Samuel D. Smith, in whose house the young man roomed, discovered the body and summoned a physician. The latter examined the body and pronounced life extinct. Eichmann. it is stated, had become despondent because he had been out of employment the past few weeks. He left no written message of ex- planation, so far as the police were able to learn. nor had he told friends he contemplated suicide. Coroner Nevitt gave a certificate of =uicide, and the body was turned over to an undertaker. Mrs. C. Ditt- man, mother of the dead man, and a sister reside at 728 Olive stree New Orleans, La. They were not fled of the suicide. Men Count-- Buildings Don’t That’s why we are showing you week after week the men who are within this bank, and not the bank as it looks from without.

Boteler. of | WABPY! “Marcus Show of 1920.” | To those who believe that musical ow of 1920, tional Theater 1t |of merit, the Marcu: which opened at the last night, will make its appeal. boasts a score of scenes, with ma specialties, and the “Marcus Peaches, o mention the Marcus " “flappers” and “chicklets comes from the west, where the en- tertainment is widely known, but it fails to convince the effete eastermer that the west of today is any more “wild and wolly” than Broadway; in fact, the Marcus Show of 1920 is by no means as “wicked” as other re- vues that have come here. The show, as it is designated, is de- cidedly reminiscent of “burlesque" en- tertainments which have graced oth- er boards. It is produced, however, on a more elaborate scalé, and the scenic effects, the costumes and the &irls are comparable to those of oth- er big revues. “Under the Sea.” in ich is reproduced “The Birth of a painting by Bourgerecau, is both beautiful and effective. A plot in a musical revue would be 80 out of place as to be startling. The Marcus show is no exception to the general rule in this particular. To Mike Sacks and Charles Abbate is assigned the task of funmaking. The Yatter is the author of the words and music of the show. He looks “funny” and he is. Mike Sacks' com- edy depends largely upon rapid-fire conversational power and slap-dash methods, but he was responsible for much of the laughter last night. Of the mass of specialties, the dancing of Marion and Randali, the playing of Oliver and Maria Vespo, Italian accordionists. and the singing of Bee Winsome, cast as “Miss Revue of 1920,” stand out particularly. Mlle. Marion gives a particularly snaky snake dance, 0o, “In_the Shadow of the Sphix.” Billy Dale, varjously cast as Youth and Wood B. Bride- groom, has an unusual voice and adds to the entertainment not a ttle. Outside of a very frank exposure of nether limbs—which are not of- fensive, it must be admitted—the Marcus “peaches” are no mofe “un- dressed” than are the girls of other shows that have come to Washing- i ton. “Cute Cuties.” | Patrons of the Capitol Theater find enjoyment, apparently, in this week's show by the “Cute Cutie: lesque organization featur ians. and Barry Melton, an attractive prima donna with a good voice, as well as Frances Farr and Rose Allen in eongs, dances and comedy inter- ludes. Eddie Golden also contributes songs and dances and helps along the funmaking. Besser and Golden, in “The Crook": Miss Barry. in 0- ments of Melody,” and the Russell sisters as baby vamps, with Rose Al- len and an attractive chorus support in “Sweet Daddies” are outstanding features of the show. The entertain- ment is well staged and costumed. Potter-Eisenberg Recital Tomorrow Louis Potter, pianist, and Maurice Eisenberg, cellist, will give an inter- esting and varied recital tomorrow evening at 8:15 o'clock at the New Masonic Auditorium, 13th street and New York avenue.

Contrasting scen laid in Canadian wilds, where a room log house is home, and life is as rimitive as mere existence could al- low. Theé story concerns an English girl who has been raised in the lap of luxury. She is engaged to be mar- ried to the owner of a great estate, but is not sure the marriage will mean happiness. She decides to visit relatives living in backwoods Canada, and there she falls in love with a | and |of living forever the primitive life, she revolts and starts back to England. Her lover also decides upon a trip to England and they embark on the same boat. The steamer is wrecked and the two only survivors are left upon a part of the boat still afloat. She plights her troth to him in that hour of extreme peril, but when a res- cue steamer is sighted she recalls her epulsion to the primitive life. He allows ber to be rescued, while he hides from the rescuers. One of the dramatic scenes is shown in the fir- ing of a ot from the rescuing steamer, which sinks the derelict and apparently sends the Canadian to his death. The girl returns to wed the wealthy Englishman, but at the altar her feeling of responsibility for the death of the man she really loves tops the ceremony. A happy climax 1 follows. “Mamma’s Affair.” Women with “nerves” will find much to think about, as well as an exhilerator, in “Mamma's Affair,” featuring 'Constance Talmadge, at the Metropolitan Theater this week. The story is a slap at those who are continually complaining of “ills and making ‘others uncomfortable thereby. Rachael Barton Butler, the author, with “Mamma's Affair” won the annual prize offered by Harvard College an dthe little comedy de- served the reward. The story concerns a mother who demands more than her share of at- tention from those around her, her daughter being the principal suf- ferer. A physician is called in and diagnoses the case as one of imag- inary ills. The daughter falls in love” with the handsome doctor and all_ends happily. Constance Taimadge has a role that fits her well, and, although there is little of the tomboy in her antics, her quiet comedy is effective and natural. Four members of the cast were with the original play and led by Effie Shannon are delightful. Kenneth Harlan makes a good-look- ng physician and plays his | John Emerson and Anita Loos {ed the play for the screen. jminor features include a farce, | Pathe News and Current Topics. “Kazan.” | Among the vest of the animal'ana human interest stories of the screen this year is the picture version of James Oliver Curwood’s ‘Kazan,” which is shown this week at Moore's Rialto Theater. Unusual scenes in the tnow-clad Canadian northwest are a salient feature of the picture. The story concerns * '8 half savage dog, which turns sgainst all men after the murder of his master, but when befriended by a girl, never forgets her kindness. How the dog repays the girl's kindness by three times saving her from the wolves, both brute and human, and brings her love and happiness, is unfolded in an interesting picture story. Jane Novak and Ben Deeley are pictured in the two principal roles. 'Kazan™ is a type of screen play which has to be seen to be appreciated, Minor attractions include a Christie PENNINGTON & TAYLOR Painting Paperhanging The Better Kind 2333 18th St. N. Col. 1077 F.

MY WORD' ONLY ONE Pound comedy featuring Bobby Vernon, the Fox News weekly, and selections by the Rialto orchestra. “The Love Special.” Frank Spearman’s railroad romance, “The Daughter of a Magnate.” adapt- ed to the screen as “The Love Spe- cial,” with Wallace Reid as its r and Agnes Ayres and Theodore Rob- erts in important roles, is delighting the patrons of loew's Palace Theater this week. It is another of those love stories, with a bit of plot and with nothing unwholesome, that afford en- joyable entertainment of a type pecu- liar to Wallace Reid’s productions. A young construction engineer meets the daughter of the railroad president, and at once becomes in- terested in her. She confides in hii that one of the road directors is plotting a million-dollar loss for her father's road, and both the engineer and thé girl proceed to thwart his plans and make everything ripe for the happy finale. Minor films include “The Baby,” a Sunshine comedy; the Pathe News and Literary Digest Top- ics, with orchestral overture, “The Village Orchestra, and accompani- ment. “The Outside Woman.” Wanda Hawley, in “The Outside Woman.” an adaptation of the stage farce by Phillip Bartholmae, delighted patrons of Moore’s Garden Theater yesterday. The story hinges on the weakness of a newly wed wife to exchange arti- cles of value in the house, and when. on the impulse of the moment, she decides to let a peddler have a valua- ble Aztec idol in payment for a sup- posedly costly shawl, the -trouble starts in earnest. The scenes that follow wherein the wife throws dis- cretion to the winds in her efforts to replace the idol before the return of her husband lead to many laughable complications. Clyde Fillmore as Honeybunch, the husband. is convincing. Short film subjects and an interpre- tive music score round out the bill.
