METROPOLITAN—"Weary River.” Richard Barthelmess, First National star of “The Patent Leather Kid” and *“The Noose,” makes his appearance on | the screen this week at the Metropolitan ‘Theater in “Weary River,” a First Na- tional Vitaphone picture. “Weary River” has given Barthelmess an unusual role to play in an excep- tionally dramatic story of a man who | was framed, sent to prison, disillusioned, inspired and then finds himself in song and music, winning fame, fortune and love via the radio In the cast is Betty Compson and Frank Lloyd directed the picture. Others of the cast include George | Store, Louis Natheaux, Edward Da | Gladden James, Raymond Turner and | Robert O'Connor. PALACE—"Desert Nights.” John Gilbert, supported by Ernest Torrence and Mary Nolan, in the Metro - Goldwyn - Mayer sfnchronized production, “Desert Nights,” is the cur- ' rent screen attraction at Loew's Palace. Gilbert portrays the role of manager of a South African diamond mine, who is taken prisoner along with a fortune of gems. The story is one of love and revenge in the wastes of a vast African desert, in which Gilbert’s character is | the dominating figure, first as a prisoner and then as a savior of the girl and her bogus father, who are responsible for his and their plight. A daring gem robbery is one of the sensational thrills of the production, which is all pitched | in a highly dramatic key. On the stage Wesley Eddy and the Palace Syncopators will be seen in the | Loew-Publix production created by | Charles A. Niggemeyer, “Carnival Cock- tail” & merry revue presenting Frances | Wills, Val and Marion Vestoff. Charles | March, Joe Besser, Ethel Dallon and | the Foster Girls. Added attractions in- | clude the M-G-M News, the Fox Movie- | tone News, the Palace Orchestra, under Harry Borjes; Charles Gaige at the organ and short subjects. Midnight performance will be given fonight and Monday. | FOX—“New Year Eve. The new William Fox production ®New Year Eve,” which features Mary Astor and Charles Morton, brings to the Fox Theater this week a comedy drama of life on the fringes of the under- world. In the cast also are Earle Foxe, Florence Lake, a newcomer to the screen, and Helgn Ware, who will be remembered for stage performance in “Within the Ldw.” Miss Astor appears as a girl of mis- fortune in a tenement where, with her Little brother, she faces the new year with & very dark outlook. She steps cut for adventure and a story of thrills, semance and laughter follows. Johnny Marvin, recording and radio star, heads the stage program and in- sugurates a season of greater stage at- tractions for the Fox Theater. Others are Betsy Rees, toe dancer; King, King &' King. from the Roxy Theater, New York; Sully & Gomaly; Muriel La France, a coloratura soprano, and Bert Prohmen, as master of ceremonies, I’n:hteh FOFX Orchestra of 40 musicians | e Fox Movietone News the program. Fompick: | | Bound effects and music, synchronized | with the action of the picture by Para- | mount’s new processes, besides the nat- ural beauty of colors, are to be found in Richard Dix's picture “Redskin,” | hich is the Earle attraction this week. ‘The picture, more than two-thirds filmed in natural color, is a new epic of the West, a companion-piece of “The Vanishing American.” Newly perfected ‘Technicolor processes, designed to ph the scenic beauty of the famous historic places of the West just as they appear to the eye, were con- tracted for and used with fine results. A special theme song, “Redskin,” is in- troduced in the picture, and a mixed ‘chorus chants the original Indian songs, including the wedding chant of the Navajos. During the ceremonial dances in several sequences, the beat of the tem-toms and the low singing of the Indian braves and squaws add to the reslism. Miss Helen Cf‘;lk. Vietor recording emtist, sings the 'me song, and the Paramount Orchestra of 75 pleces car- les the musical score throughout. “Redskin” is offered as one of the| most complete and beautiful historicall e | ber of noted film features. | Phinney Earle. and the musical score | This after- a Race.” This afternoon and moving pictures made. that has ever been | COLUMBIA—"The Doctor’s Secret.” | The Inaugural week program at | Loew’s Columbia has as its outstand- | ing attraction the all-talking picture produced by Paramount, “The Doctor's Secret,” with a cast including well known players, such as Ruth Cha‘fer- ton, H. B. Warner, John Loder and Robert Edeson. The picture was adapted from the famous play by Sir James M. Barrie, “Half An Hour,” a concerns London high society and a wealthy self-made man who his bought-and-paid-for aristocratic wife with no little contempt to find happiness with "t and her carefully laid plans go wrong. One of the oustanding merits of the | picture is said to be the perfect repro- duction of the human voices. Briefly, the wife decides to run away with her real lover, and joins him a short time before he sails for Egypt. He goes out to buy her clothes and is brought back dead, the victim of an automobile accident. She tells the doc- tor who brings him in about herself, but does not reveal her name. That evening, after she has returned home and tried in vain to recover the note she had left for her husband, she is surprised to find the doskor the guest of her husband. Jack Pepper, acting as master of ceremonies, will _introduce Frances White, the Ponce Sisters, the Reynolds Sisters and _Joseph Regan in a Metro Movietone Revue. Another movietone | act produced by Metro will feature Jan | teenth and G streets, and also at the Garber and his band. with elaborate settings and specialties. The Fox Movietone News, the M-G-M News and Columbia Orchestra, under Claude Bur- rows, will complete the program. Midnight performance will be given tonight and Monday. LITTLE THEATER—"“Behind the German Lines.” “Behind the German Lines,” UFA's | | Dresentation of Germany's side of the war, has been held over at the Little Theater for the second week, includ: ing today. This claimed to be the only pic- ture ever made in which there no cast—and in which some of the most noted persons in the world play promi nent roles—including, in part, the for- mer Kaiser of Germany, Baron von Hindenburg, Gen. Ludendorff, Von Tir- pitz, Jofire, Lloyd George, President Woodrow Wilson, Marshal Foch and Gen. Pershing. Unusual is the aspect that this film was taken from no script. It is a story, told day by day, of the war from pic- tures and statements taken from the official records of the Imperial German government. Unlike the tale expected from $he vanquished, this story is no excuse fof their having lost to the allies, nothwithstanding there is exhib- ited the official dispatch taken from the files of the German war office showing that the American entry proved too much to combat on the Western front. Added film fare will include “Killing the Killer,” a UFA production which presents the battle of a_mongoose with a deadly cobra, in which the little rat- like animal wins; also the “Tragedy of | a Morphine Fiend” and “The Great Gulch Mystery,” said to be the only moveless movie ever released. PRESIDENT—"The Birth of a Rac “The Birth of a Race” is now at the President Theater, with showings daily | at 1,3, 5, 7 and 9 pm. It has a big, theme, mankind’s struggle for the ideal | of brotherhood through the ages, with its romance, its smiles, tears and thrills, reaching back to the Garden of Eden, thence to Noah and the Flood and en- compassing the life of Moses, the life of Christ, the landing of Columbus, the Declaration of Independence, Lincoln and his Emancipation Proclamation down to the great World War and to the sunshine of peace. The scenario was written by George Frederick Wheeler, Rudolph de Cor- dova and John W. Noble and directed by John W. Noble, producer of a num- The art | titles by a noted artist, Ferdinand was composed by Joseph Breil. Among the film celebrities who con- tributed characterizations to this pro- duction are: Jane Grey, Anna Lehr.‘ Anita Cortez, Will H. Gregory. Phflllp\ Van Loan, Charles Graham and Belle Seacombe. Educating the Audience. m comes Edwin Carewe, s. promi- nent producing director of motion | pictures, to say that the movie is edu- cating its audiences, “There was a time,” says Mr. Carewe | ~or is it his press agent that says um} for him?—“when the movie audience | was said to have fifth-grade intelli-| gence—a time when movie producers had to point their work toward exag- | geration to make it effective. “Not so today. The present audience | of 20,000,000 people a day is not only | more discriminating, but more sym- | pathetic. Also there are more adults, especially men, among the present-day audience. present-day producers must deliver a| full measure of entertainment, regard- Jess of cost, and that there i3 no pos- | sibility of slipping over a poor picture on the public. The education of the audience has brought about the passing | of the snappy, risque, ‘naughty’ picture | and a preference for true classics.” i If this be really true, it is a2 consum- mation devoutly to be wished for. These conclusions attributed to Mr. Carewe, however, appear to be drawn from the very successful reception of his picture of the Helen Hunt Jackson story, “Ramona,” and which is referred 10 in his argument. They appear, fur- thermore, to suggest a wish that is father to the thought, in view of his purpose to film the Longfellow poem. “Evangeline,” which. doubtles hopes will be as beautifu! and received as was “Ramona.” “Regarding ‘clean’ pictures,” con- tinues Mr. Carewe. “there are more than 60.000.000 registered churchgoers in America as compared to about 5,000, 000 cabaret and night club devotees ‘The comparison scems to show that the producer who has good goods doesn't need to exeggeratle or spice his product to win success. I maintain,” he is quoted as saying, “there never has been an immoral film | play, but the extent to which some producers have gone to show the con- trast between good and bad in real life has often been unnecessary.” If it be true, as Mr. Carewe states, that the movie itself is now weaning the public taste from pictures that do not elevate the intelligrnce of their audiences, and above all that it is really educating those audiences in the higher and better things of life, the world will be the better for it. And with the world. the stage, as well as the screen, will be benefited. It is a most helpful sign that so prominent a screen director as Mr. Carewe is giving serious consideration to the subject, even though there may be those who ques- tion his sincerity in saying what he does concerning the passing of the risque picture and the mistaken effort of the director who makes his con- trast between good and evil in the All of which means that the | § world too strong in the endeavor to convey his moral lesson. Just why an art or an industry that has achieved such wonderfully beau- tiful things should wish to mar its rec- ord with those of base design is and always will be food for solemn thought by those who take things as they are and who would have those things what they should be rather than fail of the purpose through a too intense zeal on the part of a motion picture to be ab- solutely realistic.

Why?

It/ was Mary Newton's voice, for Mary has a gorgeous voice, not only for speaking, but for singing as well, although she hasn't sung yet for the public of Washington. And all through the week Mary's voice has been a topic of praise in the ‘Washington household.
