100‘ 1 AMUSEMENTS | best fun productions, andiis trouble on the ¥ BELASCO—"Lawful Larceny.” { "here was @ much smaller crowd the Belasco Theater last evening there is likely to be any other evening this week, if those who saw well Sherman in Samuel Shipman’s e-act play, “Lawful Larceny,” tell ‘wheir friends of its charm, and those who like a really govd play, well wlayed, do their duty. 1f Shipman has not introduced mnything new in the form of plot or theme, he has certainly given a novel treatment to his theme that clearly demonstrates that the under- World and its doings can be handled without offense to respectable people, and he has made of a trite story a succession of interesting and dra- matic surprises. And where Shipman leaves off, Lowell Sherman takes up the task, and, with the assistance of an excellent cast, provides an eve- ning of real dramatic pleasure. If this does not say so, it means that the performance of “Lawful Larceny at the Belasco last evening was the best that has been offered in that theater in a long while, and that “Lawful Larceny” {s one of the really worth while plays of a season made up largely of trash. Briefly, it is the story courageous young wife handled the temporary theft of her husband an his wealth during her absence, and meted out just punishment to a par- asite who conducted a quasi-respecs table club for gambling women and susceptible men. The crime of the Vampire woman was described by one learned in the law as “lawful larcen The of how a oung wife won the love and respoct of the vampire's flance and, ith his aid, succeeded in recovering, by sheer burglary, all that had been tuken from her husband. She then took the stand that proposed to Keep it, prison or no prison. because of the simple justice of it all. Save for a weak opening act, the play 1s a dramatic treat. and Mr. Sherman's ortrayal of a nonchalant, slippery Phatasier, Who confesses frankly to the wife that he has made his money by getting it away from women like the vampire, is as clever a bit of stage artistry as has been seen in ashington in a long time. Charming voung Margalo Gillmore is seen the wife. and her w ork, particularly, in the denunciation scene Of the last act, rises to the heights .1t is here. too, probably, that the best lines of the play are found.

The most has been made of every agportunily For dramatic_effect in “The Isle of Lost Ships,” Maurice Tourneur’s pho- to play based on Crittenden Marriott’, story, which was shown yesterday at the Metropolitan. i The steamship Tiburon, with a distinguished company—save for a man_convicted of wife murder—on ‘board, has Jjust sailed for orts. Dinner time on the first even- ng out finds the ship’s guests listen- ing to tales of shipwreck and expe- riences of old salts on the treacher- ous seas. The hope of all is that it will never be their lot to founder and -drift into the- Sargasso sea, where debris has piled upon debris and be- come entangled into a great mass of ‘wreckage floating upon a bed of kelp, he whole ing_become known as the Island of lLost Ships.” The Ti- bouron is caught in a gule, blown out of course and into collision with a derelict. _ Company and crew of the fated steamer take to small boats— all save the convicted man and his captor, who have reached deck after the last boat has been lowered. Re- signed to his fate, Frank Howard, the convicted man, ‘settles to meet it without flinching. Looking out on the turbulent sea, he discovers a womin struggling sgainst inevitable death In the deep. Ho leaps with a life line on a slim ohance of rescuing her and finally the two are pulled aboard the wreck- ed_ship by Detective Jackson, How- ard’s captor. Tiburen and derelict drift together to the dreaded “Isle of Lost Ships,” from which no human hag ever returned. Here the trio find & colony under a form of gov- ernment set up” by -Capt. Forbes, who rules by brute force. Dorothy Fairfax, daughter of a man of wealth ‘and rescued by Howard, im- mediately becomes the center of at- traction, and efforts .to force her marriage to the beastly captain re- sult in @ serles of stirring incidents that pile one upon another until escape in a submarine is attempted and a rescue is made when the U. S. -8, 318 looms into view. An_ excellent cast has been as- sembled for the produgtion, includ- ing Milton Sills. Anna_ Q. Nilsson. Frank Campeau, Bert Woodruff and others of ability. A Mermaid comedy, “Cold Chills” forelgn “Fwith Loulse Fazenda, is one of the | Louise’ the isual nmews films, which Include pictures of the Shrine festivities here last week, and music numbers complete the program. Music un- usually suited to the theme is ren- dered during the feature picture. RIALTO—“The Enemies of ‘Women.” Blasco Ibanez, Spanish author, who won the admiration of the American people with his “Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse” during the war, is the author of “The Enemles of Wom en,” the eleven-reel feature at Moore's Rialto Theater this week. Through- out this story the spectator is con- stantly reminded of its great prede- cessor, especlally in the manner in which eelfish individuals are broken on the wheel of war and regenerated. An unusually smug moral is tacked on. the end of this kaleldoscopie pic- turization of modern bacchanales. It s announced quite plainly in the beginning of the picture, possibly in fear that the audience may mnot get the meaning of the title otherwise, that the “enemies of women" are the libertines of the_earth. Then fs in- troduced_Prince Lublmoff, as degen- erate a Russian noble as’ Dostoevski or Turgenief ever penned in their fa. mous novels. Lionel Barrymore makes a physical hero and moral spendthrift of this character. He does not seem to win either sympathy or scorn from his audience. Similarly, the beautiful Alma Rubens rolls tragic eyes and wears Parisian gowns In the majority of the many reels, but without mak- ing a human befng out of the su- premely selfish Duchess de Lille. The audience which packed the theater to capacity last night and waited in patient herds in the lobby Iwas even so inconsiderate as to laugh jat the pair in their most emotional iscenes, In short, take a salad of the fifty seven varieties of wonderful Luro- {pean scenery available in snow scenes and feudal palaces of Russia,-supper- sumptuous Parisian homes, artistic villas on the Rlviera and the ever- fascinating Monte Carlo, mix con- stantly with elaborate J interiors and serve with S dressing and a number of discreetly scattered war scenes, including a really spectacular air battle with burning planes and sausage ballons, and you have the picture. The cha acters are lost In this scenin gor- geousness. They are like puppet dwarfs in an enchanted forest of gigantic dimenslons. An_odd expresslon was noticeable on the faces of the good-natured crowd pouring out of the theater at the close. They ‘leoked rather tired, even bewildered, as though they won- dered what in the world it was all about, anyway. The orchestra furnished excellent music throughout the performance. PALACE—“Sixty Cents an Hour.” The feature film at Loew’s Palace this week, “Sixty Cents an Hour.” jpresents its corpulent hero, Walter iers, as the soda-jerker of an an- tique drug store in a tiny California town. Th ebank is next door, and, more important yet, the .bank pres! dent’s daughter, principal “interest in_the institution, serves as_teller i thire, and often strolls into Walter's i province to partake of liquid refresh- ment dispensed by him. Of course, he falls in love with the village belle, and dreams of riches and matrimony, at the same time starting an economy campaign. “Every nickel must do the work of a dollar!” is his slogan, but seven-fifty week leaves little margin for sa: ing. even though he lives entirely on sodas and sleeps in the bank as watchman. However, after an in- tensive econcmy drive, Walter saves enough to hire a filvver for two hours 50 he can take his idol for a ride Autos rent for $1 an hour, but fil evrs cost only 60 cents, so he gayly fares forth in a five-passenger tour- ing, only to find his afternoon ruined by’ the chaperonage of the .entire {family. A sadder, but wiser, man, he | chooses a snappy little roadster the next time, blissfully unconsclous of the fact that the bank has been robbed and the loot placed in the hired vehicle. Instead of a quiet afternoon of driv- ing and love-making, the hero has a hectic time evading both the police and the robbers, and _eventually wrecks his rented car. His visions of riches and matrimony suddenly change to one of stone-pounding. with a ball and chain for ornaments, However, “all's well that ends well,” and Walter eventually captures the bandlts, gets the reward and realizes all his ambitions. He never enjoys soda, though, even when it comes from his own fountain and is served by his own uniformed employes. Two weeks' steady dlet was too much of a good thing! A Snub Pollard comedy and a news week! complete the film program, and the Palace orchestra, under the leadership of . Tom Gannon, plays sems from “Katinka.” COLUMBIA—“The Exciters.” Bebe Danlels, one of the screen’ prettiest girls, is seen at the Colu, bia Theater this week in “The Ex- citers,” the screen version, by Maurice Campbell, of Martin Brown's stage play, which was seen in Washington last winter. It Is a play filled with fast action that follows logically a well laid plot, with thrilling com- plications, involving a plucky flapper of the soclal set at Miami, Fla. Everybody likes detective stories, and when a pretty soclety girl mar- ries a burglar who has attempted to rob her father's house, just after the girl has been nearly killed in an airplane accident, the audience is at once prepared for one. In “The Ex- citers” this mood is encouraged with the rapid-fire evolution of the plot. The gorgeous scenery of Florida and views of homes of the wealthy, the well chosen “crook” types and Antonio Moreno, as the ardent lover and clever hero, help the charming Bebe to gallop through a - usual length feature picture in what seems unusually short time. The folks at the first showing of the feature ye terday afternoon got all “het up with excitement and showed unusual eagerness and attention. It would spoll the story to tell it in advance, but it ought to mean much to say that this picture is one of the best Miss Daniels has had for some time. __The Carter De Havens are pictured in a clever domestic comedy, that concerns the struggles of a young married couple to keep up appear- ances, in “Borrowed Trouble.” A “Roving Thomas,” short reel feature; the news reel and music complete the program. CENTRAL—“The Westbound Li ited.” At’ Crandall's Central Theater, the Johnson's screen version of Emille Johnson's romance of railroadin “The Westbound Limited,” s the at- traction, The cast inciudes Ralph Lewls, Johnny Harron, Ella Hall and Claire McDowell. The comedy is a new laughmaker in_ which Monte Banks does many ridiculous that can happen at “Six a.m.” The Kinograms and pipe organ music by W, E. Thompson complete the bill. ‘The Westbound Limited,” concerns Bill Buckley, an engineman, who loves his job and Who has passed to his son the ‘same passion for the ralls. The president of the line, a lifelong friend, despite his superior position is still “one of the boys” His private sec- retary, however, a renegade, vents his spleen upon’ both families, when Johnny Buckley engages the inte est of Esther Miller, the presiden daughter. With a criminal accom- plice he attempts to cause a head-on collision with Buckley’s train and an- other having President Miller and his wife on board. Johnny thwarts the plan by a wild cross-country dash on a horse. Unique effects add much to the realism of the picture, CRANDALL'S—“The Ne'er Well.” Thomas Meighan is pictured at Crandall's Theater the first three days of this week, in a screen version of Rex Beach’s’ novel, “The Ne'er Do Well,” which concerns Kirk Anthony, 2 man ‘who needed only.the inspira- Do first four days this week, Emory ' THE EVENING STAR, "WASHINGTON, T. ¢, MONDAY, JUNE 11, 1923. < No Camfo'rt | There is,sorrow on the sea, there shore; but it doesn’t comfort me to put up a bitter roar.

(Copyright). WALT MASON. tion of trust and the faith of his fel- lows to rise to the top. When Chi- quita, a belle of the tropics, saw in him the ideal of her girlish dreams and communicated something of that feeling to him, obstacles were swept aside, and it was not long until An- thony had risen from the humble po- sition of conductor on a local train to a position of executive authority. The photoplay was filmed in large part in the Panama Canal Zone, and its scenes are authentic and pictur- esque, but it is not one of Meighan's best pictures. As Chiquita, Lila Lee finds a part adapted to her brunette type. An Aesop fable, “The Mouse Catcher,” also is shown, with pipe organ accompaniment. POLI'S—“The Birth of a Nation.” What's the use of reviewing a picture Itke “The Birth of a Nation,” which is shown at Poll’s this week. The film has been mellowed with time to the status ®of a -glassic of the celluloid world. It took such a hold on the American people from its initial presentation that today the mere mention of its title is synonymous with “master- plece.” “The Birth of Nation” by D. W. Griffith, as all the world knows, is a picture portrayal of some of the most stirring days of American his- tory, and unlike many photopla: its disclosures, as the reels unwin: fully justify «the broad-scoped title and make the name of the picture an historical verity. The faithfulness with which its scenes are staged; the authenticity to detail so necessary in presenting & situation based on historical fact, as well as the careful and well-balanced interpretation of roles assumed by competent players,‘all blend into the smooth-running panorama of drama; but above all this, it is probable ‘that the aura, sometimes called the atmos- phere of the stage, which spreads it- Self over the forementioned combina- tion of qualities and coordinates them in a unified manner, ‘is responsible more than anything else for the suc- cess that has justly come to this clas- sic of American motion pictures. In it are discovered Wallace Reid and Mae Marsh, Henry Walthall and Miriam Cooper, ~Ralph Lewis and Spottiswoode Aitken, as well as doz- ens of others who, since the time when “The Birth of a Nation” was in the making, have risen to the heights of headliners in the film world.
