The scenery, groupings and general action of the revue serve as a reminder of burlesque put on at the downtown houses. The fact that a real lion is carried by the company must not be overlooked. The lion is realistic. Bobby Clark practically kept the audience in laughter all the time he was on the stage, and the producer saw to it that he was there almost constantly. The second number in importance is Olga Mishka in a series of dances which are exceptional in beauty of execution and originality. This clev- er dancer was the feature of “Tickle Me,” and won her way to distinction. John Alden assisted as conductor and filled in with entertaining violin so- los while the star changed costumes. Seven colored players, billed as the “Musical Spillers,” open the program th z selections; Earl Rickard sings in black face; Rial and Lind- strom on the flying rings also help out with songs and dances, and the White Way Trio in song selections, Permane and Shelley in a funny mu- sical and trapeze act_and the Shubert Pictorial News round out the bill. STRAND——Arthur Deagon. Arthur Deagon, the musical comedy star, in a humorous repertoirg of orig- ina) songs, is the featured attraction at the Strand Theater this week. The Les Silvas, a sensational pole- balancing act. keeps the audience wondering and sent_chills down the spine. Martin and Courtney, in “Sparkling Bits of Travesty,” are ac- ceptable and “Silver Threads,” a char- | acter comedy in one act, presented by { Pearl Abbott and company, and Jack Martin and company, in melodies, mu- sic and dances, compiete the acts.” The dancing of Martin is novel, for he has but one leg. The photoplay, featuring Ethel Clay- ton and Charles Meredith, deals with the theme of communicating with the spirit world. It is called “Beyond,” and its director, William D. Taylor, who has many Successes to his credit, such as ‘The Witching. Hour,” has in- vested it with a wealth of scenic beauty. Miss Clayton has a sympathetic role and is supported by a strong company. Photoplays. | | RIALTO—Elias Breeskin—“Play- things of Destiny.” st virtuoso, al prominence ast two years, is appear- ing_in concert repertoire at Moore's alto Theater this week. Yesterday afternoon he proved to a capactty wdience that he is a real artist, and ¢ overwhelming ap- -h led him to_the and_again. Mr. Bree- uvenir de Mos- cow,” by Wieniawski was truly mas- terful, and he highest art is to conceal art,” he played the difficult solo passages of runs and harmonics so lightly and easily that one scarce- Iy realized them to be exhibitions of itechnique. Kreisler's “Old Refrain” followed, and his popular “Liebes- freud” concluded the program. The film attraction, “Playthings of Destiny,” featuring Anita Stewart, un- folds an interesting story, with the scene of action ranging from frozen Canada to tropical Jamaica. The photography throughout is excellent and surpasses many of the purely scenic films often used to supplement programs. There are views of lcy lakes glimpsed through waving pine boughs, and of snow-clad mountain peaks flecked with moonlight. _ The snowstorm rivals that in “Way Down Bast.” and there is also an impressive hurricane among the Jamaican palm trees. “Playthings of Destiny” seeks to prove that we are mere pawns of fate, moved to accomplish remote and hidden purposes. Destiny draws tighter the tangled skeins, and then slowly unwinds them. The Fox News and a comedy, “Torchy’s Frame-Up,” are supplementary features. CAPITOL—“Record Breakers.” At the Capitol Theater this week a new tvpe of show is offered by Jack Reid and his famous “Record Break- er: Reid is seen in characters he has made famous and he is surround- ed by a well chosen cast and a bevy of pretty girls. The performance is fn three parts and is replete with witty 'lines, bright musical numbers and novel stage effects. Mabel Howard, Pauline Hall and Emily Keller appear to ad- vantage in several musical and danc- ing numbers. An added attracti night will be a beaut; age again in's rendition of on Wednesday y contest. PALACE—“Get-Rich-Quick Wal- lingford.” Driving a tack, as bluffing, frequent. ly is termed in the classic sa‘;ne of poker, is considered good form in the great American game, but the prac- tice is frowned upon in better busi- ness circles. There are some, how- ever, who insist upon pursuing this method in commerce, and of this type is “Get-Rick-Quick” Wallingford, who gives his name to the screen feature this week at Loew's Palace Theater. But Wallingford goes the poker play- er one better—he invents his tack be- fore he drives. With Blackie Daw, who has been his partner in many shady transac- tions, Jimmy Wallingford descends upon decrepit Battlesburg, Iowe, and proceeds to impress the natives with the commercial possibilities of their “hick” vallage. Carpet tacks, covered with bits of @ worn necktie, invented on the spur of the moment, and a generous distribution of champagne bring the villagers into the schemers’ net and the “clean-up” is on.. { Of course, lack of funds does not bother the promoters. The Universal Covered Carpet Tack Company is formed, into which the Battlesburgers the stock, and Wallingford gets the { remainder in exchange for his admin- istrative_ work. With so much ready money, Wallingford and Daw pur- chase a trolley franchise to launch a real estate boom, intending to_ leave town hurriedly as soon as all the loose funds available are corraled. | But the rascals experience a change {of heart after meeting a pair of charming village girls. They decide to go straight and are unexpectedly helped by the success of their ven- ture in the tack business. The article is readily marketed, the trolley fran- chise sold to a county magnate and Battlesburg prospers. Happily mar- ried. the reformed confidence men de- o TorormeC confdence men de.

However, Sam liardy as Wallingford, Norman. Kerry as Daw, Doris Kenyon as Fan- ny, the village stenographer, and Di- ana Allen, who is cast as Doafohy, daughter of the real estate agent, prove themselves well fitted for the roles assigned them. It is an alto- gether enjoyable picture. COLUMBIA—“Don’t Tell Every- thing. Should two persons engaged to be married tell one to another all they know? There is an old saying, “Tell a woman what she should know, but don’t tell her everything.” The an- swer to the question, however, is dra- matically given in “Don’t Tell Every- thing,” the photoplay shown yesterday at Loew's Columbia Theater, with a triumvirate of stars—Wallace Reid, Gloria Swanson and Elliott Dexter. It is based on a story by Lorna Moon, adapted to the screen by Sam Wood. The picture, sporadically humorous throughout, deals with two women who love the same man and a self- sacrificing friend who loves one of the women, but who helps his friend to win her against his own chances | pirations to aid him In climbing to | of happiness.

In “Don't Tell Everything” Mr. Reid is pictured young man en- gaged to marry a soclety girl (Gloria Swanson), who also is loved by her flance’s friend (Elliott Dexter). Be- tween the young man and the girl he is to marry there is not a complete understanding, due te the fact that he regards it as unnecessary to tell all_that has passed between himself and another young woman. Through- out the story the young man'’s friend is constantly engaged in an-effort te promote the marriage. The picture- story portrays the Inevitable tangle and misunderstanding that follow be- tween the engaged couple before a complete. understanding is reached. A comedy, “Country Chickens,” fea- turing Louise Fazenda,” and a reel of news pictures also are shown. 5 METROPOLITAN—‘“Her Social Value.” Katherine MacDonald, in “Her So- |ctal Value,” and Harold Lloyd, in “Never Weaken,” two excellent pro- ductions, are shown at the Metro- politan Theater this week. “Her Soclal Value" Is one of the star’s best pictures. The story deals with a shop girl who is married to a young architect who has social as- {the highest peak in his profession. His marriage to the shop grl, who has a brother-in-law motorman, causes his “friends” in higher society to shun him, whereupon the young wife announces her intention to dis- appear forever. A scheming ‘“friend” of the husband pretends to ald her, while planning to undermine the young husband in a big construction contract. A fake elopement is plan- ned by the couple—the wife bellev- ing she can aid her husband in that manner. The husband, however, dis- appears te a western town, where he secures a divorce. The young wife locates him and an earthquake, which burles his home and injures him, brings the two together. Harold Lloyd presents hair-raising feats on top and about the iron skele- ton of a sky-scraper. Time and time again the audience is brought up in a gasp when the young star appears to be about to fall hundreds of feet to the street below. Many amusing scenes are included in the picture. Scenes in varlous parts of the world, News pictures and Literary Digest Toplcs are alse shown. KNICKERBOCKER—“Her Social Value.” Enthuslastic applause greeted the spirited rendition of Ressini's “Barber of Seville” overture by the orchestra at Crandall's Knickerbocker Theater, under Sig. Ernesto Natlello, xester- day.

Washington’s Newest Financial Institution Opened Saturday WITH MARKED SUCCESS— More than 500 individual accounts were opened. with total deposits of over $115,000. All of this represented actual deposits—not complimentary business, and no large accounts were received. We believe this to be a record for new banks ing up to this time. Possibly a careful consideration of our banking methods., and the servicgs we render., may lead you to conclude that it would be to your advantage, also, to become a depositor. If so, you will be very cor- dially welcomed. Start a Christmas Account With Us 3%u OPENS OFFICERS AND BOARD OF DIRECTORS PERCY S. FOSTER President GEORGE B. FRASER Vice President WM. H.
