< MABRTHA HEDMAN Keiths WILLARD LOVIS, News andComment By W. H. Landvoigt. NLIKE the remainder of the country, Washington seems prepared to settle down to a pleasant summer, alternating between comic opera and romantic comedy. 1f politics should perturb the sweet- ness of its dream, it will be simply as a side 1ssue, for, having been soundly spanked by the Republican and the Democratic conventions for its aspirations, the National Capital is now prepared to assume the virtue of patient humility and enjoy itself while “letting George do it” in the politi- cal field. And why shouldn’t it? If opera or play, for any unforeseen rea- son, should fail it, has it not a galaxy of the finest moving picture theaters in the country, with all that the screen has to offer in the way of late en- tertainment, to amuse it? True, the heat of the dog days may ruffle tem- pers and perhaps temporarily sour dispositions, but all will disappear in the “early Fall,” which the weather prophets are predicting, if not in the quiet contemplation of the relative importance of things that sometimes cause worry and temper instead of being dismissed with a smile and forgetful- ness. Surveying the entire field with a calm and unemotional gaze, we find that there is no cause for worry and every reason why everybody should be happy. * k k¥ 'HOMAS W. GILMER, one of Washington’s wide-awake citizens, and, incidentally, one of its warmest picture fans, supplies the informa- tion that Mary Fuller, “better known than Mary Pickford in 1913,” and who is also classed as “the first motion picture actress to be rated as a star,” is now living with her mother, Mrs. Nora M. Fuller, within a stone’s throw of what the old-timers call Georgetown. Mr. Gilmer says Miss Fuller was the star of “the first and best serial- ever produced—What Happened to Mary'—that was made in New York and England in 1913 Miss Fuller was born in Washington, and is the daughter of the late Miles Fuller, who was well known in realtor circles. She made her first ap- pearance with Vitagraph when she was “sweet sixteen,” went to Edison in 1909, then to Universal in 1914 at a salary of $500 a week, a big one in those days, and she retired from the screen in 1917. She last played op- posite Lou Tellegen, and, Mr. Gilmer states, “never went with the jazz crowd.” All of which should prove interesting, as it is more than prob- able that Mary Fuller will return to the screen, although particulars are for the time being withheld. “Her height is 5 feet 3 inches, her weight 118 and she has big brown cyes,” adds Mr. Gilmer. * ok kK WAIVING all argument as to which is the better place for picture man- ufacture, Universal of California is to link itself with New York by means of the airplane in order to overcome many difficulties which have been experienced in its manufacture of moving pictures. For instance, when one of its important players has appeared in a picture that is being prepared for the screen, but now is playing a part in a play in a New York theater, final proofs of the picture are dispatched by airplane to the metropolis. The trip has been made by our gallant military flyers in 48 hours. “What man has done, man can do again,” the American motto, tells the remainder of the story. * % ¥ % APAN was not spiteful in imposing import duties on cameras and films which come chiefly from America. It is explained in a later report that the Japanese luxury tax will not be imposed on motion picture films. The tax measure, however, had not become a law when the in- formation was received at the office of Will H. Hays. 2 PEE R TT doesn’t sound like news, the report that Bebe Daniels has started “her first picture as a star” for Paramount in “Dangerous Money,” and that Richard Dix will be the star of “Manhattan.” Bebe has long been ac- cepted as one of the bright particular “stars” of the movie firmament, while Dix is certainly a bright satellite, if not a veritable comet, indeed. * ¥ ¥ % ICHARD TALMADGE, athletic screen star, who has been credited with doubling for Douglas Fairbanks in dangerous feats, is to have a “unit” all his own, with James Horne as director, and Marc Fenton, Lee Shumway, Helen Lynch, Arthur Melette, William Turner, Pat Har- mon and George Warde as “accessories,” and with “American Manners” as his first ilm play. * * ¥ % WHATEVER she may do—and no one has been told to publish it—Dar mar Godowsky is not going to the Pacific Coast to appear in a n picture. The report that she is has been specifically denied, thus set- tling an important doubt. 5 ¥ %k k% 'OMAN is asserting herself, even in the movies. This is indicated in an inquiry addressed to this department during the week. “Why is it, in group pictures of photoplay stars, the men are always made to ap- pear so manly and intelligent and the women, just as intelligent, are made to appear simply as pretty things?” We give it up. Maybe the men have the longest pull. * % % X DVANCE “stills” show that Blanche Sweet and Conrad Nagel did some wonderfully fine “silent acting” in the Metro-Goldwyn picture, “Tess of the D'Urbervilles.” * % %k X HE Motion Picture Directors’ Association has selected its first three pictures for production and ultimate States’ rights distribution through Grand-Asher. They are: “The Girl I Left Behind Me,” starring Agnes Ayres; “East of Suez,” starring Pauline Frederick, and “The Texas Steer,” Hoyt's famous old play, in which either Viola Dana or May McAvoy will be the star. * X ¥ % FXFTY-ONE sets are being made for Norma Talmadge's next picture, “Conflicting Passions.” * ¥ k k THE title of James Cruze's picture, heretofore known as “The Cafe of the Fallen Angels,” has been changed to “A Drama of the Night.” “Limehouse Polly” also has been changed to “Off the Highway.” * ¥ % X FAMOUS PLAYERS is to make “Madame Sans Gene” in Europe, with Gloria Swanson in the famous title role. Indeed, it is said Famous Players is to make pictures in all the principal capitals of Europe, | ' 2 e The Sundy Stad® WASHINGTON, D. C. Rialto Cendtral In the Spotlight.

It will be seen in New York during the new season.

Opens Thanksgiving Day. THE new Cosmopolitan Theater, nearing completion at Thirteenth and E streets northwest, will defi- nitely open Thanksgiving day. As- surances have been given A. Jullan Brylawski, who, with his father, is building this latest addition to the theaters of Washington, by the con- tractors that all will be in readiness prior to that date. The Brylawskis have been known to Washington theatergoers for many years through their former theater, the Cosmos, always popular, the\ suc- cess of which has made this new home for their attractions possible. A 20-year booking franchise with the B. F. Keith circuit assures a con- sistent standard of vaudeville acts, which, when coupled with a weekly change of feature films, should pre- sent much that will appeal to Wash- ington vaudeville patrons.

KEITH'S—Martha Hedman-Nan opens tomorrow afternoon. TIVOLI—“Tivoli Favorite's Week.” Belasco—"Smilin’ Through.” Thomas W. Fowler announces “Smilin’ Through,” by Allen Langdon Martin, by the Belasco Theater Players this week, commencing to- morrow night. Jane Cowl starred in the play when it was first presented on Broadway, and it was one of the most popular plays of its time in New York, Chicago and San Francisco. A crusty old bachelor uncle and his beautiful niece and ward are the principal characters. The girl falls in love with the son of the old man's rival in by-gone days. The uncle demands that his niece give up her lover. Then war comes, with separation and heartache for the lovers, but through it all their love lives and grows, even as the old man's love of his youth has endured throughout the years. How the old man comes to a realization of his un- Jjust attitude and learns a lesson that turns his bitterness into tenderness makes an appealing story. Everett Butterfield, stage manager and director of the players, promises a fine production. Lotus Robb will bo seen as the high-tempered girl, Lynn Pratt as the old uncle, whose devotion endures for fifty years; Don- ald Galleher as the young lover, and Elizabeth Patterson’ in a delightful character delineation. | Tivoli—"Tivoli Favorites’ Week."” “Tivoli Favorites' Week” will be celebrated this week, beginning this afternoon, at Crandall's new Tivoli Theater, where, on a single bill, will appear those who have scored pro- nounced personal triumphs on the stage of the theater since its formal dedication. Following the aqrgan concert by Arthur Flagel and the Tivoli orchestra’s _overture of selections from “The Little Modiste,” composed by Bailey F. Alart, will be shown the Tivol's “Mirror of the Living World,” picturing the principal world events of the week, and the presenta- tion of “Favorites’ Week,” with spe- cial, staging and_lighting effects by S. 'Barret McCormick, embracing offerings by the following artists: Eileen Van Biene, prima donna of “Maytime,” in_a cycle of songs adapted tosthe full range and beauty of her soprano voice; Roy Cropper, late tenor of the Ziegfeld “Follies,’ in new _selections: Charles E. Galagher, basso, formerly with the Scottl, San Carlo and Chicago Grand Opera Companies; the Ossmans, banjo- ists and recording artists; Elias Breeskin, noted concert violinist, lately with the Minneapolis Symphony, and Dolores Farris, dancer of “Hitchy-Koo” and other revues, with a terpsichorean touch. Two_photoplays will round out the bill. Hal Roach's unique_ production of “The King of Wild Horses” in Which the title role is played by a newcomer, Rex, a glossy black steel, with_human roles by Edna Murphy and Pat Hartigan; and Lloxd Hamil- fon, in “Going East” one of the droilest of comedies for the comedian Who scored so decisively as Breezy in “A Self-made Failure.” ———————————— . one of the most essential of all at- tributes will be attained—perfect acoustics. The interior of the theater is modeled just as an egg is shaped, with the end cpt off for the place- ment of the stage. This gives an equal rebound for the sound waves which, coming from the stage, strike all points of the theater at the same moment without interference. This feature is said to be unlike any other theater, not only in Wash- ington, but the entire country. The famous opera house in Bayreuth, Bavaria, which is now housing the revival of the Wagnerian festival, is bullt .along just such lines, and has been pronounced to be the most per- fect building in the worid from the standpoint of’ acuostica, —"“The Chocolate Soldier,” “Pirates of Penzance” SUNDAY MORNING, JULY 27, 1924.

The “Chocolate Soldier” is based on George Bernard Shaw's brilliant satirical comedy, “Arms ¢and the Man,” which was played by Richard Mansfield.

The opera calls for an unusually brilliant production, and this it is promised, will be given it. Considerable _interest is _being shown in the production, as DeWolf Hopper has never appeared in the opera and has never seen a perform- ance of it When the part and lyrics were handed to him, he gave one long lingering look and replied in that pe- culiar manner of his, “Gee whiz, some baby, but I'll get away with it. Alas, there'll be no ball games for me for the next ten days.” Keith's—Martha Hedman— Nan Halperin. A brightly shining star of the legi- timate stage and a foremost favorite in vaudeville will headline the bill at B. F. Keith's Theater tomorrow after- noon. Martha Hedman, the noted actress, appears with her company in “You Can’t Beat Them,” a comedy in one act, that brings her back to the sthge after an absence following her suc- cess in “The Boomerang.” Nan Halperin, chic and captivating, returns with new songs. She is one of vaudeville's most delightful young women. Charles Purcell, tenor of note, who played the masculine lead in “May- time,” is a special featured attrac- tion. Other attractions will include a re- vival of “Change Your Act or Back to the Woods,” a comedy classic, by Victor Moore, Emma Littlefield and Company, outlining backstage life; Eddie Nelson, “The Sunkist Come- dian,” in a skit dealing with New York's traffic jams; Babb, Carréll and Syrell, in “A Medley of Steps,” com- bining technique, grace and harmony: Madelon, Bob and Paula Miller, still in their teens, and in “Assorted Har- monies,” and Van Horn and Inez in new and sensational feats, including “Sixty Turns a Minute,” with the usual screen feature. Ram's Head Outlook. AMES REYNOLDS, art director of the Ram's Head Players, it is an- nounced, is abroad making a study of data for next season’s productions, not only for the Ram's Head Players of Washington, but also for the Greenwich Village Follies and for two new plays to be produced in New York early in the season. While in Paris in early May he gave a series of lectures on “Stage Design” at the American School of Design, al making special studies in the famous Musee de la_Guerre. in the Invalides, for the Washington production of RBostand's “L'Aiglon” by tht¢ Ram’'s Head Players. In London Mr. Reynolds saw Cos- greve's “The Way o fthe World,” said to be the most brilllant satire in the English language, which is also a possibility of the Ram’s Head season. Should “The Way of the World” not be avallable, it is sald to be highly probable the new “Lady of Belmont,” hly\SL John Ervine, will be the selec- tion. Reynolds has recently completed an Irish play called “Saint's Hill,” which he describes as the “temperamental journey of a woman" and which is to be produced during the coming sea- son by the Ram's Head Players, BLANCHE SWEET Lincoln.
