In the role of Kathleen, Miss Tal madge is an embodiment of girlishi bouyancy: loving the two old men, | and when occasion -comes reveal- ing a womanhood born of suffering and love. .

COLUMBIA—“Te Failure?” i ch wholesome comedy shown on | screen at Loew's Columbia this week keeps the house in atmost con- stant laughter. The feature attrac- tion, “Is "Matrimony a Failure?" is| tull of laughable scenes, surrounding, as it does, the question of the legal- ity of marriage licenses issued to couples in the town of Galesburg. It is a screen version of Leo Ditrich- stein’s well known stage play, shown for tRe first time in Washington. It was scenarized by Walter Woods. The merry nature of the story is fully up- held by the good acting of plavers such as T. Roy Barnes, Lois Wilson, Lila Lee, Walter Hiers, Tully Mar- shall and others. - The story concerns a debutante of the town, ‘who eloped with the man ! she loved, obtaining a marriage license from the assistant marriage clerk. However, an unsuccessful suitor, with a smattering knowledge | of law, asserts that the marriage is illegal because the license was not | issued by the marriage clerk, where- upon & number of the young husbands of the town leave their spouses under the belief that they are free, the as- sistant marriage license clerk having 1id that many of the couples of ¢l town had been ‘married on lice: issued by him. The marriage license clerk comes back and says that the licenses issued by his assistants are legal, but in the meantime efforts are made by the parents of the debutante to have her marry the re- jected suitor, and they nearly bring about a bigamous marriage. The final decision sends back home the crestfallen husbands who had taken ] Mu th the | e conception Matrimony a] edy. Loew's topical tips -and a sym- phony rendition of the overture, “Poet and Peasant,” complete the bil The production will be seen for the first four days of the week. RIALTO—“Beyond the Rocks.” “Beyond the Rocks,” featuring Gloria Swanson and Rodolph Valen- tino, began its second week at Moore's Rialto yesterday afternoon. It is an_exceedingly elaborate pro- | duction, for many lands in many ages | are. pictured, and the costumes are appropriately varied. Miss Swanson earns her title of the ‘Glamorous Gloria” with an amazing succession of handsome fur wra clinging gowns and sports costumes, and she also appears as a child about ten or eleven year: perhaps wonders why actress, regardless of age, as a very young child, but it seems to be quite “comme il faut” of late. Rodolph Valentino is as a young English lord, with Italian an- cestry, and he appears succe in vachting, Alpine climbing, old English and exploring apparel, all of which sounds rather unrelated, but the plot shifts rapidly and unexpect- edly from one scene to anothe The opening one discloses a quiet English sea coast, where a charming daughter is married to an obese and elderly man, for money, of course The honeymoon is spent In the Alps, where the lady fair is rescued from perilous position on a mountain ledge by the young lord. Paris Is the next stopping point of the party, and here, In a picturesque garden at Versailles, the Englishman tells a story which | (e S| MUTT AND JEFF —Good Night!

PALACE—“Why Announce Your Marriage ?" “Why Announce Your Marriage™ a comedy based on a romance incident that made newspaper headlines before | it attained the glamour of fiction, was presented at the Palace Theater yes- terday - before audiences that _testified to the popularity of Elaine Hammer- stein, who is starring in the picture after a somewhat prolonged absence from the Washington screen. The story concerns a- woman with a career who loves a fellow artist, but objects to marriage because of its in- terference with her work. The result is a secret marriage with separate es- tablishments and with meetings just frequent enough to preserve the ro- mance of courtship—a. situation which naturally matures to a’ point that re- flects upon the reputation of the bride. ] She loves her personal liberty to an extent that causes her to ignore the | appeals of the few who are aware of the secret relations between the two, but Dame Rumor begins to put a sin- accent to the gossip she peddles . and the career has to give way public recognition of the wedding and the events that relate to its per- | formance—whereupon everything ends _i;’fillh:.\]lpll}' as the proverbial marriage | ell. It is just a laughing reminder that | the conventions of life must be ob- served and that no woman may break society’s custom without having to pay that other proverbial authority who calls himself e Piper. Miss Hammerstein capti ingly unconventional, and h her little pretense at being above is so lovably human in her deference to a rule that she can’t get the better of that it must doubtless i prove enjoyable to the real heroine on ‘whom the story is built.
