3 AMOSERMERTST % THE “SUNDAY STAR: WASHINGTON, D. C. MAY 8 1921-PART 3 ."AMUSEMENTS i S Amusement.s’ The Photoplay | TATISTICS carefully compiled and checked by competent and pains- taking individuals, who were guided by a desire for accuracy nbov:‘ all else, show not only an interesting, but a surprising, ‘ltualioni as regards photoplay attendance in the National Capital. It is tha practically the entire population of the District oi Columbia “goes to the ! | H i i | i | | | | i i | ! i | | | movies” once each week! The foregoing. of course, does not mean that every man, woman and child—white, colored and of other nationality—takes position facing a ccreen. But it does mean that the total attendance each week reaches a figure within hailing distance of that of the whole number of residents within the District line. It implies that a great many—a very great man —visit the picture theaters several times weekly. if not every day or even ing. There are visitors to the city by the hundreds who must also be reckoned with as movie fans Standing room only seems to be the invariable rule. A stroll past the entrances to the larger of the downtown screen theaters any even- ing gives convincing proof of the popularity of the photoplay.” There seems always to be a waiting line. The same holds true oi the uptown theaters. All of which would seem to indicate that the movie is most certainly “of the people, by the people, for th: people.” * * % The week just closed was one of interesting attractions. “Man- Woman-Marriage” had an ensemble of 4600 people. which in truth is a “smal]l army.” when cmployed merely to entertain and enlighten audi- ences. “Sentimental Tommy™ made good its heralding as one of the out- §‘anll|ng pictures of the screen year. “Withont' Limit” likewise attracted nd held the attention of large gatherings. The same is true of "Reputa- jon.” which featured Priscilla Dean. “Madonnas and Men.” presented | with a prologue depicting scenes of ancient Rome. proved a novelty and | ; S | M\riam (DOPER and ConwAY a success. The many other offerings seemed to give substantial satisiac- g 1 B TEARLE. Melropolite tion. The promise for the week beginning today is even more alluring. * ok X The management of a photoplay theater in a leading city of the| south has hit on a novel idea that is proving a boon te a clean-up cam- paign in progress there.

One is that Snowball likes to race. but like some human beings is inclined to be lazy and cheat once in a while. When the cur- tain is dropped at the finish of a race, he can see it descending beiore the other horses, as he is nearest to it, and inrmediately shortens his stride, getting ready to stop, his running mates promptly ifollowing suit. ! It is here that the fleck of the whip brings him to the realization that | he must carn his keep the same as any other actor. On the last show. however, things are different. He runs perfectly then and without any urging, scemingly to know well that he is through for the day, and it is bed and “oats” in a few minutes. : MARIE PREVOST - Crterion .
