MURRAY TO OFFER MUSICAL NUMBER

Opening Monday and for three days there will be offered at the Murray theatre something in the way of tabloid musical comedy. "My. Honolulu Girl," an entire new production with new scenery new wardrobe and a clever company numbering more than twenty will be shown in one act, three scenes. The first scene will be a Honolulu Hotel, the second a dock scene and the third an Island showing the Kelauea volcano, also the ocean showing a big ocean liner at its landing. Heading . this beautiful production are two of the most popular musical comedy stars who have made thousands laugh and scream at their funny antics and most humorous and original personalities and ways. Charles J. Burkhart known to all as the man with funny slide handles the male comedy end, while the diminutive little comedy star, Alice Berry, takes the leading slavey and commedienne roll. HELEN HOLMES SETS RECORD FOR DARING Chapter three of "A Lass of the I.umber-lands" at Theatorium Sunday. Dashing, daring Helen Holmes, is setting a new record for recklessness. She is absolutely without fear. In "A Lass of the Lumberlands" she is performing feats that make on gasp, outdoing all her past accomplishments, in the way of her hair-raising, daredevil stunts. Chapter three opens one of the most picturesque scenes ever shown on a photoplay screen. " Two canoes guiding their frail craft by dexterous strokes through the rapids of a boulder-strewn river in the famed Yosemite Valley of Northern California. In chapter three there is a wild race with a locomotive with Helen Holmes at the throttle, to overtake and pass somo runaway cars, and throw a switch to prevent a fatal collision between a passenger and a freight train. "DOUBLE LIFE" AT THE MURRETTE In the large yard behind the Ft Lee studio at which William Fox's "Her Double Life" at the Murrette Monday was filmed are the remains of an Algerian city used by Director Edwards in one of his former pictures. A sign above the doorway of one building reads, "Cafe." Lucia Moore, who plays Lady Clifford in the new photoplay, reported at the studio one day Just at lunch time. '.""The place was empty, and Mrs. Moore Judged correctly that everyone was eating lunch. She decided to have some herself. Looking about, Mrs. Moore discov ered the sign in the Algerian city She started toward it. She opened the door and went in Going in amounted to going out, for the dooray led through a thin' plaster wall. Mrs. Moore wonderingly walked through . the aperture. She thought that one of these German open-air affairs might be hidden behind a near by wall. But when she reached the wall, she found again, only plaster and cloth. "It must be a mirage," the actress thought. "Who would have dreamed that such a thing could happen in this wet climate?" When Mrs. Moore finally found (he Studio Lunch Room, two blocks away, all thoughts of hunger had disappeared before the anxiety of finding a place to eat. . . OPPENHEIM FILM SHOWS SUNDAY Some of the largest settings ever erected in a motion picture studio were built by the Famous Players for their adaption of E. Phillips Oppenheim's groat novel." The World's Great Snare," in which that foremost feature concern is starring Pauline Frederick at the Murrette. This Paramount Picture represents the first work of Joseph Kaufman, the well-known director, Bince Joining the Famous Players staff, and it may unhesitatingly be stated that the production will reflect great credit trpon the director and all those concerned with its adaptation. ROY LAIDLAW PLAYS PATRIOT What is said to be one of the most realistic characterizations ever attempted by a photo player is contirbuted by Roy Laidlaw to "The Patriot," at the Murray Sunday, the Trtangle Kay Bee play by Monte M. Katterjohn, in which Thomas H. Ince presents William S. Hart as star. It is a composite impersonation of Zapta and Villa, the notorious Mexican bandits, and is declared to be one of the most striking portrayals in the piece. "THE KID" IS WASHINGTON BILL She called him "Daddy." He was the only father she ever knew a big hearted, red-blooded newspaper man. He called her "The Kid." And when she, as a cub reporter, trailed down tho Beef King and tacked a murder on his conscience, "daddy" was forced to tell her that she had "scooped" her real father. But when this real father promises to give bis ill-gotten wealth to charity, f;ho softens and spurning his love, marries her "daddy." "The Kid" is a five-act photoplay i which appears at the Washington Theatre Sunday.
