FEISTREER - RENO RING INVENTED Mrs. Nan Barclay Devises Circlet to Distinguish Divorcee Class.

HARACTER acting such as is seldom seen on stage or screen marks D. W. Griffith’s “Abraham Lincoln,” now playing for its second week at the National Theater. ‘Walter Huston portrays Lincoln after the manner of a past master. He impresses upon his audience the fact that Lincoln was a human being, & man who knew how to tell a good story, how to love and how to laugh, as well as how to be seri- ous-minded in guiding the destiny of a nation. 1t is the finesse of Huston in put- ting across the thought that Lincoln was, after all, a regular fellow in- stead of a cloistered oracle that makes the picture an outstandin success. Many actors have playe the role of Lincoln. Some were good, some bad and others indifferent. Huston deserves to be rated among the good. Depicting as it does the rise of ease with which it moves from one momentous point to another in & highly coherent fashion is re- markable. . Among the biographical chapters are the significant debate with Douglas, the struggles wtih an un- ruly cabinet, the promotion of Grant to head the Union Armies, the ride of Sheridan through the shambles of the battlefields, Lee’s surrender and the President’s assassination. In the earlier sequences, Una Merkel as Ann Rutledge, the girl who won Lincoln’s hurtbdo;s ;ell, Capable Entertainers Appear In Burlesque at Gayety. GRACING the stage of the Gayety this week as the featured at- traction of the “Silk Stocking Re- vue” is the incomparable Hinda ‘Wassau, one of the most beautiful and most popular stars of the Mu- tual circuit. A big crowd turned out last night to welcome Hin k to gton. Through the efforts of Jimmie Lake, Miss Wassau returned for just one week, in conjunction with this revue. \ Hinda will be remembered as the miss who scored such a big hit last season, and the Gayety patrons evi- dently entertained pleasant memo- ries of the dynamic blonde, for she received a rising ovation on her first appearance. With her song -and- dance acts as enticing as ever, Miss Wassau scored a potent success. Getting down to the revue, which has some very capable troupers, foremost is Silk himself, a come- dian of rare ability, able to provoke & bit of mirth from the customers at any time. Arvonne Melford and Armound Monte are two young women who make them- selves indispensable in their roles as Telephone National 5000 For immediate delivery of The Star to your home every evening and Sunday morning.

La- monte and Root, a song-and-dance team that is familiar to regular pa- trons, have worked y & clever rou- tine and are generally appreciated. ‘Tereta Schaeffer, a native Wash- ingtonian, and Paul Jerome have good roles in this production, which can rightfully boast of an array of burlesque entertainers who have made promising names for them- selves over the circuit.
