The pres ical, t and boisterous, is evidently in quest of | 1t r, seems to be centered on women rather than other beautiful t in nature. And because of this, the cautious and conservative, are disposed to be a bit suspicious. Not that they wish to challenge the pre-eminence of the beauty of woman, but be- | cause the entertainment producer seems to have his eyc solely directed | on that to the exclusion of all other beauty. ¥ X K Xk RE is, however, some hope in the announcement from the Famous- Lasky officials, because it couples clothes with the beautiful women | that are to be exploited in “The Dressmaker From Paris,” and all woman- | kind knows full well how beautiful Parisian clothes can be made. In this the screen has not lost its head apparently, like the stage, which has sought its ideal of beauty in the girl without the garments. If, however, | the present tendency of the screen, as'indicated by the world-wide search, yhould lead to an effort to outdo the stage along the lines indicated, some- bedy is going to rise up and denounce the stage for setting the screen a bad example just at the very time when the world is trying to purify the movies. It is also likely to lead to sharp exchanges of opinion by “the young, red-blooded” and the “more mature and less explosive” critics. * ok kK THE’SE are the days of prize contests and prize winners. Almost cvery- body who desires to profit by the demand for feminine beauty is offering a prize, more or less valuable, for the *“most popular” woman. One might suppose, in a vocation devoted to the theater, “speaking” as well as “silent,” that occasionally a prize might be offered for the “mo: nted” player. Apparently it is not “talent, but “beauty” that makes the box office happy. In the glorious array athered for Paramount purposes are to be found “sun-kissed” girls, E1:ur1'n:ess:s of the Orient,” “Griffith’s most beautiful discovery,” “Zieg- d’s Queen,” “Regal Red Head,” “Cinderella,” “Famous Model,” “Favorite aughter” and lots of other kinds of girls, but not one of them all is char- Bcterized as worthy of special attention because of her dramatic talents gnd accomplishments. Yet all are to appear in a dramatic entertainment. ¥ Kk ok k g OSE who patronize the moving picture as well as those devoted to the theater have unmistakably indicated in recent times that they pdmire and will generously patronize plays and ‘pictures whose outstand- ing merits are found alone in their dramatic excellence. “Husbands and Lovers,” a picture of the week not at all sensationally advertised, divided honors with “The Thicf of Bagdad,” according to reports, while “Smolder- ing Fires,” with the dramatic contribution of Pauline Frederick's talents, was not v i popular favor, and Pola Negri's his- trionic ab a screen version of a play that had already been hold its own as a box-office attraction. The beautiful girl we have always us. Why may we not have occasionally ’ bit of beautiful drama, both on the stage and the screen? * k¥ E world is growi better despite all the complaints of the day. Word comes from acr the sea that our late allies, the French, have struck an all with our late enen the Germans, to protect Europe against the inv. American movies.

Southworth, the popular novelist of a gencration ago, the great story- writer was thrilled. She wanted to put it into a novel. But she felt un- equal to doing it justice. In the in- tense glow of her interest, she sug- gested it to the poct, John Greenleaf Whittier. His response was Instant. He wrote his great poem. This was the first Barbara K'rietchie. Clyde Fitch, with the magic of his genius, transformed Barbara Freit- chie Into a play. To give greater dramatic interest and romance, he took the liberty of making Barbara & charming young girl, a role that was admirably played by Julia Marlowe. This was the second Barbara Friet- chie The marvelous possibilities of the play were scen for screen production. G historic_events, like the spec- 4 duel between the Merrimac and the Monitor at Hampton Roads, were blended into the picture. The heroine, Barbara Freltchie, {n the plc- ture is voung, charming, perverse, loving, gentle, stern, frank, reserved, timid, courageous, with a heart of gold—a bundle of contradictions and paradoxes, everything by turns and nothing for long. This creation is said to be wonderfully interpreted by Florence Vidor—the new and third Barbara Frietchie, i Barthelmess' New Picture.

Though she is well known behind the foot- lights, this season appearing in “The Red Falcoln,” and with Henry Miller, in “The Man in Evening Clothes.” Thus far no one has been selected for the second sequence, but Bessie Love has been signed for the vivid role of Teita, the half-caste South Sea girl, of the last episode.

Rialto—"Barbara Frietchie.” Picturing a story that never grows old, one that 1s rich in romance and dramatic values, “Barbara Frietch will be the feature this weck at the Rialto Theater. This romance of his- tory is said to strike a different note in photoplay “styles.” One might expect to seo deal of the Civil War in “Barbara Frietchie.” Such 1s not the case. The real emphasis is placed on the story of Barbara Frietchie herself and her love for Capt. Will Trumbull of the enemy forces, who meant more to her than North, South, family or life it- self. Florence Vidor has the titla role and is reported to give one of the best performances of her career. Edmund Lowe is credited with giving success to the role of her lover, and the strong supporting cast includes Emmett King, Joe Bennett and George Billings. Other offerings Include the latest Eddie Gordon comedy, “Crowning the Count”; a_vocal interlude, featuring Josephine Rochlitz and Sylvan Loseir; International News Events, and over- ture by the Rialto Orchestra, Bailey F. Alart, conductor. Metropolitan—"If I Marry A Again” and Waring's Penn- sylvanians. The film attraction this week at Crandall's Metropolitan Theater, be- ginning this afternoon at 3, will be First National's production of “If I Marry Again,” in which will be seen Doris Kenyon, Lloyd Hughes, Anna Q. Nilsson, Myrtle Stedman, Hobart Bosworth and Frank Mayo. An added feature will be Waring’s Pennsyl- vanians, the twelve syncopators who are playing a return engagement. A new issue of the Metropolitan World Survey and other short reels and mu- slc by the Metropolitan Orchestra, under Daniel Breeskin, will complets the bill. “If I Marry Agaln® is a drama of wifely devotion and paternal preju- dice. " A rich father whose family tra- dition is a fetich banishes his son to a jungle island as a form of punish- ment intended to compel him to aban- don his bride, of whom the father disapproves. The boy dies and the bride endeavors to win for her child the recognition due him. The production was directed by John Francis Dillon, who made “Tha Perfect Flapper” and “Painted Peo- ple.” and is said to be a strong story, deftly handled. Waring's Pennsylvanians will pre- sent the same personnel as upon thelr previous visits and will be heard in a group of new and popular American compositions. The instrumentalists, led by Fred Waring, will be heard to- day at 3:20, 5:25, 7:25 and 9:30 p.m. daily at 1:50, 3:00, 7:30 and 9:35 p.m. Doors will be opened this atterncon at 2 o'clock for those who wish to insure seats by early attendance. Palace—"Tomorrow's Love.” “Tomorrow’s Love” brings to Loew's Palace this afternoon for a week’s engagement Agnes Ayres, supported by Pat O'Malley, in a ro- mantic and humorous study of the married state in its first year. Based on Charles Brackett's maga- zine story, “Interlocutory,” its climax hinges upon the terms of an inter- locutory divorce decree which be- comes effective in separating a couple only In the event that the two remain apart for the spacé of one year and provided the wife does not remain under the husband's roof. Miss Ayres, in the role of the young wife, begins on the assumption that her husband is perfect, but soon dis- covers her error, and when he de- clines to explain some odd-looking adventures with a fair charmer she goes to court, where she is given an interlocutory degree of divorce to become effective in one |vear, pro- vided its terms are complied with. The wife then sails away to the Orient to forget, but when she learns that her ex-hubby preparing to marry the other girl she returns, de- termined to win him back. With only 24 hours to spare under the decree, desperate speed measures are neces- sary, but she succeeds, wins back his affection and remains under his roof, thereby invalidating the decree in the nick of time.

Shown this afternoon and Columbia—"The Thief of Bagdad.” Douglas Fairbanks, In his latest photoplay spectacle, “The Thief of Bagdad,” will remain at Loew's Co- lumbia for a second week, beginning this afternoon. “The Thief of Bagdad” constitutes a daring adventure on the part of its star into the realms of pure fan- tasy. It is the love story of a daring and audaclous thief of early Bagdad, who dared to aspire to the hand of an Orlental princess, and unfolds a pano- rama of wonders as the thief, his suit discouraged, learns that happin may etill be earned if one is brave enough and determined enough to win to manhood, symbolized by the magio chest of Nazir. From then on, Fairbanks, in the role of the thief, rides through the skies on a white winged horse, braves monsters, fights raging fires and even challenges the stars in his quest for the magio chest, which alone can win him happiness and the princess. In the end he finds it and returns just in time to outwlit the conspiracy of a rival suitor who would sack the city and carry off the princess, and reverses matters by sailing away with the princess as his own. on the magic carpet. Raoil Walsh directed the produc- tion, while Edward Knobloch, British playwright, assisted Mr. Fairbanks in preparing the story. Julanme Johnston as the princess, Anna May Wong as a treacherous Mongol slave and Snitz Edwards as the companion of the thief are a few of the excel- lent supporting cast. Mr. Leon Brusilof, conductor of the Columbia Orchestra, has arranged a delightful musical score to accom- pany the picture.
