Mr. Dillingham has always stood for excellence in his produec- tions; Fritz Kreisler's musical art surely will be questioned by no one familiar with the charm of his violin recitals, and it can be frankly stated, without fear of worth-while contra- diction, that no more beautiful bari- tone voice, trained with perfect art, has been heard years, if ever, Thomas. Such are some of the big things to commend the charming operetta, “Apple Blossoms,” which is being pre- sented at the National Theater this week. Its book and lyrics are by William Le Baron and it may be said that much of the dialogue makes for hearty laughter with bright sallies of wit and original colloquialisms. The music i8 not all by Fritz Kreisler. Many pretty and snappy melodies are furnished by Victor Jacobi, who has admirably supplemented Mr. Kreisler's delicate violin artistry, which is a in Washington in| than that of Mr. 39¢c R .

And then there are Wilda Bennett, 2 charming prima donna, with a sweet and delightful voice; Percival Knight, the English comedian, whose appear- ance is always the signal for laughter; Edgar Norton, a grotesque | and able fun assistant; the Astaires, Fred and Adele, dancing delights, to- gether with one of the most refined and attractive choral aggregations that have appeared in Washington this season. program is authority for the statement that the scenery is by Joseph Urban. Perhaps it is, but it evidently has been long in use, not enough, however, to make it un- sightly. There are some very delightful en- semble numbers; some exquisite songs, namely, “Who Can Tell?” “Star of Love,” a gem with a Spanish tempo, both beautifully sung by Miss Ben- nett, and several numbers in which ) Mr. Thomas won repeated calls, amounting almost to ovations, al- though among them all there is not one number that gives that splendid singer the opportunity which his voice and art demand, the duet with Miss Bennett, “You Are Free,” in the second act, and “I Am in Love” a solo, in the last act, being the near- est aepproach to what “Apple Blos-§ soms”’ needs most of all. And yet, with all its wonderful ar- ray of charm, the jazz dance of the Adaires in the last act was the only thing that called forth anything like the enthusiasm shown when Mr. Thomas sang, although “Star of Love' was by long odds the most beautiful bit of music that has been heard in revue, musical comedy or operetta since the days of “In Old Madrid.” “WAY DOWN EAST.” Interest seems to contine unabated in David Wark Grifith’s masterpiece of the films, “Way Down East,” which is being shown for the last time at Poli's Theater this week. The at- tendance records are all said to have been surpassed thus far. The picture has already been fully reviewed by The Star and many additional points concerning it have appeared from time to time. Photoplay Features. Charlie Chaplin's new photoplay, "The Kid,” attracted large crowds yesterday to Crandall's Metropolitan ‘Theater. The famous funmaker spent some time in producing the pic- ture, and he develops a bit of real acting in addition to his humorous worli In the six reels of a good, clean story. “The Kid,” which he wrote as well as produced, s the story of a young mother, deserted by the father of her child, who abandons the babe in an automobile. The machine is stolen and the child is left in an alley in the slums, re “Charlie” discovers it. His efforts to get rid of the babe are frustrated the ever- aring policeman, until he finally decides to keep his charge. Five years later Charlie and “The Kid,” now imper- sonated by Jackie Coogan, are seen in their home, where some of the best work of the picture is shown. The mother, who has won success on the and yearns for her child, searches for him, but not until after many escapades of the youngster amd Charlie have taken piace is her search finally rewarded. The development of the story i3 never lost.

News events ings and m the bill. “THE SILVER HORDE.” “The Silver Horde,” the new (inld-l wyn screen version of Rex Beach's story of the Alaskan salmon fisheries, is shown at the Garden Theater this weeck. The play is highly interesting and contains many thrills, as it de- picts deeds of indomitable courage and daring. Hewever, the outstand- ing feature is the exceptionally able manner in which it is acted. The cast is made up of several players of unusual ability and who at the same time are excellent types. Myrtle Stedman and Robert McKim stand out prominently. As Cherry Ma- lotte, the former gives a realistic and serious portrayal of a brave and hardy daughter of the great north- west. As Marsh, the sinster and vil- Jainous head of the salmon syndicate, McKim is most convincing. Although laid in Alaska, the story occasionally shifts to Wall street, New York, and to the financial dis- trict and river front of Seattle. It deals with the struggle for supremacy in the salmon industry—a struggle which is marked by romance, hard fighting, cunning and treachery. The salmon syndicate, which has the backing of Wall street, endeavors to grab what it wants from its inde- pendent competitors, or else wipe them out. “EDUCATION OF ELIZABETH.” Billie Burke, as a girl bubbling over with personality and pep. turns the lives of three aristocrats from a dull drab tragedy of existence to a life of lively enjoyment, in “The Education of Elizabeth,” which is shown at Literary Digest say- sical numbers complete /SUODEMLY RECALLS A Funmy SToRY A HiM YEARS AGO WHEN HE WAS AS \WICKED AS OTHER MEDITATiON T THIMKS CF A RECENT MURDER- 1IN ORDER To DWERT GIVES T UP anD? BUSTS RIGHT OUT; ., Sume st Kathlyn Williams, Theodore Roberts, Burton, Kosloff, Clarence Theodore Shannon Day and others. The story, by Jeanie MacPherson, lays bare a wife’s struggle between a sense of duty to a husband who is a scoundrel and her love for a man of honor. Agnes Ayres is pictured as Mary Maddock, the wife of a gambler, who gains entree into a fashionable home in a moment of social emergency. Here she meets a man who falls in love with her and dur- ing the night, following a sumptuous dinner, Mary's husband attempts to burglarize the house and is caught. The struggle between love and duty to her husband is solved in part for Mary by the man, who proves that her husband is not only a blackmaijler, but is willing to sell his own wife for money. Ultimately, the way to happiness for the tortured wife and the man she loves is opened when the husband is Killed in | a brawl with one of his low companions. A fine orchestral score accompanies the picture. “PASSION FRUIT.” “Passion Fruit” is shown at the Cri- terion Theater this week. It d marvelous dances by Doraldi star, and seems to deserve the praise that has been generously bestowed upon it. Doraldina not only dances ||l superably, but she gives a dramatic portrayal of burning passion and smoldering hate. The story concerns the plotting of a plantation overseer to win the hand of his master's daughter, but is thwarted by Pierce Lamont, a wreck of an American, whose self-respect is finally recovered through love. A thrill is furnished when_he is placed into the mouth of an active volcano as an offering to the angry gods and saved only in the nick of time. KNICKERBOCKER. The foremost feature at Crandall's Knickerbocker Theater yesterday and today is “The Kid.” second of First National's “Big Five" releas Loew’s Palace this week. £lizabeth Banks, & chorus girl, with a pet goldfish, walks into a gloomy colonial mansion on the Hudson as the flancee of an aristocratic paradox, who leaves for Texas while she is being educated. By the time he re- turns he finds she has progressed so well under the tutelage of his pro- fessor brother and spinster sister that she has changed their personalities. The brother is clad in a Palm Beach and is beardlessly young. The sister has ear puffs and short cuts at both extremities. The wanderer thereupon breaks the engagement and heads again for Texas. And Elizabeth mar- ries the professor. A comedy, news films and other minor features are included in the program. “SILK HOSIERY.” “Silk Hoslery,” which is being shown this week at Moore's Rialto, has many incidents and scenes of in- terest. The story concerns a girl em- ployed In a big modiste shop, who falls in love with a handsome Englishman visiting the shop with his intended to buy a wedding gown. She over- hears the woman plotting for a big robbery and is instrumental in thwarting it. Of course, at the close she wins the man she loves. Exciting incidents are continually cropping up, and the modiste shop enables the lead- ing lady to appear in gowns of rich materials. Enid Bennett plays the leading part. A comedy worth while, the Fox News and a musical program which “Passion” was the fir: which Charlie Chaplin returns to the | |flff screen after a long absence. A com- plete review will be found in con- nection with the Mtropolitan The- | /Il ater, where the identical bill is being shown. CRANDALLS, “The Life of the Party,” the chief feature at Crandall’s Theater the first three days of this week, is packed with merry doings. Roscoe (“Fatty”) Arbuckle, who has graduated from two-reel slapstick comedies to fea- tures of more impressive length and substance, is the pictured star in this film version of one of Irvin 8. Cobb’s diverting magazine novelettes. Minor films also are shown to pipe organ accompaniment.
