Photoplay Features. METROPOLITAN—“A Midnight Bell Charles Ray, in “A Midnight Bell.” the photoplay shown at the Metro- politan Theater this week, displays is ability in a role different from those in which he ‘has been seen here- tofore. The story concerns a salesman for a rubber heel concern, who is “fired” while “working his line” in a small town. He decides to remain and then lands a job in a small store, where the “pep” he puts into the establish- ment triples its business. The pro- prietor has taken him to his home as a Dboarder and there he meets the daughter and also another boarder who has recently purchased the pool room of the town. The man is tempted by a Wwill not stay in a church which has the reputation of being “haunted.” He ‘accepts the bet and wins. He then de- termines to investigate further and on his second excursion discovers a tunnel that had been dug from the basement of the church, under the roadway and into the cellar of ‘the town bank 5 The poolroom proprietor, it appears. is in league with a band who had planned to rob the bank that migh: Ray i% discovered in the church and also the .. who had gone there warn him of a presentment that he was aabout to meet with harm.

COLUMBIA—"The Bronze Bell.” “The Bronze Bell,” a photoplay version of Joseph Vance's noted novel. which had its first Washing- ton showing yesterday at Loew's Co- lumbia Theater, is a gripping story of mystery, intrigue and- romantic love. The story is enhanced by elabo- rate occidental settings. It concerns a young' East Indian prince, educated in England, who fled to America to avoid an obligation to lead people against British au- thorit In America he meets a dare-devil Yankee, in love with the daughter of an English army officer in Tndia. The prince, realizing the dangers to his people of a revolt against the British authority, per- suades the American, who has his physical likeness, to go to India and impersonate him in an effort to avert the revolt. and incidentally to save the young' woman with whom he is infatuated. ~After many thrilling ad- ventures in India the young Ameri- can succeeds in his_mission. Courtney Foote and Doris May have the chief foles and are supported by a large and competent cast. A com- +edy and International News pictures also are shown. PALACE—“T Am Guilty.” Bradley King's thrilling story, “I Am Guilty." is shown this week at the Palace. with Louise Glaum in the leading roie. Parker Read, jr. is the producer and everything connected with the picture, from the subtitles to artistic photggraphic detail, is ex- cellent. b Miss Glaum belongs to the melo- dramatic field and in this play demon- strates a fitness for the work. In the tewse scenes, every point is grasped with true instinct and the action car- ried out with fidelity. The support- ing company includes Mahlon Hamil- ton, Joseph Kilgore, Ruth Stonehouse and Claire Dubrey in characters that require real acting to.emphasize the finer or technical parts of the play. The story concerns a rich lawyer who marries a chorus girl, different from the general run. Away on busi- ness, his wife accepts an invitation \ to a party of her old friends and the villain, of course, tries to “get her.” During a struggie a burglar behind a curtain slips a revolver into hel hand. At this point a girl discarded by the villain fires a vengeful shot from the dark and the wife belleves she did the shooting. The husband comes home, the prattle of a child un-| g covers the escapade and after finding | the revolver the'husband goes to thi underworld after the real murderes: The tragedy is re-cnacted before murderess, who has become a dop fiend, and she confesses. The hus- | band then makes the wife go into court, confess the shooting and save the man who has been declared guilty by the jury. The husband rushes in at this point, shows the confession and—the “happy ending.” “Bobby Bumps,” Pathe, : Current Tapics-and a beautifully colored play- let are shown also. The screen version of Charles Hoyt's famous old play, “A Midnight Beil,” with Charles Ray for its star, was shown also at Crandall's Knick- erbocker Theater yesterday and will be continued today. It is supple- g mented with “Sweet Revenge,” a com- edy; the Pathe News, Topics of the Day and orchestral accompaniment.
