OPENING ATTRACTIONS IN WASHINGTON THEATERS KEITH'S—Lenore Ulric. ogram of entertaining qualities | 3 hAu;:;':;"I’l])is week at Keith's, the |Spite this, the picture is good, due | dramatic star, Lenore Ulric, occupy- ing the headline position in "he Wolf’s Cub,” written by Willard Mack, which gives her ample oppor- | tunities to exploit bursts by an untutored child of the | big open spaces. Mr. Mack ! 10 have guessed exactly what vaude-| ville patrons t of Miss Ulric. | has picked a little scene from one of | € his finest plays, “Tiger Rose,” and served it up with excellent results. The &irl is on the eve of marriage to one | ® of the big boys of the woods, and the little nest egg he has saved has heen stolen from him. He wants to postpone the matrimonial journey, but Mimi emphatically says nay. | “You have $4; look, I have $35, and we'll hitch up and talk about money later on,” bursts out Mimi. And then | she lays a trap for the thief and catches him. The supporting com. | any of three is quite adequate, and | v curtain calls followed the A‘x—i( g climax. Though men are supposed to pre- | fer blondes, Marion Sunshine, the | musical comedy star, comes back a | pronounced brunette, having discard- | ed her wonderful golden tresses of | vesterday. But she puts so much | “pep” into her songs and dances (hfl(! her number goes over with a bang. The elongated Peter Larkin helps a little with comedy and dances. | John Johnson opens with a good | rflntm'_li(!n act, Foster, Fegan and| Cox sing taking songs, Kola, Sylvia | and Maria Raycelle present a fine | dancing and piano act, the first named | being an adept at Russian steps and | Miss Raycelle’s plano playing filling in_ nicely. Charley Harrison and Sylvia Dakin offer an original satire on grand opera that is well done, Fleurette Jeoffrie, (hg coloratura soprano, in excellen voice, with her wonderful high notes | and perfect enunciation, scores an outstanding hit and Mary Gautier's | wonderful pony, Boy, and well trained | canines complete a fine program, vi o usuz s : R al house attractions | EARLE—"The Passing Parade.” The Earle Theater this wee - £ents “The Passing Parade” akm‘l‘;t» *ful revue of dance, song and comedy. | In nine scenes, it has Walter Mc. Manus, Richard Knowles and Helen Moretti in the featured roles, and the 2 Sunbeam girls” make up the | chorus. McManus and Knowles are xood comedians, and had the audience laughing all the time they were on the stage. Helen Moretti has a pleas- ing voice and delights with a well se. lected group of songs, while the Broad- way Four contribute harmony and the Sunbeam girls some good dancing. “The revue is an elaborate affair with | pretty costumes and lighting effects. It occupies the major portion of the vaudeville program. Merrill and Elinore, on roller skates, perform difficult feats on the wheels, and Pietro, celebrated piano-accor- | dionist, almost stopped. the. show- with passionate . out.| Brian, the only wor | above the little ] and a pleasing love story seem to side- e plot and character acting.

The final comes when a dam high | town is about to | break. and Dix brings the sorely needed supplies through the storm, | {in a huge lumbering tractor. Added attractions include a Pathe | News-Reel, an overture by the orches d a domestic comedy. PALACE—“Service for Ladies"—Jan Garber Orchestra. Adolphe Menjou in “Service for | Ladies” is the chief screen attraction | at the Palace this week, while Jan Garber and his recording orchestra, and Dorothy Wilson Halbach in a song cycle, “Moon Magic,” with beau- | tiful settings, the stage features. The sauve Mr. Menjou approaches, it he does not quite attain, his best work in “Service for Ladi picture is just one meal after with the star playing the part of a headwaiter, part of the time incognito. The cast is well chosen and the sub- titles add to the finish of tho plot, which ends with an un that transforms the waiter v be a gentleman to something very ike a man. It is a diverting picture and con- tains snow scenes which are cooling to | zazo upon, although the theater's re- | frigeration system insures real com- fort. gee Jan Garber's orchestra upholds its reputation and presents several nov- | elties. Miss Halbach is a singer of | ability. = | The news reel flashes scenes of | Johnson day at Griffith Stadium. RIALTO—“A Lunatic at Large.” | Leon Errol, in a refreshingly origi- | nal comedy, which, despite its theme, | has its moments of logic, brings a hearty laugh to the Rialto Theater | this_week. While the comedy naturally departs from the straight and narrow path of stern reality in its most hilarious | moments, the directors _have merci- | (Continued on_Thirteenth Paj i FIRST MORTGAGE MONEY t 6% Interest L.
