine or- chestral program complete the bilL. Photoplay Features. “Some One in the House.” All the world loves love, but the whole universe likes mystery. And if you come within that category you might satiate your thirst for “gentle- man crook” problems by attending “Some One in the House,” by Larry Evans, George S. Kaufman and Wal- ter Percival, which is shown this week at Loew's Palace Theater.- Its story is hinged about Jimmy Burke, a suave, clean-cut criminal, who would never steal diamonds from those who could not afford them. His work was art. Cleverness, person- ality and a keen running plot com- bined to keep the audience offering 1ise mental solutions until the “hero- ain” decides to steal the heart of Molly Brent as well as her $100.000 diamond necklace, and meets with such success that Molly offers to give both to him, even after v that he is one of the light. gentry abhorred by the righteous. Edmund Lowe swings through the part of “The Dancer,” as the crook- hero is known to the police, with a smoothness that is refroshing, and Viola Vale's big brown eyes get in deadly work with young bachelors, both in the audience and in the cast, while she is enacting the role of Molly Brent. Deserving of mention, since they fur- nish a und of excellence, are Howard Crampton, Willlam J. Irving, Clara Lee, Lawrence Grant, Edward Connolly, Henry Miller, jr., Edward Jobson, 'Thomas McGuire and Jack Levering.
