It is all about incidents that might happen In any apartment house when a mother goes in for the udy of the psychol- ogy of will power, a_Texas ofl mil- onaire gets mixed up In the alleged theft of an actress’ diamonds, a Swed- jsh girl finds a bottle of Scotch and the “little lady friend” of an impres- sionable private detective occupying the apartment just across the hall I.\[“I‘n‘r!:lk(‘s to offer neighborly as- sistance.

Serv- ice, said to place Monte Carlo on the literary map with the same clarity as Alaska was depicted in his earlier writings. The cast includes Clara Bow, Kenneth Harlan, mond_Griffith, Josef Swickard, Bar- bara Tennant and Andre de Beranger. e Wine, Woman and Song™ Next week the Gayety will have as its last attraction for this sea- son “Wine, Woman and Song,” with special features planned for each night of the week. Monday night a chorus girl's contest will be held and every chorus girl in the city is eligible to enter and compete for prizes; Tuesday night there will be Carmel Myers, Ra; a perfect-figure contest; Wednesday night an auction sale, when the girls of the show will auction thelr cos tumes to the highest bidders; Thurs. day night. amateur contest, and every one can enter; Friday night, visiting stars night, to which visiting st in the eity are Invited, and Saturday. the last night of the se: , & bl jamboree, when members of the com: pany wiil switch parts, and big sur- prises for the audience are promised. “Wine, Woman and Song” Is new in every particular. Bert Bertrand is_featured as a Hebrew delineator, who by his original methods gets his laughs from lines and facial ex- preesions. Others include Nate Busby, blackface comedian; Kenneth Christy and Otto Johnson, who assist Ber- trand in_comedy work; Betty Bur- roughs, Viola Spaeth, soubrette, and Miss Ralston, with chorus of twenty talented girls. , The principal scenes are “The Graball Circus Lot,” “Aboard the NC Dirigible,” “The Island of Bohoo- laloo,” “Sing Toy's Far East," “Down Among the Tropics” and “My olda Southern Home.” "Dorothy Vegn of Haddon Hall.” The success reported at the Na- tional Theater with Mary Plckford’s latest and greatest picture, “Dorothy Vernon of Haddon Hall"” duplicates the successes reported in New York City, Boston and Los Angeles, where the praise from the press and patrons is_sald to be unanimous. In this charming adaptation of Charles Major's novel, Mary Pickford surpasses anything she has hereto- fore done upon the screen. She re- veals not only her ability as a horse- woman in a ride-for-life that excels any feat of equestrianism recorded in animated photography, but an ex- quisite artistry in her part that is attracting much attention to her as a real actress. The picture week. Associated with Miss Pickford in the cast are Clare Kames, Estelle Taylor, Lottie Pickford Forrest, Mme. Daumery, Allan Forrest, Wilfred Lucas, Marc MacDermott, Anders Randolf, Courtenay Foote and Colin Kenn i “Dorothy Vernon of Haddon Hall is shown at the National daily at 0 and every evening at 8:20. Tivoli—"The Hill Billy. Next week Crandall's new Tivoll Theater, 14th street and Park road northwest, will present a bill com- prised of stage, screen and musical features, especially engaged by S. Barret McCormick, who is in New York this week for the purpose of assembling the bill. The supplementary film features will consist of news, scenic and com- edy subjects—a short-reel comedy not yet having been presented at the Tivoli—and the major screen attrac- tion will be Jack Pickford's camera adaptation of John Fox, jr.’s, story of “The Hill Billy.” . The stage offerings will include musical and serlo-comic turns of a nature not heretofore presented as units of the Tivoli's programs. In “The Hill Billy," Jack Plckford assumes the role of a youth of the southern hill country, where culture is not an appreciable element of the social scheme of things, and is sup- ported by an excellent cast led by Lucille Ricksen. The narrative which is unfolded is strong in romance with numerous effective dramatic climaxes. The direction by George Hill is uni- formly skillful and the photography emphasizes the beauty of locations that are rich in natural pictorfal im- pressiveness. The program will be rounded out by the Tivoli Symphony, under the conductorship of Bailey F. Alart. will continue next Metropolitan—"The Enchanted Cottage" For the first time in many months a double-feature bill will be present- ed at Crandall's Metropolitan Theater next week, beginning Sunday gfter- noon at 3 o'clock. The chief attrac- tion will be First National's film ver- sion of Sir Arthur Wing Pinero's stage success, “The Enchanted Cot- tage,” starring Richard Barthelmess, supported by May McAvoy. The com- panion offering will be Larry Semon's sharply contrasted two-reel Vita- graph comedy, “Trouble Brewing." The customary abbreviated camera subjects will comprise the supple- mentary features of the program and Daniel Breeskin has compiled another concert overture number for the Met- ropolitan Symphony. In “The Enchanted Cottag thelmess has what is said to be one of the most impressive acting roles of his career and certainly Miss Mc- Avoy has seldom done a more ap- pealing bit of work than in the char- acter of Laura Pennington, "“ugl duckling.” The star is cast in the role of a crippled war casualty and Miss McAvoy as a kindly soul devold of any vestige of beauty. The two are married and live in a quaint lit- tle “honeymoon cottage.” The per- fect love that grows in the heart of each for the other metamorphoses them completely. “Trouble Brewing" is in the familiar Semon vein, packed with laughs and noteworthy for a succession of new devices for making screen buffoonery take on the glamour of novelty. Rialto—"True as Steel.” Rupert Hughes' story of modern life, with its problems, trials and temptations to the modern woman in business, in “True As Steel,” will be the feature at Moore's Rialto Theater next week, beginning Sun- day.

Hart, great western charactor actor, will be seen in his latest Paramount plcture, “Singer Jim McKee,” at Loew’s Palace Thea- ter next week, beginnnig Sunday afternoon.

Columbia—i’:h Negri in “Men." Pola Negri in her latest American production, “Men,” will be the feature next week at Loew's Columbia Theater. The story was especially eritten for her by Dimitri Bucho- Wil famous continental director, who was also brought to Americ especially to direct her in this picture. 1t was scenarized by Paul Bern. . The cast includes Robert W. Frazer, Robert Edeson, Josef Swick- ird, Monti Collins and Edgar Norton. Pola Negri in this production has the role of Cleo, a cafe waltress in Marseille, France, who has a tremen- dous ambition to dance. Brought to Paris by an acquaintance, the girl is drawn into_the clutches of “an clderly roue.

CARL BUSCH ORATORIO ON INDIAN THEME SUNG Musical Composition Based “Hiawatha,” Given Excel- lent Rendering. “The Four Winds,” the oratorio written by Carl Busch, American composer, on the theme of the second part of Longfellow's “Song of Hia- watha,” was presented by the Wash- ington Choral Society, assisted by the United States Marine Band Orchestra, under the direction of Charles Wen- gerd, at Central High School, last night. Gretchen Hood, soprano, and Ervine J. Stenson, tenor, were the guest soloists. Charles T. Ferry was at_the piano. Because of the trochaic rhythm of Longfellow's poem, one expects a similar emphatic rhythm to the mu- sical composition, but this is not so. European in style for the most part, it utilizes some of the devices familiar in Wagnerian compositions in their lighter moments. One part of the work is supremely typical of Ameri- can Indian music. In this section of the work, which includes the second tenor solo, a on chorus and soprano solo and exquisite duet, the keynote of the words seems to be kept and the spirit of the poem sustained with the coloring of the wind effects ,especially emphasized. The whole composition appears diffi- cult to sing. There is a minor strain, evidently meant to carry the wind idea, that seems liable to con- fiict with the clean-cut enunclation to carry the words, especially of the choruses, .to the audience. Mr. Wengerd has trained his chorus to sing with precision of attack and color of tone. Miss Hood was splen- did in her solos, giving the dramatic value of her words clearness and ling. Mr. Stenson sang with well nded tones and smooth technique. The orchestra gave the singers ex- cellent accompaniment and made the most of the several fine passages be- tween the vocal selections.

JUDGMENT DAY IS ' ' FAST HASTENING ON Evangelist Bernstein Gives Vivid Portrayal of Pun- ishment Which Awaits All Who Live Un- godly Lives. Are the Ten Command- ments Binding ? Tonight’s Subject ‘“Judgment awaits every creature. We are all under observation, a; not far distant work _will brought into judgment with every secret thing, whether 1t be good or Se spoke Evangelixt 0. 0. Bern- n, president of the New Jersey Conference of Seventh-day Adventixts, Church, 5th and night. He urged hix audience to give heed to the admonition of Solomon, who said, “Let us hear the conclu- nion of the whole matter: fear God, and keep hix commandments: for thix ix the whole duty of man. For God nhall bring every work into judg- ment, with every weeret ihing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil” Eeel, 12:13-14. “Ax we are to give an account af the deeds dome in thix bods, every intelligent person—every one of xood nenne—ought to heed the comnel to Fear God and keep hix command- ments! In the Impending Judgment of Jehovah there will he no rexpect of ‘personw. He shall judge the Tighteous and the wicked. (Kecl 3:17). As all are to be judged a cording to their works, the rixhteoux will receive the reward of life and the vicked their nixhment of’ eternal death. In earthly courts of Justice there nre two phases to the court'’s proceedingx, vizi Investizative and Executive judgment. The ease is tried first and according to the evi- dence fx dixposed of. So the heavenly tribunal the procedure fx exactly the same. Deseribing the final judjment beheld fn visdon by the Prophet Daniel, chapter 7:9-10, he nayn: “iI beheld till the thromes were caxt down (meats put in order or arranged). and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white ax snow, nnd the bair of his head Ifke the pure wool: his throne was like the flery flame, and his wheels as burning fire, A fery stream iswned and came forth from before him: thouscnd thousands ministered unto him and ten thouxand times ten thou. xand atood hefore him: the judgment wax set, and the books were opened. “The ' calling together of alk of heaven's angelle beingx in a gdeat namembly with God the Father pre- siding is similar to the procedure in ecarthly courts. The ‘udgment was net’ xayw the prophet, ‘and the beok were opemed.’ It ix apparent from thix langunge that the heavenly court over which Jehovah will preside will bexin its work by consulting record— ‘Books were opened'—virtually in- vestigating the caxes of those to he tried. “To thix agree the words of John in Revelation, chapter 20:1Z: “The dead were judged out of the thinax Which were written in the books, ac- cording to their works’ In this connection it is interesting to mete that the Scriptures teach that are fan's guardians (Heb., thuy doubtless keep the records of our words, thoughtx, and acts. From the langunge used by the prophets, we conclude there are varidus books of record kept. |V “For instance, of Rememberance. Malachi, 3:16, a reco good deeds nnd wa ‘that feared the Lord. “There in the book of sinx alluded to by the Prophet Jeremiah, 2:, which says our ‘iniquity is marked.

The Scriptures disclose the fact that the first_cases to pass in review before the heavenly tribumal will be those whose names are in the book of life. Judgment muxt begin with the House of God.' 1 Peter, 4:17. “Before Jesux’ ascenston into xlo | Fe left Hix dixciples thix promine: Zo to prepare a place for you. And it 1 zo and prepare a piace for vyou. I will come again, and receive you unto myself.’ John, 14:1-3. Thix promise cannot be fulfilled until judgment of the righteous has taken pince, and all the names in the beok of life disposed of as in the last chapter of the Bible. (Rev, 22:12). It -a distinctly stated that: ‘T come. and my reward Ix with me to give every man according to his work shall be. “The judgment of the righteons precedes the giving of their reward. It ix believed by many conselentious people that the heavenly tribunal is now In sesxion. From Bible prophecy we are certainly in the time of th end, and we are rapidly approach- Ll the day of Chrixt's second coming. All whoxe mex in the book of life are confexsed before the her and betore the anczels by Jesux Christ— the Medintor and the High Priext of the heavenly sanctuary (Heb,, S:1-4) will hace their names retained, (Rev ) and their sinx blotted out, |Acts, 3:10) and their reward fixed; while those who have failed in being over- comers will have their names blotted out of the book of life, and their sinv retained and will eventually share the fate of the wicked. “It is God’s plan that the maved of | earth xhould join the heavealy court in the judgment of the loxt. 1 Co 6. The event which makes thix po e isx the second coming of Rrist. .
