The usual news pictures round out an excellent amusement program, enhanced by the playing of the house orchestra PALACE—"Kid Boots.”" With two lines stretching half a block in each direction on F street before the box office of Loew's Pal- ace Theater yesterday, the doors were thrown open on one of the most enter- taining shows in Washington in many a day. With vorite, Bddie Cantor, Broadway fa- in his inimitable comedy, “Kid Boot the management offers the Colgate Collegians in their super-jazz program of music and dance, includ- ing an exhibition of the Charleston executed on stilts by one Robert Stick- ney, “the man higher up.” Those who inclined to feel that all possible ariations of the Charleston have been exhausted, will realize thelr crror when they see Robert. He, as well as Sammy Lewis, “The Dancing Maniac” with the Collegians, prob- ply are due for a short run off Broad- wiy. The eight jazz kings of the Collegians_interpret hilarious groups of popular numbers. Sonia Meroff, the “blues” singer with the troup, also is good. Eddie Cantor as Kid Boots, the tal- lor's helper, becomes involved in romance and intrigue, all because of two suits—clothes and divorce. His dventures lead him to an exclusive mmmer club, where he succeeds in aiding his pal, Tom Sterling, to outwit the lawyers hired by the latter’s wife to stop divorce proceedings. At the same time Kid Boots steals a match on his hated rival for the hand of a dainty demoiselle. Cantor is supported by an excellent cast, including Lawrence Gray, Billie Dove, Clara Bow and Malcolm Waite. Through the Ages” is the orchestral overture, being a musical illustration of the evolution of jazz from the Stone Age to the twentieth century. , The “community singing,” which precedes the regular program with an organ zccompaniment, is a popular innovation. News reel and a_cartoon comedy, “Chasing Rainbows,” round out the program. COLUMBIA—"“The Black Pirate.” “Typical” is the seven letter word which expresses the performance of Douglas Fairbanks in “The Black which opened to crowded houses yesterday at the Columbia Theater. The story is a page from the annals of history on the Spanish Main back in the seventeenth cen- tury. A galleon bearing a young nobleman and his father is captured and scuttled by pirates. All the captives are beaten, robbed, bound to a stake and their ship blown up. Only two escape from the wreckage, a young nobleman and his father, the younger swimming to shore with the mortally wounded elder. Death comes, and the son while performing the final rites, swears vengeance upon the thieves and murderers who infest the high seas. On discovery that the island on which he buried his father i1s the treasure ground of the pirates, he appears before the group and begs to be admitted to the crew. He is given a test, found not wanting in courage or dueling prowess, and is accepted. Imme- diately seting to work to beat the pirates at their own game, he seeks and easily gains the confidence of the crew. The capture, single- handed, of a large merchant ship wins such admiration that his com- rades seek to put him in command. One of the high lights of the story is the picture of Fairbanks boarding the merchant galleon, leaping, swing- ing, climbing to the top of the great mast and then sliding down the full- blown sails, riping each from top to bottom in the descent, thereby ren- dering the ship helpless. Dramatic and thrilling are inadequate to ex- press these new acrobatic feats which the agile “Doug” has to offer. A race for the soldlers, the rescue of a captive princess, the blowing up of a second ship, the arrival of the rescue squadron, which proves the final trick of the intrepid young nobleman in beating the pirates at their own game, are all calculated to fill to the brim the cup of adventure. The entire film is produced in color photography, which adds to the al- Yeady vivid tale. Supporting Mr. Fairbanks Is a large cast, including Billie Dove, Tempe Piggott, Donald Crisp, Sam de Grasse, Anders Ran- dolph and Charles Stephens. RIALTO—"“The Popular Sin. Monte Bell’s latest, “The Popular Sin." opening at the Rialto Saturday, played to crowded houses over the Week end. . With Florence Vidor and Greta Nissen in leading roles, and with capable directing, the picture is an admirable example of the more Sophisticated mood of the photoplay. The setting is Paris—the Parls of the Amerlean’s dreams, with its waxed whiskers and lavish house fur- nishings, wild-looking clothes, etc. The story is of little consequence. Florence Vidor plays the part of a dark Parisienne who marries a play- wright to get away from a none-too- good husband. When second hus- band falls in love with a light Paris- jenne, Greta, the dark Parisienne, per: forms her second divorce feat. The re-entrance of first husband provides the teans of smoothing things out and getting everybody happily remar- ried. Eisie Huber, “blues” singer from New York's brighter lights, provides the stage entertainment, With Rox Rommell, director of the Rialto Or- chestra, and a pair of nice young News reels and a comedy complete the attractive bill. WARDMAN PARK—"Chained.” At Wardman Park Theater this week the Washington Film Guild offers ““(hained,” another triumph for Jfa of Germany, who has glven us such masterpieces “The Last Laugh” and “Faust “Chained” will undoubtedly cause no little discussion as to its theme. However, all will concede jts beauty as a production. The photography and lighting effects are superb and as the story unfolds one beautiful scene affer another meets the eye. The leading character is Claude Zoret, known as the greatest painier of his day, who early in his career has taken under his personal tutelage a struggling young art student. Struck by the-beauty of the boy, the great artist uses him as the model for many of his finest works, and as time goes on he in his loneliness turns more and more to the youth for com- panionship and affection. All_goes well until the beautiful Princess Lucia calls on Zoret to arrange for the painting of her portrait. The two young people are thrown together, with the Inevitable result, and the great man is once more alone with his artistic triumphs. But in the end, as he is dying, he sends for the human interest, clean, fast and laugh lovers and, seeing them together, dies ;'mnmly, having “witnessed a great ove.” Benjamin Christiansen, who is di- recting now in this country, the role of the ar i standing.
