THE WASHINGTON BOOKS WAR BRIDES

"War Brides." at the Washington Theatre Thursday, Friday and Saturday, is the thing for which we have long, been waiting. It hits the nail squarely on the head and at one mighty clip sends it home " for keeps." I said to myself as I watched Mr. Brenon's great play, so admirably 8cted by the matchless Nazimova: "If this picture could have been shown in the capitals of Europe before the fatal Third of August, 1914, there would have been no war."

PEOPLE MUST PAY FOR THEIR EVIL

For the evil we do we must pay, right here on earth, is another way of saying that we cannot escape our just deserts. This is proven through convincing dramatic construction in the Bluebird photoplay, "The Piper's Price," to be the attraction at the Washington Theatre on Tuesday and Wednesday, with beautiful and talent;cd Dorothy Phillips playing the leadlng role.

DUSTIN FARNUM . ACTS AS PARSON

iOnce in a great while come3 a photoplay that reaches all hearts. A photoplay that makes a never-to-be forgotten impression. One that is long remembered and by its prestige becomes a tradition of the .silent drama. Such an achievement is the new Pallas-Paramount production. Dustin Farnum, the Pallas Pictures star, portrays the parson in "The Parson of Pacamint," at the Murrette Sunday, the young lion-htarted shepherd of a strange appearing flock the friend of the friendless, the broken-hearted., the rough miner and (he sodden derelict.

! AMUSEMENTS AT I LOCAL HOUSES ! "Something new under tho sun," new to thi3 generation, if not to the old. That something is "Japland," an operatic minstrel farce comedy that employs the joint services of John W. Vogel's Big Minstrels, a remarkable cast of comic, opera principals and a pleasing chorus of beautiful Geisha girls. - It is a minstrel show, girl show, opera and extravagance combined, tha book calling for a modern minstrel First Part which, In this instance, U one of the merry features of the performance instead of the long drawnout affair sometimes seen in straight minstrelsy. "There are the regulation end men, of course, ten of them, in fact, but they are human beings instead of automotons, their work, songs and patter are being a part of the book of "Japland," or the Garden of the Mikado. The background, aB the title suggests, is oriental, Japan being the picturesque country for the action, that fact allowing great scope for wonderful seenic investiture and sartorial elegance, both of which are presented In an extraordinarily lavish manner and absolutely correct as to detail. The huge company numners fifty-two persons and carries its own double symphony orchestra and solo concert band, a noonday parade with several novelties being scheduled for Wednesday, January 21, the date on which Mr. Vogel's allied froces will be seen and heard at the Washington.

JEALOUSY FORMS BASIS FOR FILM

The power of a woman's jealousy is the underlying theme which gives vivid and rapid action to the new Wiliam Fox photoplay, "The Love Thief," at the Washington Theatre Sunday and Monday, in which Gretchen Hartman and Alan Hale are featured. Miss Hartman plays the part of th'e Mexican girl, Juanita, who, through a ruse, gets Arthur Boyce's fiancee, Clare Nelson (Frances Burnham) to break off her engagement. When Juanita sees that she cannot make Boyce (Alan Hale) love her, her affection turns into hatred.

TRIANGLE STARS IN UNIQUE FILM Two Triangle favorites are co-starred in "Jim Grimsby's Boy," which will be seen at the Murray theatre Sunday. They are Frank Keenan and Enid Markey. The play is said to be one of the most unique and interest-

SAY FAIRBANKS HAS NO DOUBLE

It has long been an axiom of physiognomists that every person has his double somewhere in the world, but up to date the directors of the Triangle-Fine Arts features , in which Douglas Fairbanks has been starred have been unable to find an actor looking enough like him to impersonate him successfully. In "American Aristocracy" at the Murrette Wednesday Douglas is called upotv to impersonate another man, and the 'directors thought that perhaps they would be more successful thib time in locating a man of Fairbanks' build and facial appearance. But the task proved far less easy than they had anticipated.

Pearl White's reputation as Pathe's fearless, peerless girl is borne out by her actions in the third episode of the great, military-mystery serial, "Pearl of the Army," now showing at the Arcade theatre. This episode entitled, "The Silent Menace," will be presented .tomorrow. Each episode of this military-mystery serial is more interesting than the one which preceded it.

"FULL HOUSE" WINS UNSTINTED PRAISE

Never In the history of farce productions in New York City has any laughter play won such unstinted praise from the newspaper critics as the new farce, "A Full House," which has just closed a six months' run on

Broadway, and will be the attraction at the Murray Theatre, Wednesday, January 24th. x For instance, the New York Tribune, so conservative In Its criticism of the drama) broke all bounds in heaping praise on "A Full House." This Is how it started off a two column review of the farce: "A Full House ' is frankly dedicated to the High Imp of Laughter, and it amply fulfills its dedication. It Is farce, straight, unadulterated and unashamed. Laughter Is its end and its beginning, its middle and its outsides."
