COLUMBIA—“Affairs of Anatol.” At Loew's Columbia this week Wal- lace Reid, Gloria Swanson and half a score of screen notables prove con- clusively that it is best to attend to one's own affairs and let the rest of the world do the same. The lesson is offered in “The Affairs of Anatol.” Cecil- B. DeMille's much heralded photoplay production, whose screen version by Jeanie MacPherson is adapted from the Schnitzler stage story. It is a picture well worth se: ing, humorous and beautifully, al- most wonderfully, staged. The hero is a tender-hearted young man of wealth, overanxlous to assist beauty in distress. Anatol, known to his intimates as Tony, is especially good as a helping_hand, but where ‘woman is concerned he displays more taste than discretion. For Tony is married and the better half is not so keen regarding her husband’s char- itable inclinations. Tony's first venture in the soul- saving business comes shortly after Close 6 P.M.

In the companion of & rich roue he recognizes a schoolday swedtheart and takes her to his wife for protection. But Mrs. Tony does not care to assist and the husband assumes the burden Everything progresses splendidly un- til the lady in distress refuses to give up at Tony's command the “jewels” presented by the rich roue, so the charitably inclined young man vents his spite on the furniture in the poor glrl's apartment and the affair ends with & big “smash,” literal as well as gurative. This furniture-breaking icene, by Wallace Reld, is indeed “some smashup.” The wife soon forgives Tony and all might have been well had not Mrs. Tony become too_ 4nterested In Hindu hypnotist. Under the latter's influence, at an afternoon tea, she pleases her guests by exhibiting much of her charming figure, but it does not please friend husband, and he takes her to the country, where he believes “all is sweet and pure.” There a farmer's pretty wife gets from Tony a kiss and his pocket- book, while the young philanthropist gets a nice, long walk home and a frosty reception on arrival. Agrecing to disagree, Tony sets out to daub red paint over the gay white way and the wife secks the compan- ionship of a family friend, old in ac- quaintance but not in years. When Satan Synne, a Eroadway favorite, “gets him” for a $3,000 check to aid her husband, Tony decides it 18 about time to quit meddling in other peo- ples’ affairs and goes home. The wife does not return from her outing untii the next day and Tony orders her from the house. But the Hindu hyp- band has to accept the wife on faith. It is one of those pictures which, to use a colloquialism, is “as sure-fire as the monkey cage at the zoo.” Wallace Reid makes a good Anatol and his “reform” is thoroughly convincing. Gloria Swanson as the wife makes the men wonder how Tony could ever glance at another woman until they glimpse Wanda Hawley as the ex- schoolday sweetheart, Agnes Ayres in the role of the farmer's wife and Bebe Daniels portraying the voluptuous Satan Synn. It is & quartet of un- usual beauty. The remainder of the caste leaves nothing to be desired, ex- cept more of them. METROPOLITAN—“The Old Nest.” “The Old Nest,” transferred from book to screen by Rupert Hughes, author of the story, was shown to as many men and women as could crowd into” Crandall's Metropolitan yester- day afternoon and evening. There was a reason—Mr. Hughes has put flesh and blood and human nature into an everyday home of an every- day family, father, mother znd six boisterously happy youngsters who play and scrap and eat bread and jam. It is a story of childhood and adoles- cence and of eternal motherhood— and the tense silences, furtive wiping of eyes and reminiscent chuckles gave testimony that the story visioned for all might have been pictured for each. The prosaic realism of today was bridged by selection of “Songs from the Old Folks” a tender medley of by-gone melodies played with artis- tic wistfulness by the orchestra, led by Director Mirskey, and by Mrs. Flora McGill, whose solo, “Little Gray Home in the West,” shared in the insistent applause. Mary Alden, as the mother of her half-dozen babies—of which she oc- casionally permitted the good doctor who was her husband to own a share —was, to begin with, a young and vigorously defensive protector of her romping flock, and her transitions to middle life, and at last to old age longing for the brood that had wing ed its way to the outside world and forgotten the old nest, was more than acting. It was tense realism, The preparation for the coming of her lawyer son that buoyed her up to old-time briskness, the baking of pies and roasting of turkey, and putting back one of the folds of the table, lund the telegram of disappointment, was a tragedy that, happily, was compensated for by the return of the one black sheep, a lovable scamp well acted by Cullin Landis, climaxed later by the inrush of every one of the “children,” led by the boy who had just been appointed attorney general, and finished off by the baby, who had cut his name on the mahogany table and was now an artist of fame. Dwight Crittendon as the father, ve been stern except and somewhat under ‘mother.” was natural to the life, and made one individually glad that, at least, the two were growing old together, while the spin- stery maid and ancient colored man showed up jewel-like in contrast to these days df impersonal “help.” As the foreword warned, there is but little plot and no mystery. It is just a story of home. And home is ‘the seed of humanity, and hu- manity has its fulfillment in God. The orchestral music was excellent. PALACE—*“Pasisng Through.” At Loew's Palace Theater yesterday Douglas MacLean, the screen star, was given a hearty reception upon his personal appearance. He will appear in person at 4, 7:30 and 9:30 p.m. daily throughout the week. Mr. Mac- Lean gave a short talk and “got off” several jokes. His appearance is made in connec- tion with the presentation at the theate_r this week of the photoplay “Passing Through,” a pleasing story, in which he is pictured as the cashier of a bank, ,n love with the daughter of the president, who assumes the blame for a robbery committed by her brother. in order that the father and daughter may not be disgraced. The cashier is sentenced to prison, and while being taken there the traln is wrecked and he escapes. He reap- lars. in; fit your fectly. the war.

Again the town bank, of which the father of “the girl” is president, is robbed. The young man endeavors to capture the rohbers and is imprisoned in the vault. A trick mule kicks out the side of the vauilt, the young hero is freed in time to save him from suffocation, the thieves are lrlreated and “ a good time is had by all” Musical numbers, news events and & comedy complete the program. RIALTO—“Mother o’ Mine.” That thrilling story, “The Octopus,” by Charles Belmont Dayis, is shown in film form this week at the Rialto under the film title of “Mother o' Mine,” the deft hand of Thomas H. Ince being shown in its transition from book to screen. It occasionally occurs that a pic- ture is improved over the story book The thrills— the auto race to the prison, the victim saved from the electric chair and the struggle to get the main witness to confess she had committed perjury out of revenge, are all pictured in a tense and thrilling manner. The story tells of a mother's love for her boy and of his love for her, his desire to go out into the world to ad- vance in a business life, his meeting with his father who deserted his wife when the hero was a baby, the hero’s refusal to go wrong after the girl he has fallen in love with points out his situation, the father's ugly charge against the boy's mother which leads to a struggle and an accidental death, the hero going to the electric chair rather than to tell the cause of the fight, and the final rescue brought about by the mother, the sweetheart and the district attorney.

CRANDALL'S—“The Inner Cham- ber.” Pictured as a working girl who knows the difference between right and wrong, and who lives up to her knowledge and beliefs, Alice Joyce is the screen star the first three days of this week at Crandall’s Theater in “The Inner Chamber,” a Vitagraph melodrama adapted from “The Blood- Red Dawn,” by Charles Caldwell Dobie. Miss Joyce is cast as Claire Rob- son, who Incurs the enmity of her employer by refusing to dine with him while his wife is out of the city. She drifts from one position to an- other, constantly hampered by friends of her former employer. She finally ends up as a singer in a cheap cab- aret and finds romance there in spite of the sordid surroundings. It is an interesting picture, likely to please the film enthusiasts. Pedro de Cordoba, who has the role opposite the star, gives his usual fin- shed and polished interpretation to his character. Mrs. De Wolf H per. I1da Waterman and Homes Herbert also contribute good work. Max Sennett's new twotreel farce, “Hard Knocks and Love 'Taps.” fur. nishes the amusement. The action is fast and furious and the picture pre. sents practically all of Sennett's fa- mous beauties and comedians. KNICKERBOCKER—“The Old Nest.” The chief feature at Crandall's Knick- erbocker yesterday and. today is Gold wyn's picturization of Rupert Hughes’ story. “The Old Nest,” a review of which will be found in connection with the Metropolitan Theater. “A Hero Tem,” presented for the rst time, was a laughmaker, and the 'Poet and Peasant’ overture was played by the Knickerbocker orchestra. — FOUR AUTOISTS DROWN.
