Jean eventually comes to Paris and, of course, they meet, but Marie had stepped from the poor vil- lage mald to the sophisticated mis- tress of Plerre Reval, “the richest bachelor i - Paris." The p. Juction for the most part is staged ‘in luxury and the handsome Marie appears in a number of beauti- ful gowns. The play is consistent and moves on to a logical conclusion. A fine cast has been assembled, and, taken altogether, the reaction to the picture is one of satisfaction. A clever bit of trick photography with 4 Ford as an excuse furnishes amusement as an extra, and the news review is accompanied by a special series of pictures in observance of Armistice day. Scenes from some: of Americg’s beauty spots and a good musical score complete the program. METROPOLITAN—“Why Worry?” ’ The Metropolitan Theater this week presents two pictures either of which is a distinctly entertaining feature. They are “Why Worry,” one of the | funniest pictures in which Harold Lloyd has yet appeared, and scenes of animal life in the frozen north that are little short of remarkable. Harold Lloyd is seen this time as a hypochondriac who seeks reliet from ills by repalring to a supposedly quiet Latin American republic, where sleep 18 reported to be the favorite outdoor sport. _With him goes his nurse, Jobyna Ralston, who is'a real sufferer from a heart attack, due entirely to { Harold's fascination for her.e Fortunately one of those semi- annual Latin American revolutions breaks the day Harold lands, and his nurse is made prisoner by a rene- gade American general. Then Harold uddenly discovers that he really is a man. No effort is made to make {ihe plcture sensible, but it is dellght- fully “amusing, causing just one scream of laughter after another. |, “Capt.’ Kleinsehmidt's Adventures in the Far North,” the other feature ut- traction, shows some of the most wonderful close-up views of wild animals in their real habitats that have ever been seen in Washington. The scenic effects are beautiful be yond deseription.

The seriousness of the sub- ject is stressed until it seems as though the entertainment value of the picture were rather neglected. In other words, the story is told in the subtitles rather than by the action. o Mary_Aldén, “the mother of the screen,” as ehe has beenm called, is the noble 4nd much-suffering heroine, and b Huntley Gordon is the erring hus- band. The flapper daughter and wild young son are also well played. Tt is the usual story -of a~ self-sacrificing mother used to high, - gld-fashioned fdeals, who is neglected by her familv when thelr wealth makes them “pleas- ure mad.” Of course, the inevitable crisis arises where she steps. back into the leading place in her_family's life and the tale ends happily. of both her son and her new daugh- ter is the crux of a play well actgd and true in its characterization.
