The debat here of fhis piece will mark its first release for reper toire and it is sald a stanch royalty was paid by the Nationali Players' management for the early release. “Spring Cleaning” generates from the theme that a husband, even though he neglects his wife, is justified in taking_startling steps to rescue her from the morass into which question able companionship has led her. Re- fusing to listen to his pleadings, her refusal goads him to measures that will surely evoke discussion by those/ who see the performance. Frederick Lonsdale, who fashioned this novel departure from the trite, will be remembered bestgby Washing- ton audiences as the author of smart and witty “Aren't We Al in which Cyril Maude appeared here earlier in the season. There are 11 characters in the plece with, it is_said, well-nourished roles finor Watson, Leneta Lane and Edward Arnold. KEITH'S—James Barton.

The usual house complete the bill features will Earle—Maccabee Week. Earle, with its program of Keith popular-priced vaudeville and Stanley photoplays, is to honor the Maccabees during the coming week: This fraternal organization is to hold & convention here in July, with the membership heading for Washington from all points of the United States in automobiles, which will merge into one mighty earavan just prior to their arrival here. The Maccabee pro- gram at the Earle is to welcome the venguard. The headline attraction will be the Volga Boda Boys, an octet of Rus- sians, but recently one of the hits of Ed Wynn's “Grab Bag.” A featured offering is the Maccabeans, an orches- tra from the tent, with many enter- tainers recruited for just this week. Other offerings will include Zuhn and Dreis, two Washington boys; Marrone and L’Acosta, in a dancing sensation; Margie Coafe, “the Queen of Syncopation,” and Donahue and Morgan, in “The Long and Short of It.” The photoplay will present Priscilla Dean, in “The Crimson Runner,” a stirring story of romantic adventure, with Taylor Holmes heading the cast. The PALACE—“Are Parents People?” Betty Bronson, the 17-year-old star of “Peter Pan,” will be seen in her second starring Paramount produc- tion at Loew's Palage next week, with Adolphe Menjou and Florence Vidor, in “‘Are Parents People?” taken from a magazine story by Alice Duer Miller. It was adapted to the screen by Frances Agnew and directed by Mal- colm St. Clair, and the supporting cast Includes Lawrence Gray, the new Paramour®t_leading man; Andre de Beranger, Mary Beth Miiford, Emily Fitzroy and William Courtwright. The story reveals the troubles of a young boarding school girl over the marital incompatibility of her par- ents. When an assumed and entirely counterfeit “mash” on a movle actor by the girl fails to excite the parents she proceeds to not only compromise a voung doctor, but to worry her par- ents to the point where their own bickering becomes of minor impor- tance by comparison with the ‘“scan- dal” their daughter has created. Out of this affair comes a charming bit of love interest that adds to the appeal of the story. A new Our Gang comedy, “Big Town"; Pathe News, Topics and Gan- non’s musical numbers will complete the bill. MENTS METROPOLITAN. Siren | Barbara La Marr and Conway Tearle. will be seen at Crandall’s | Metropolitan Theater next week in | the leading roles of First National's screen adaptation of the play “Hail and Farewell,” by William Hurlburt, offer- ed on the screen under the title of | “The Heart of a Sfren.” Supporting |roles are played by Harry T.

The climax is sald to develop a novel twist that®brings the play to an un- expected denouement. | _Clever touches of comedy contri- buted by Clifton Webb and William Ricciardi relleve the tense passages of the play, which Is said to be gorgeous- ly staged and costumed. 'he Heart of a COLUMBIA—"Code of the West.” | Zane Grey has contributed another | story of the frontier to the screen in “Code of the West,” which opens next week at Loew’s Columbla, with Con- stance Bennett, Owen Moore and Mabel Ballin in the featured roles.

Ralph Graves, in reaking the Ice,” the International ews and other features will round | out the bill. | RIALTO—"I'll Show You the Town.” | _“I'll Show You the Town," starring |Reginald Denny, which comes to the Rialto Sunday, is a screen version of Elmer Davis' delightfully funny story of an obliging young college pro- fessor who volunteered to show three pretty women the sights of the town all at the same time and each on> separately, and the. general mix-up that followed.
