Farrell MacDonald. Kate Price. James Mar- cus, Kathleen O'Connor, Florence Drew, Harold Hollzand, Mary Warren, Elinor Hancock, Monti Coliins, C. E. Mason. C. B. Leasure and others. It is asserted that the management of the Columbia has spared no ex- pense to make the program this week one of great novelty and charm. The added attraction of the bill is a hila- rious screen conception, entitled “Bet- ter Late Than Never.” in which the Hallroom Boys appear in another of their adventures. Other features are the beautiful and profound Prizma scenic subject, “Our Glorious Dead.” and the latest issue of the International News views, while bia Symphony Orchestra will contrib- ute a delightful overture and musical accompaniment. METROPOLITAN—*‘Domestic Relations.” The program which will be presented at the Metropolitan Theater for week beginning this afternoon is ex- pected to take rank as one of the most Eenerous entertainment values ever of- fered in the capital. The major attrac- tion will be Katherine MacDonald's pro- duction, “Domestic Relations,” a drama dealing with the domestic concerns of two contrasted families. The co-stellar feature will be “My Wife's Relations,” the latest laughfest from the Buster Keaton studios. The customary abbre- viated camera subjects and special or- chestral contributions also will round out the entertainment. It is declared Miss MacDonald has never played with the sincerity, poise and dramatic fire that she reveals in ‘“Domestic Rela- tions” William P. Carleton and George Fisher contribute excellent impersona- tions of characters that are not especial- 1y_sympathetic, and therefore are more difficult of successful portrayal. The settings, photography and direction are of a high order. In “My Wife's Relations™ Buster Kea- ton has hit upon a new source of screen fun. It would be unfair to those who will go to see him to reveal the story. The droll Mr. Keaton by his smileless methods makes this his funniest comedy to date. - The Pathe News and “Topics of the Day"" also will be shown and the Metro- politan_Orchestra_will render selections from Kalman's “Sari” and will supply accompaniment of the pictured subjects. Northwest.” ‘Eugene O'Brien will be the pictured star of the bill at Crandall's Theater the first three days of this week, be- ginning this afternoon, in “Channing of the Northwest.” The blil will also embrace Mack Sennett's travesty, “Step Forward.” On Wednesday and Thursday will be shown “Is Matri- mony a Failure?” with “One Stormy Knight” the comedy feature. For the last two days of the week, Richard Barthelmess will be the star of the bill in his filmization of “Sonny.” in which he Is supported by Pauline Garon and a brilliant cast. “Friday, the 13th,” will be the comedy attrac- tion. Short reels and pipe organ ac- companiment will round out each daily bill. RIALTO—“The Man Unconquer- able.” Jack Holt has been seen in many unusual roles during his screen career, but none has equaled his im. personation of Robert Kendall, a ear] fisher in the South Pacific Is- Pllld!, as he is seen in his latest pro duction, “The Man Unconquerable.’ The scenes of the picture, founded on a story by Hamilton Smith, are laid in the pearling grounds of the South Sea Islands, where authorities con- spire with thieves, and the only law is the law of might. This condition provides ample opportunity for & story full of tense situations, and vig- orous action. Rita Durand, a French girl, as played by Syivia Breamer, whose father owns the pearl island conces- sions, supplies the romance. An’ excellent cast appears in sup- port of Mr. Holt and Miss Breamer, including Clarence Burton, Anna Schaeffer, Jean De Bria Edwin Stevens and Willard Loul: ‘There are many colorful scenes along the Pacific coast and in the interior of the pearl island. - The program of short film features and special orchestral numbers prom- ises exceptional -entertainment, the comedy number being supplied by con- Director Ralph Ince has brought to the production a notable supporting iles Welch, Hunt- Director Leon Brusilof of the Colum- | the | CRANDALL'S—“Channing of the | most ladihable seen Mermaid offerings in some time, entitled “Rapld Fire,” supplemented by a beautiful Bruce scenic, “The One-Man Re- union.” and showing of the latest Fox ews.

As a mere incident of the story of “Reckless Youth” there is mentioned the collision of an Dcean-gcl,rllg yacht and a transatlantic liner. e col- lision does not actually take place, but is a jumbled dream of the heroine while presumably unconscious from the shock of a motor accident. In the written script of the photoplay the collision is dismissed with only.a few words of description. On the stage it would be enacted by indirection, but in the picture it becomes a vivid and excitingscene, calling for the outlay of thousands of dollars and almost infinite ingenuity and effort. The girl's dream of the collision 1s shown as realisticaily as if one were on a third vessel within a hundred yards of the occurrence. An actual liner and a luxurious ocean-going yacht were specially chartered for the collision and repaired afterward to make & scene that occupies not more than sixty seconds to show on the screen. This is the story by Cosmo_ Hamilton that was picturized by Ralph Ince.

In anticipation of the usual throng that goes to Glen Echo Park on the Fourth of July holiday, the manage- ment has arranged for special car i serv Among the epecial enter- tainment features will be the matinee dance Tuesday afternoon, from 4 o'clock until 7:30. There will be an- other session, as usual, in the evening from 8:30 till 11:30. Music will be furnished by Glen Echo's Orchestra There have been added this season a number of features to please both adults and children. The big coaster dip has been vastly improved and en- larged and offers 4,000 feet of avia- tion thrills, equaled only by Coney Island’s most darinig hair-raiser. The carrousel, with its newly equipped organ, has proven a delight. The old mill is still holdinig its own, and the rocking pigs have become the kiddies' best bet. There are two score other enjoyable features. The car ride alone, which affords a magnificent view of the Potomac, with the cool breezes from the river, is well worth the trip. Colonial Beach. Hundreds of Washingtonians are expected to spend the week end and Independence day at Colonial Beach. On acamunt of the expected increase in patronage a special schedule has been arranged for the steamer St Johns to Colonial Beach, The steamer will leave the Tth street wharf today at 9 am.; tomorrow at 2:30 p.m., and Tuesday at 9 a.m. There is enough variety in the entertainment at the beach to attract all classes of pleas- ure seekers. Carriages and automo- biles are for hire to take the visitors through the beautiful country sur- rounding the beach. - The regular 40-mile moonlight sail- ings of the-St. Johns will be resumed Wednesday night at 7:15 o'clock. Marshall Hall. Special arrangements have been made to accommodate large crowds at the Fourth of July celebrations at Marshall Hall, as well as the many visitors who will be here over the holiday period to visit Mount Vernon. Dancing, boating, picnicing and all of the modern amusements are the at- tractions at this beautiful river re- sort. The steamer Charles Macalester makes three trips dally to Marshall Hall, stopping at Mount Vernon on the first two trips. The sailing time of the Macalester will be 10 a.m., 2:30 p.m. and 7 p.m. on week days, but on Stinday the, first trip is delayed a half hour, Starting at 10:30.

Great Falls Park, always delightful is particularly so in the hot summer days, when Washingtonians are able to find among the green trees and beside the wonderful waterfall relief from the torrid temperatures in town.

For those who go to spend the day there are wonderful picnic spots in the woods, and those who seek the park in the evening, after work in the city, find en- Joyment in the searchlight views of the falis and in the dancing in the open-air pavilian. _—————— NEXT WEEK'S PHOTORLAYS. Metropolitan. Next week the Metropolitan The- ater will be memorable for the first Washington presentation of Mack Sennett's latest production, “The Crossroads qf New York,” in_which all of the Sefinett players and famous beauties are filmed in a variety of roles. It is not the usual farcical manner of the Sennett comedies, but relates the story of a country lad’s experiences as the cbject of the af- fections of three distinct types of New York girls. Crandall's. Three photodramatic features will be presented next week at Crandall's Theater. Sunday, Monday,and Tues- dey, Frank Mayo will be the star in “Out of the Silent North.”.with the comedy, “Oh, Daddy.” For Wednes- day and Thursday.

JLECTRIC color music is a term that has recently been made. It is the divine trinity of the theater. Tt is composed of_electricity, of color and of music. The development of this phase of theater lighting owes much to the in- ventive genius of S. L. Rothafel. man- ager of the Capitol Theater of New York. The playing of Tchaikowsky's “1812 Overture” is given as an example of the lighting of such music, because it is probably the most widely known of the Russian composer's music. Three themes are easily recogniz- able in this overture, the first from the Russian hymr “God Preserve Thy People” the second from the French “Marseillaise” and the third, the Rus- [sian national anthem. At the slow and solemn introduction piayed by the viola and the cellos in harmony, the-stage is illumined by soft pastel lights, blue predominat- ing. Then come the gradual ap- proach of the French and the ominous sound of the drums beating in the distance. Here the first notes of the “Marseillaise” are played by the horns At the first beat of the drums a faint red light begins to pulsate on stage, in the footlights, in the house lights end the lights of the prosce- nium arch. As the martial notes grow louder and nearer the red lights grow stronger, and when at last the ap- parent victory of the French is an- nounced by the full sounds of the “Mar- seillaise” rising high and clear, ev- erything is overwhelmed by a mighty blaze of red. Then the original themes emerge agaln and the brilllant red subsides for a time, slowly pulsating. And when the Russian national an- them is introduced in the bass, grow- ing up to the crashing finals with the bells of Moscow loudly ringing out their announcement. of victory, the reds fade into a brilliant amber. The l‘ovenure is closed with a great flood ! of gold sweeping from every direc- tion. Career of Rubini. GOME musicians are born, others are created. Jan Rubini pos- sesses that divine spark called ge- nius. He is recognized by critics and public alike throughout™ this vast universe. His career resembles in many respects those of Ysaye, Elman and Kubetk. Rubini has, in fact, been compared with the latter two in more than one instance. Rubint's father, a doctor of music, first be- came awafe of his son’s prodigious | talent through his accomplishments on a toy violin. Little Jan was im- mediately placed under the best in- struction. At the age of nine he was cclaimed a geniug. Later his father took him, together with his sister, who is a remarkable pianist, on an extensive tour, playing six recitals at the Royal Albort Hall, London, and other important concerts throughout Europe, everywhere arousing_ the most profound enthusiasm. Young Rubini also astonished audiences by conducting large symphony orches- tras, on one occasion having as many 250 musicians under his baton. Although only a little over twenty, Rubini is acknowledged by _critics of both hemispheres as an extraordi- nary gifted violinist and is predicte: ere long to become one of the world’ foremost cotemporary musicians. Wins Quick Success. “JHE struggling aathors who are at- tempting to win fame and for- tune by becoming motion picture scenario writers should be eneour- aged by the record of Mary O'Hara, who has started work on the con- tinuity. for Metro's production of “Peg 0' My Heart,” J. Hartley Man- ners’ play, in which Laurette Taylor will star. The success of Miss O'Hara has been sensational. She came to.the Metro studios two years ago with practicallyno motion picture experi- ence. Ey hard work and constant study of every angle of production she. found an opportunity to write and ‘make good. . As a result, when Rex Ingram wal preparing to do “Turn to the Right' he“gselected her to prepare the scena- rio for this photoplay and later for that -of his production of “The Pris- oner , of. Zenda.” _ When the screen ru:? to “Peg o' My Heart” were se- cul by Metro, Miss O'Hara was “to prepare the continuity. the | CurrentA ttractions AT THE THEATERS THIS WEEK. GARRICK—"The Hottentot” (Garrick Players). This evening. KEITH'S—Lou Tellegen and vaudeville. Tomorrow matinee. KEITH'S—Tellegen and Vaude- ville. The famous French actor, Lou Tel- legen, who first came to this country as one of the leading men with Sarah Bernhardt, will bc the sole headliner in the B. F. Keith Theater bill this., week, commencing with the-matinee tomorrow. Mr. Tellegen is making his first appearance in Keith vaude- ville and he is scoring a pronounced hit. He plays a condensed version of “Blind Youth,® his own comedy, and 18 supported by a qistinguished cast of metropolitan players. The produc- tion 18 made on an ciaborate scale and vies with those in the so-called “legitimate houses.” The French ar- tist possesses a splendid physique, a graceful manner and firished elocu- tion. He has won his spurs as a star and has adopted America as his homeland. The added attraction will be George Whiting and Sadie Burt, veterans in vaudeviile, but young in years. They will offer’ a friccasse of fun called “Several Songs” garnished with droll- ery and comicality- Lester Allen, a familiag figure in the Broadway bills, is another speclal feature and he will present a series of comedy charac- ters with lines by Johnny Hyman. Jan Rubini, the fwedish violin vir- tuoso, and Mile. Diana, the beautiful French chantcuse, will combine their gifts in a minfature recital. The Palerioa troupe of Spanish dancers iwill be an important addition. as they include Viela Victoria, the prima bal- lerina of the court of the king. Hawthorne and Cook will offer “No Rhyme or Reason.” Sydney Phil- lips will present songs and stories. Spanish | John and Nellie Olms, as “The Watch Wizards," and the usual house at- tractions, will wind up one of the most varied and popular bills of the current summer. = GARRICK—"The Hottentot.” William Colller and Victor Mape's delightful comedy, “The Hottentot.” will be the offering of the Garrick Players, beginning with the perform- ance tonight. “The Hottento™ sparkles with lines that are irresistibly droil, while it unfolds a love story of the most en- grossing nature, with the laughs well distributed to the final curtain. It tells of a southern belle who is fond of horse racing and confuses an at- tractive male to whom she is intro- duced with an equine star of the turf. William Harrigan will be seen in the role which William Collier played for three seasons, and it provides the widest opportunity to test his talents as a light comedian as im- pdrtant is the role of the butler, which will be portrayed by Gerald Oliver Smith, a prime favorite with Garrick playgoers, and a master of farce, dia- logue and situations.

BY DONALD H. CLARKE. OMEN who besiege motion pleture companies looking for an opportunlty to win fame before the camera in- sist upon overlooking a fundamentai fact—that is. a twenty-fifth birthday are concerned A woman of thirty may be ex- tremely beautiful. She may have poise, personality and intelligence. But the halo of youth is not hers, and that is necessary. Love aTYairs of youth predominate on the screen, as they do on the stage and in fiction. Heroines of them must be s youns as the parts call or. This doesn’t mean, of course, that women older than twenty-five have no chance before the camera. Such a stdtement would be ridiculous. It dces mean. however, that there is only one chance out of 1.000 or 5o that a neophyte who is past that age will ever be able to do anything worth while in the silent drama. Here is the point: Motion picture companies, in the ordinary routine, cast their productions from up-to- date catalogues of known actors and actresses. Robert B. Mclntyre, cast- ing director for Goldwyn, for stance, knows personally or by screen views most, if not all, of the proved dramatic talent in the United States. That is equally true of other casting directors. When Mr. McIntyre is casting a production he first visualizes different actors and actors in the different roles. Some of them, perhaps, are drawn from the stock company of his own studlo. Others are taken from among the great reservoir of free- lance talent which lives and works near the studio. In special instances the desired plaver is taken to the coast from New York or Chicago or i i HAT is the ‘*Chauve- Souris’ asks a reader who has seen many al- lusions to a form of en- tertainment in New York that has caught the fancy of lovers of art in i that city. Oliver M. Sayler, in the June | number of the Century Magazine, an- swers the question fully in an inter- esting article from which a few ex- cepts may be made to include the na- ture of the entertainment. It is the theater of “Let's Pretend.” Says Mr. “ “The theater of Let's Pretent! is simply ohe in which the audience takes part—an eager and active part. | 1t is an anclent axiom of the thater that no play is a play until it is acted before an audience. But this theater we are considering requires some- thing more than mere passive at- tendance. It requires something more even than sympathetic and tolerant observation. It demands participation, co-operation, mutual creation on the part of both spectator and performer, a natural, instinctive blending of the functions’ of entertainer and enter- tained, with the former in the role of pacemaker. - Mr. Sayler continues: “With the droll countenance of the born clown and the mock dignity of the clown as artist, Nikita Balieff promptly ban- ishes from the playhouse illusion, cold reserve and all the other bodyguards of the traditional theater. in their place he puts warmth, cordiality, zest, alert expectancy and the spirit of play. The orchestra has finished the overture. There is no darkening of the auditorium, no sound of bell or gong to put the creative faculty of the spectator to sleep. Instead, the house lights are left burning. There is a moment of tiptoe silence. Cau- tiously, the pudgy form of the proprie- tor of the'Chauve-Souris’ slips through the curtains. Lelsurely. silently, with a complacence that commands the same expectant silence on the part of his guests, he surveys them, from the bald-headed Tow to the highest god in the gallery. When the chuc- kles have died away until a rustling program can be hcard all over the house, when he has every one in the theater agog with eager attention, he speaks: - “‘Good evening, leddies and gen- tlemen.

And in skel ton it is just that. In two respec though, the ‘Chauve-Souris' differs widely from the ordinary, or even the extraordinary, variety Progr that the classification is misleading. For one thing, cach of the numbers is so freshly conceived, so expertly and deftly worked out. and o shrewdly combined with the rest into an unobtrusively effective ensemble, that the Tesult would amount to an original form of theatric art, even if there were no other distinguishing feature, But there is another dis- tinguishing feature, the fundamental feature of the ‘Chauve-Souris, far more important than its sheer tech- nical excellence.

The crowd must assist in the honorable treatment of a great game and boycott the sensational and the charlatan by demanding that we all play theater. When that concerted moment comes thd theater will have become as thoroughly established as a national pastime as base ball, and really indecent plays will be impos< sible.” | &a ] —_— Herman Timberg has been engai to write the production, in which ‘Watson sisters will be featured owv: the Shubert vandeville circuit.
