AMUSEM ENTS. 3 Favore& by (QNE of the many admirers of the, picture “If Winter Comes,” now | showing at the President Theater. is | the Rev. A. J. Torrey. an assistant | | pastor of the Church of the Epiphany | lof this city, who is largely engaged in community work. Mr. Torrey, Iatler viewing the picture at the President Theater, authorizes the fol- | lowing statement: | “If there were more pictures like that there would be less criticism of the movies and more to be said in commendation. And there would be,| %00, a very much larger attendance at the theaters of those who hereto- | fore have not been in the habit of | £oing to motion picture shows Mr. Torrey also stated that ha b lieves in attracting men to the church and has taken the method of exhibit- ing motion picture films to his parish- oners and their friends in his chapel or community house with a view of | keeping them interested in church | and community work. He is strong, he says. for sports of all kinds, and y for the movies— “if they come clean.” Recently in Ottawa, the Rev. E. B. | Wyllie, at the Erskine Church, de- livered a sermon, it is claimed, based on the picture “If Winter Com % and described the book as a story with a great moral as well as a pure character study. “Dixie™ THE epic of “Dixi 1 The romance of the old south | has been written and will be pic- turized by the same people who made {possible the picturization of the life land times of Abraham Lincoln.

Dr. Wyllie, in summing up the cen- tral ‘character of the story, that of the role played by Percy Marmont, said the author had created as Christ-like a character as could be conceived in modern life. Dr. Wyllie said the picture left a gripping impression which the book did_not leave. The personality of Mark Sabre's wife, known in the story as Mabel, he described as a rep- resentation of the “smug, respectabl twentieth century churchwoman, lacking in the spirit of love and sym pathy which was taught by Christ” Continuing, hz said that men “who are God-touched, like the character of Sabre in the hook, are the saviors of the world, and in them faith in humanity is vindicated.” Rev. S. G. Bland of the Broadw: Methadist Tabernacle, in Toronto. Canada, also preached a sermon some time ago on the character of Mark and drew important lessons from the character and incidents of the book “It s tianity. the heart of Chris- the minister, “and 1f before the man who could conc uch a thing as Mark Sabre did in foregoing his re- venge on the man who had wronged him and in burning the letter that would r his reputation from the suspicion that hung over to bow m. of him.” Be Filmed. thoritative picture play of the old south at its best The fragments of southern life and history as presented upon stage and screen should supply the quintessence of romance and enchantment.

He was led from his country and then ked to return to rid Spain of the many enemies which Infested her. After performing herolc service in many ways he was finally made King of Castille and after his death was nshrined in the land as the greatest of the great heroes of Spain. Tivoli Nearing Completion. RAPID progress is being made in the erection of Crandall's new Tivoll Theater, at 14th street and Park road northwest. The steel framing has been up for some time, but now the inside masonry has progressed to the point ! where the structure has taken definite shape and its immense size and the dizzy height of the back-stage flyloft and_gridiron can be easily grasped. When completed, it is claimed, the Tivoli will be one of the most mag- nificent buildings of its kind in the United States, with a total seating ca- pacity of 2500. It is to be conducted on a policy that has never been in operation in the Capital, it is said, and will be a thing quite apart from the usual “residential” house. unknown daughter of love story is unfolded.
