Miss Brice | deserves all sorts of credit for giving us something new. In addition to nging several new songs in a fetch- ing manner, she shows cleverness in | winning additional applause for her |company through appeals to the au- dience. The encol were too nu- merous to mention. A noveity was introduced by displaying comic pic- tures to cover old song favorites, while the orchestra carried the air, Some expert dancing also is furnished |by the trap drummer and a colored boy. | The group of singers from the Me: can Grand Opera Company provide a | welcome treat to the audience, their efforts being rewarded with heart |applause. Rudolfo Hoyos, the bari ton, has an excellent voice; Carlos Mejia, the tenor, and Diana Milicua, the colorature soprano, also are quite pleasing. Their number is notable {chiefly for the singing of folk song: the harmony of the weird airs w Ining unstinted applause. | Van’' Horn and Inez open with a sensational kating act: Mercer Tem- {pleton, just in from leading *Pretty | Kitty Kelly,” sings several new songs |and” gives' an unusual acrobatic |dance, and Stuart Casey and Mildred | Warren offer their old sketch, “Phe Fog.” but it was good that it | won applause that shared honors with the topliners.

Harr: :Rose—he must be a brother of Jack made a_hit with songs sung inimita- bly, and Nella Arnaut and her broth- ers have a musical and dancing act that was well received. The hor attractions filled out the program. Oh, yes, there was another—George Jessel, the well known Hebrew come- dian. He was on the bill with two voung women in identically the same act he brought here on his former trip. { STRAND—Opens New Season. The Strand Theater yvesterday made its 1925-1926 introductory bow to an enthusiastic and capacity audience, which rewarded the offerings with laughter and applause. Heading the vaudeville acts is a pre- tentious music and dance number fea- turing Andree and Del Val in a fine exhibition of the Argentine tango and [ other dances, including the Apache dance. Some will recall having seen Andree and Del Val in Earl Carroll’ play, “The Rat,” last season. They bring their own music, the Argentine Orchestra, which serves ear-filling, rib- tickling entertainment and would be a good number by itself. Smith and Barker offer a clever bit by Paul Dickey, entitled “Crossroads,” with funny situations and witty lines. Lee Alton and Cecil Allen, two old favorites, were warmly received in their skit of funny songs and clever dancing; Jules Furst entertained with acrobatic balancing on wooden blocks, and popular song and dance numbers, billed as “Versatility,” were presented by Wedge, Van and Wedge to round out a good program. The photoplay pictures Alice Joyce, Kenneth Harlan and Walter Long in “White Man,” an adaptation of George Agnew Chamberlain’s maga- | zine story of an aristocratic English | zirl who flees in an aeroplane with an javiator she has never seen before wither than marry o man she does not love.

Tex., are making appearances four times dail Aside from the natural interest that these two girls, bound together at birth, arouse, they offer an act that kas real entertainment value and di: play talents that will compare favor- | ably with people of normal develop- ment. Their first number is a saxo phone duet, played with spirit and precision. This is followed by a vocal duet into which they inject excellent close harmony. They finish with a dance with partners in tandem style that is quite remarkable. The girls, who are now 16 years of age, are pretty, gentle and refined In de- meanor and, aside from this trick of Nature, which keeps them bound to- gether for life, seem quite like other happy, normal girls. The “barker” was the only part of the act that might. well have been left out. The photoplay attraction is “Night Life of New York," in which Rod La Roque and Dorothy Gish, the latter making her first appearance for sev- eral months, are the principal lumi- naries. It's all about a young butter and egg man from the West whose ch “‘pop.” recognizing the right that “vouth must be served,”. sends his son to-New York to sew his proverbial wild oats before scttling down to the business of lfe.

To this end a sort of professional charmer is engaged, un known, of course, to the boy, and to gether they take in exactly what the title of the picture intimates. Some- thing goes wrong with the plans, how ever.

COLUMBIA—"Beggar on Horseback.” | James Cruze's screen version of | “The on Horseback,” the! George S. Kaufman and Marc Con- nelly play. which Washington saw | at the Belasco Theater, ushered in the new photoplay on at Loew's Columbia yesterday It is a most unusual and fantastic | production, and marks the nearest | approach the movies have made to| the Follies and similar extravaganzas. | The slight thread of a story con- cerns a mu composer ~ whose | poverty forces him to waste his talents on jazz, and whese friends | persuade him to marry the daughter of a newly rich family in order to| obtain the lelsure to devote his at- | tention to better things. Such a marriage he narrowly escapes through a dream of novel proportions which comprises by far\the greater part of the film, and in itSell worthy of the highest praise for its clever- ness, its artistry and its comedy. Like all dreams, it is based on a reality, and all the idiosyncrasies of | familiar objects and people are ex- aggerated to the ridiculous degree. Edward Everett Horton is ideal as | the composer and Esther Ralston is | ympathetic as the fellow artist | whom he really loves. Gertrude Short | is amusing as the silly rich girl, and other excellent members in the cast' are Ethel Wales, James Mason, Theo- | dore Kosloff, Frederic Sullivan and Erwin Connelly. ! A pictorial review of the progress | of the first quarter of the twentieth | century is an added attraction, sup plemented with a Mack Sennett short comedy, an Aesop fable, the Inter- national news reel and a good musical score by the Columbia orchestra. Beggar METROPOLITAN—"The Marriage ‘Whirl.” Corinne Griffith the most of a rather unfortunate vehicle in| “The Marriage Whirl,” a First Nu- | tional offering, makes which had its Wash- | ington_premiele vesterday at Cran-| dall's Metropolitan Theater. Corinne! is as charming as ever, the entire cast | is good, but the story lacks a tangible meaning. | The plot centers around the love of two men for an old-fashioned girl in a modern setting. ()qe is a steady, old-fashioned young man: the other | a drunken ne‘er-do-well. Unfortun- ately for the girl, she chooses the| latter. The climax comes months later in Paris when the young wife, unwilling longer to lead the reckless life her profligate husband has planned for her, discovers her mis- take. In the meantime, however, the plot has broken the heart of Cor- rinne’s father and all but ruined the lives of two other persons—Corinne’s and her old sweetheart's—without demonstrating any reason for its ruthlessness. It is fortunate for First Nationul that it gave the ‘Continued on Ninetcentn Page.) SIGNING HIS MOVIE CONTRACT. Muro, a clever Belg has been signed-by a movie company.
