N:fiinnm&lflnl!& “Hello, Alexander.” That Mclntyre and Heath, the black- face comedians, have not lost any of their popularity was demonstrated at the opening performance of their last season’s success, “Hello, Alexander,” last night at Poli's Theater. A large audience was on hand to greet the | popular pair and demonstrated time ‘and time again its approval of their | revue. The plot of tie play, slender as it is, nevertheless affords the comedians {a chance to win much laughter with their original methods. MclIntyre ap- {pears as Alexander and -Heath imper- {sonates Henry Clay Jones, proprietor of “The Ever-Ready ored Min- strels.” The former is down and out, while Jones parades in attire denoting considerable wealth. Alexander is induced to join the minstrel show and the story drifts to a close with Al- exander still further down and out and Jones. minus his diamond front, tr ) up appearances. Many new and jokes are interjected into the play by the comedians whi g0 a long way in to its lau Mabel Elaine as colored maid, dienne, but presents a dance, a combi- nation of @ shimmy and clog dance, which won the applause for several encores. Earl Rickard gave an imitation of Al Jolson in singing “Rock-a-Bye Baby.” which won much applause, and me melodies sung by Vivian Holt and Lillian Rosedale also won high favor with the audience. Homer Dick- inson and Grace Deagon, well known to the vaudeville stage, present a skit, which is entertaining, but too much scored by the chorus girls, with Dorothy Moore in “Pretty Baby. in daubing the bald heads along the isle seats with powder puffs. All in all the show is entertaining and admirers of McIntyre and Heath ill find the revue to their liking. “Qver the Hill.” Audiences undiminished in size y:sterday afternoon and last evening witnessed and unmistakably enjoyed the Fox film production, “Over the Hill,” based on the poems by Will Carleton. This is the fourth and final week here of this picture, hereto- fore reviewed in the Star, which tells a vitally human story, with the roles handled by actors of exceptional ability. “Bathing Beauties.” “Bathing Beauties,” a splashing riot of femininity, with beach and sum- {mer vacation settings, is_the attrac- tion at the New Capitol Theater this i week. | "Jack Hunt presents a clever por- trayal of Bogus Lord Hoakum and Jack La Mont, in the character of the real Lord Hoakum, looms up as a comedian of no mean ability. Eddie Lloyd. as the bellhop, and Louise Mer- sereau. as Polly Spice, are others in an exceptional cast. The first act is an amusing absurd- ity entitled “Hotel Matrimony,” which is carried through with continuous merriment. The second act is “At the Beach,” with the “Bathing Beauties,” and displays grace, beauty and loveli- ness rarely surpassed on the burlesque stage. The Strand. The Strand patrons appeared to like the opening of the new show | Sunday, for they crowded the play- { house at yesterday's performances. Arthur Dunn and company failed to appear, but may report later, it was announced. The other vaudeville acts are entertaining. Caron and Farnum have a clown tumbling act that wins laughter; the Gordon duo | had several recalls for their popular { songs, and Al Fields, assisted by Con Roddy, was funny in an act entitied {“The Man Behind the Chair.” The Musical Nosses offer a program of good music on brass and string in- struments and win much applause. The photoplay, “Society Snobs,” with Conway Tearle in the leading role, {is entertaining, the acting and pho- tographic work being excellent. A comedy, a scenic and news weekly are other attractions. Photoplay Features. “The City of Silent Men.” A photo drama which grips the at- tention is “The City of Silent Men,’ Thomas Meighan’s latest production, that is being shown this week at Loew’'s Palace Theater. It is full of pathos, with just enough humorous episodes to lighten the. sad effect. Realistic scenes inside the grim walls of Sing Sing prison add to the im- rressiveness of the picture, which is an adaptation by Tom Foreman of the novel by John A. Moroso. Lois Wilson is seen in support of Mr. Meighan. “The City of Silent Men” is a story of a country boy who leaves his wid- owed mother to seek his fortune in New York, where unconsciously he becomes the tool of a gang of crimi- nals, and ultimately finds himself ac- cused of the enurder of a defenseless citizen. “Railroaded to prison” for a life term on circumstantial evidence, he eventually makes his escape and takes up life on the Pacific coast un- der a fictitious name, where he meets a girl, falls in love and is married. How he makes good, proves his in- nocence and aids in the conviction of the real murderer are dramatic inci- dents of a fascinating story. “Dummy Love,” Topical Tips and Pathe News complete the program. “Bob ']!-mpton of Placer.” “Bob Hampton of Placer,” a Mar- shall Neilan production, is the at- traction at Crandall's Metropolitan Theater this week. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, MONDAY, APRIL 18, 1921.

Here occur events that unravel the mys- tery of the murder of which he was accused and restore Nolan to a place of honor among his former as: ciates and lead to his heroic partic pation in the battle of the Little Big Horn, where he pays the supreme sacrifice. James Kirkwood is excellent in the title role, and Marjorie Daw, Noah Berry and Pat O'Malley furnish ef- fective support. Wesley Barry of “Dinty” fame also is cast in a role that tells. Many will believe that Director Neilan has added a masterplece to the roster of the screen in this pic- ture. “Straight From Paris.” Admirers of Clara Kimball Young filled the Rialto Theater at yester- picture, a concernis an_American modiste, Who visits the French capital to secure ideas for the home trade. Her per- sonal charms and beautiful gowns gain entrance for her into the aris- tocratic circles, and an exciting lov: affair follows, in which the heroinc wins her ideal. Sada Cowan, the author, has provided situations that make tense and even thrilling mo- ments. Exceptional furnishings mark the picture, the details being car- ried out with a lavish hand and good taste. The added features are good, in- cluding a Torchy comedy, news and scenic_reels, and an excellent mu- sical program. “Lying Lips.” Screen dramas which have power to grip the imagination and stir the soul may be booked safely, from a box office standpoint. for extended Washington runs. This is demon- strated in the second week's h-mu:\f- ration of “Lying Lips.” aN Loew’s Columbia Theater yesterday. The story is unique, the action spectacu- lar. It is a play with a punch, a moral and a satisfying after effect. A shipwreck in -Atlantic and an interrupted wedding ceremony are woven into the romance of a young English girl who discovers and mar- ries in the nick of time the man she really loves. Added musical and photoplay numbers round out the bill. - “The Untamed Woman.” “The Untamied Woman,” a photoplay whose scenes are laid in a South Sea Island, with Doraldina, the noted dancer, in the role of a woman who obtains a mastery over cannibals and savages by the psychology of dancing them under her influence, is this week’'s picture feature at Moore's Garden Theater. It is presented with the embellishment of a Hawaiian pro- logue to create atmosphere, in which Signe Paterson, said to be an orig- inal exponent of the hula dance,’ with the Royal Hawaiian Quartet of na. tive singers, dancers and ukulele play ers, headed by S. M. Kaiawe and Walter Kalomoku, formerly with the “Bird of Paradise” company, appear with Florence Armstrong, lyric so- prano, and Marie Taylor, contralto, as additional attractions. Eassili Lepps, who wrote the musical ecore for the photoplay, conducted the or: chestra in person. All told, the com: bination is an alluring South Sea Island entertainment that finds high favor with many. A picture comedy, a scenic and news pictures are added attractions. Knickerbocker. The Marshall Neilan roduction, “Bob Hampton of Placer.,” together with the identical supplementary at- tractions shown at Moore's Metro- politan Theater yesterday, were also shown at Moore's Knickerbocker The- —_— e e e It presents a thrilling spectacle in the gathering of the Sioux, Black- {foot and Cheyenne warriors under Sitting Bull, the expedition of Gen. Terry's United States Regulars, in- cluding Gen. Custer's and Gen. Reno's commands; the tragic miscar- ! riage of plans and that heroic battle i against overwhelming odds at the | Little Big Horn, Custer’s last stand. The story concerns Capt.
