THE EVENING STAR, WAS AMUSEMENTS ' BELASCO—“The Bad Man.” Thanks to George Marshall, Wash- ington last night had its first glimpse of Porter Emerson Browne's “The Bad Man." billed as “the greatest of all American comedies,” and rated by those who ought to know as one of the best twelve dramatic offerings of the year. Save for a ght wavering in the memory of its lines, it wa: fairly well présented and thoroughly entertained a first-floor audience at the Shubert-Belasco. 1t is lurid melodrama, with lots of laughing and laughable interpolations by a crabbed, disgruntled old invalid, who sunk $10.000 in a losing ranch venture and seems disposed to take the world into his confidenc: There are two villains in the play one the personification of wicked benignity, the other a capitalist h band, with a malicious contempt a charming wife, who is happily laid low by the ot ,of the benign bandit. following a failure by his aid.

STRAND—“The Stars’ Hecord.” With a little bit of everything that goes to make un interesting vaude- Ville bill, followed by a photoplay with enough real qualities to please everybody, the Strand Theater opened the week with its new program last night. “The Stars' Record.” in which a cast of five offers impressions of people famous in the song world today, is the feature number. Such well known performers as Al Jolson, John McCor- mack, Galll Curci and Marion Harris were well portrayed, and “Mammy and “Caroline” songs viz with oper- atic selections in the offering. Lewis and Rogers, two Italian char- acter comedians, kept the large audi- ence in rare good spirits and were forced to r2spond with many encores.

It has a plot that holds the interest throughout and is well acted. Short film features complete the pro- gram. Photoplays. METROPOLITAN—Harold Lloyd, in “Safety Last.” Yesterday afternoon and evening old ladles moaned and shut their eyes, small boys squirmed upon the edges of thelr chairs in excited fascination, and a goodly number of grown folks emitted shrieks, now of luughter and now amazement, at Crindall's Metro- This role was quite new. Russ, Levan and Pete cut | politan Theater. The crowded house veritably rocked with laughter and applause of an absorbed audience that viewed Harold Lloyd's newest and longest comedy, “Safety Last.” There have been many thrilling pictures since the beginning of the motion picture industry; there have also been many funny pictures; but never before in the history of the industry, perhaps. has there been a picture ‘made that so successfully combined the highest degree of thrills and laughter and held those two ele- ments at a continuous pitch of tense interest for so long a perlod of time. This seven-reel comedy depends upon no slap-stick ideas for its fun and upon no fake tricks for its thrills. It is its very genuineness and spon- taneity that make it a veritable su- " Haron L arol oyd has_ been a recognized as one of the few rfi'l‘lcyr‘;}lr! tistic ‘comedians of the screen. He rarely employs exaggeration for his fun, but rather emphasizes the trivial mis- haps of life to secure that brand of humor that s successful because it is so human and familiar. 1In this latest picture Mr. Lloyd has the part of an ambitious small town boy who goes to the big city to seek his fortune. Un- like the Alger heroes, he does mot fall in love with the daughter of the mana- ger of the large department store where he gets a clerkship at the meager salary of $15 a week. His sweetheart is a modest small-town girl, who is anxi- ously and confidently awaiting his se- curing a big position, so that she may come on and marry him. Realizing her confidence, the “Boy" feels he must pretend to make good until he really can do so and denies himself everything In order to send the evidences ‘of his apparent suc- cess. She, however, interprets the gifts to mean that he is so prosperous that he may be in danger and may need her immediately, so she surprises him and unconsciously forces him to play the great American business game of bluff. As a result he is required to substitute r a “human fiy* and climb a twelve- story department store. In this predica- ment lie the greatest thrills and the funniest situations of the picture. The audience trembles in tightened suspense that grows at each floor which the hero successfully passes in his upward climb. The climax evoked a storm of applause. Mildred Davis Lloyd is sweet and conflding as the “Girl” and the other members of the cast are realistic and do not burlesque their parts. It is indeed the funniest and most thrilling comedy seen in Washington for a long, long time. The auxiliary features Include a news real, a clever animal comedy, “The Watchdog”; Lyman Howe's "Speed Demons™ and an international Interpretation of “Old Folks at Home" by the orchestra under N. Mirskey. RIALTO—"The Little Church Around the Corner.” The Warner brothers, producers of “Brass,” have equaled, if not surpassed, that film in their newest photoplay, “The Little Church Around the Corner,"” shown for the first time at the Rialto yesterday. 1t teaches a vital less ch a gripping manner that several people left the theater saying. “That was better than going to church.” The struggle of love and faith against greed and selfishness gives the keynote to the story, and some of the scenes are te and spellbinding than, the n in mo; Our Spring Suit Sale Is Drawing the Men 2-Pants Suits $2 7.50 Stanley Shop 1209 Pa Ave. N.W,, Bet. 12th and 13th Sts.

Pauline Starke in this role achieves a helght of acting that seems inspired, and the audience that packed the theater sat in breathless suspense as she tried to move her lips, clutch- ing her throat with one hand. nother gripping scene discloses a mife rescue party digging its way, inch by inch, through the caved-in debris that imprisons a handful of men. They pass the slabs of coal back from man to man, one at a time, and when, after an entire night of labor, they make a small opening *through to the gas-filled tunnel, they drag each senseless man through, passing him from one to the other in the same manner. At intervals the action shifts to the crowd of wives, mothers and children waiting at the threshold of the mine, despair written in their anxious faces.

Yes- terday's audience was reluctant to let him go even after he had respond ed with an encore, but lowered lights and the heginning of the film finally succeeded in halting the applause.
