The Benson Orchestra of shares honors with Carl production, “Fools' Highw Rialto Theater this week. Beginning with “Linger a While,” the group played some newer and less distinctive melodies with the usual tricks of jazz syncopators. Their pro- gram included ~ “Double, Doo, Doo,” “Tea for Two,” “Those Sobbin’ Blues,” and several others. “Fools' Highway™ is a melodrama of the Bowery in the “nineties,” when toughs were tougher, apparently, than ever before or since. It is said to be a screen version of Owen Kildare's true life story. Mr. Kildare, it scems, was a terrible tough, but because of the love of a little Irish girl, he eventually was regenerated and became a famous novelist. In the picture, a high po- fon on the police force is substi- tuted for that of an author as evi- dently a more glorious end to the life of a tough. y_rate Pat O'Malley is con- as the tough guy hero and hts frequently and convincingly, while Mary Philbin tries hard to make Mamie Rose a pathetic, appeal- ing heroine. The magic of her char- acterization in “Merry-Go-Round” is absent. The old Jewish tailor is the one real character in the production. A set utilizing an entrance of the New York “L" of the period is given a great deal of space. The steam en- gines for the elevated and an automo- bile of early vintage also are shown frequently to arouse mirth.

Marriage Geenc Ambassador— ‘Tarnish.” “Tarnish,” the First National pro- duction of Gilbert Emery’s play, is the dramatic feature at the Ambassador Theater through tomorrow. The pic- ture is reviewed in ccnnection with the Metropolitan Theater. Larry Semon offers amusing comedy in his newest production, “Her Bov Friend,” and the usual short reel features complete the bill Columbia—"Monsieur Beaucaire.” It is something of the unusual for a photoplay to develop a drawing power that demands its continaance in Washington beyond the seccond week of exhibition, and yet “Mon- sieur Beaucaire,” with Rudolph Val- entino as its star, entered upon its third week at Loew's Columbia Th ter yesterday, with its drawing power unabated and with very large and ap- parently well satisfied audience! Opinions may differ as to plays’and photoplays, but from the exhibitor's standpoint the box office provides the most convincing criticism as to whether a play photoplay is Zood or bad. ‘“Monsieur Beaucaire” is nobly standing this test. There is no doubt that those who xee it will enjoy it, unless they permit the temp- tation to close criticism to prevent it.
