SO famous has Mack Sennett become as silent drama's foremost im- presario of the slapstick comedy and the bathing beauty that it is ex- tremely difficult when he produces a six-reel legitimate comedy-melodrama to convince the theater-going public that he isn't always fooling. It is | one of the axioms of the theater that a player who burlesques successfully must also be able to perform seri- ousy the straight part travestied. Weber and Fields were both actors of genuine merit and for that reason more than perhaps any other were also the greatest burlesque artists the American stage has produced. The list could be lengthened indefi- nitely. The fact affords a potent argument wherewith to rout those who think Mack Sennett never be- comes serious In Mis _productional j actlvities, for it permits one to identi- of an exceptional cast filmed in his Jatést full feature-length special pro- duction, “The Crossroads of New York.” 'to be given its Washington premiere today, after an overwhelm- ing New York and Los Angeles suc- cess. “The Crossroads of New York" may be identified as something distinctly iout of the usual Sennett manner by the presence in the cast of Noah Beery, Robert Cain, George O'Hara, i} Ethel Grey Terry and Herbert Stand- ing.

Two_co-stars will shine this week atop the Keith Theater bill, beginning tomorrow matince. They are the Princess Wahletka, the American In- dian psychie, recently returned from London, where her occult powers were considered remarkable. Even Sir Conan Doyle is said to have de- clared her ‘manifestations genuine. It is claimed the princess discounts the work of the other famous American mediums of the past three decad: At any rate Flo Ziegfeld, a seeking sensational features for in- terpolation in his New York offerings, Wahletka for his “Midnight and she drew immense audi- ences ‘of curious and inierested peo- ple. The other co-star will be the popu- lar siren of syncopation, hirley. with Oscar Adlc-'s Orchestra and Al Roth, the danceur, in “Songs of the Moment from Grand Opera to Jazz. Another attractive act will be Frank Kellam and Patricia O'Dare, in their favorite occ@pation, “Chasing the Blues,” an assemblage of all the sparkling elements of sorg. dance and nonsense. Then there's “Blackface Eddie Ross, who will bring his African harp, and between its grotesque notes and 'his jabber, it is predicted, the audience will ge kept in a constant laughter.

It brought over from France by one of the settlers of New York when that city yas known as New Amsterdarp, and has {been in possession of the family for generations. Recently the last of a long line died and the furniture was sold at auction.

And =o on through the list tradi- tion is shattered. Mary Pickford's Helping Hand. FEW stars have given as many pos- sessors of histrionic talent as {many opportunities to ascend to screen stardom as has Mary Pickford. | The late Harold Lockwood became a star overnight as a result of serving as Miss Pickford's leading man in the first filming of “Tess of the iIStorm Country” nine years ago, and | now in the elaborated new version of | this history-making picture Lloyd Hughes bids fair to emerge from the enacting of this same character a full-fledged star in his own right There I8 also a strong possibility of Gloria Hope, who is in this same cast, ‘achieving a like stellar purpose. She 1s playing the important part of Teola Graves opposite Mary's char- acterization of the heroine, Tessible Skinner, and it is said Miss Hope's apportunities for winning high honors are numerous. Both Mr. Hughes and Miss Hope have been featured play- ers In several successful photoplays in the last several months, and each is due for a rise to the top rung of the cinema ladder. Among the dozen'or more present- day luminaries of the silver sheet who owe their present exalted status to Macy Pickford more than any other single element is Wesley (Freckles) Barry, who got his first chance to show ~what he could do in “Daddy Long-Legs.” John Bowers earned his place in the front ranks as a result of the opportunity Miss Pickford gave him in “Hulda From Holland.” Mar- shall Neilan started the most impor- itent phase of his career as leading man for Miss Pickford in several of her earlier productions, and she rec- ognized his greatest ability to be in the directorial line. Therefore she i promoted him to the director's chair, Where he used successfully the mega- phone In the making of three of her pictures, and this gave him the pres- tige which has eventuated in his be- coming one’ of . the foremost pro- ducers. .

Fast and frequent train service from the terminal at 36th and M streets and a delightful ride througn the green fields and foethills of Vir- ginis add to the charm of a trip to Great Falls. Chevy Chase Lake. Lucky number dances are scheduled for Wednesday night out at Chevy Chase Lake. The prizes have not been announced. but, as past occa- sions of this sort can attest, they are bound to be novel and of generous proportions. The management claims that no amusement park in the city can offer finer facilities for dancing. The two pavilions have floors the like {of which is seldom to be had out- side the finest hotels and cafes. On the lower pavilion a Meyer Davis orchestra plays. _On the upper pa- vilion the Pete Maclas orchestra is the attraction. Chevy Chase Lake is the sort of place you can be.proud to show out-of-towners. Marshall Hall. A river trip brings Marshal Hall to the tront as one of the most popular amusement places about Washington. | Situated in a cool grove of trees on i the shady banks of the Potomac, this resort oimers many modern amuse- ments.

In the short time T have been in this country—and Jet me say that 1 hope to live here and work here for the rest of my life —1 have learned that one may ask and receive fair play. The first of these stories announced that I was the son of Italian peas- ants, and that I had come here In the steerage as a farmer who called himself an “agriculturist.” The truth is that' I was born in Castellaneta, Italy, and that my father was Dr. Giovanni Guglielmi, formerly a cap- tain in‘the Royal Italian Cavalry, and later a student of bacteriology. More- over, my father is well known in European scientific circles for his dis- coveries. I came to this country as a first-cabin passenger, and I was admitted as an agriculturist because that was my profession. 1 have a college diploma to prove the fact. Another story has it that I support- ed myself by dishwashing, cutting {hair and serving as an omnibus boy in Broadway restaurants. The truth is that for six months, during which time I spent almost all my savings, I could not find any sort f work. My first job was at Jericho, L. 1, where Cornelius Bliss, jr., en- gaged me to plan and supervise the laying out of an Italian garden. Un- fortunately, his wife returned from Europe and decided to turn the land into a golf course instead of a garden. Knowing nothing about golf courses, I lost my job. More months went by before 1 got another job, this t:me as a dancer. I assure you that the situation of a foreigner who has never done manual labor and who is.stranded in New York city is not pleasant. By the time 1 was nearing the end of the money I received from Mr. Bliss I would have been much relieved to | know that 1 was sure of a good. {steady job as a barber. If I had known how to do a good job of hair lcutting I would have asked for it, ‘but I did not know how to cut hair, nd 1 am afraid the patrons might have been enraged if T had tried it on them.

National picture Miss Hope Hampton is to be presented as Galahad's bride tn many-towered Camelot. Her new vehicle, “The Light in the Dark,” by William Dudley Pelley, is a modern drama with a thousand-foot cut-in of Arthurian romance. This part of the picture, having been completed In colors by the Eastman process, was privately shown by Jules E. Brula- tour in New York the other day. Al- though the new Eastman color proc- ess has been previously shown. the making of the Sir Galahad insert-is the first time that it has been used in the filming of & story. The most costly of all the color techniques—about a dollar a foot per individual print—it is belleved to Jus- that cost In the nicety of results and Is thus especially available for the high points of stories, scenes of gorgeous investiture, tac boldest im- agery and most cunning combinations of color harmopies—in brief, it should enable the artistic film di- rector to achieve many of the effects heretofore limited to the medium of paint, oil and canvas. 25 Years Ago in Movies. JNTERNATIONAL has contributed a unique addition to moving picture releases in a reel entitled “The Mir- ror”" It will be released by Uni- versal. Almost every newspaper h: a department devoted to “what hap- pened twenty-five years ago today or fifty years. The same idea is con- tained in this new International reel. | Great expense and world-wide re- search were necessary to collect from private libraries and from defunet moving picture companies every mov- ing picture of a historical nature which was in any condition to repro- duce. Unfortunately, many such events have not been preserved. Al- most every movie antique which was known to be in existence, howeve has been requisitioned for “The Mirror™' The first issue, which will be ref leased by Universal some time in the early fall, shows the inauguration of President McKinley on March 4, 1897, just a little over twenty-five years No automobiles were in th umes, clothing and uniforms would lead one to be- lieve that he was looking at a cos- tume play. Furthermore, the art of camera work had not been speeded up to its present efficiency, principal- Iy because the camera could not reg- ister properly its normal speed of one-sixteenth of a msecond. The in- jaugural procession moves along Pennsylvania avenue with the im- posing speed of a caterpillar. The guns in the parade might have serv- ed in the clvil war, but wouldn't have been worth the powder to blow them up in the world war. The ubiqui- tous close-up had not been invented. The cameraman “shot” McKinley mak- ing his speech at the instant he could see the whites of his eves. The contrast between the McKinley and the Harding inaugural of 1921, shown in the first issue of “The Mir- ror,” is positively ing. Twenty- five years had elapsed.
