AMUSEMENTS AT LOCAL HOUSES

WASHINGTON The theme of "Panthea," at the Washington Friday and Saturday, is one calculated to hold the interest of all picture patrons. The story begins In Russia with Panthea fleeing from the net of the dreaded secret police who have falsely accused her of being a revolutionist. Escaping to England, she marries a young composer and the greatest situation in the play comes when she sacrifices herself that he may achieve success. As directed by Allan Dwan, the picture excels in its rapidity of action, building up its big climaxes in a fashion that is certain to hold the most hardened picture patron spellbound. Striking scenes depicting the persecution of Nihilists by Russian police and the destruction by fire of a vessel at sea, while outside of the main thread of the story, lend additional force to the production. MURRAY Robert W. Chambers has never written a more wonderful story than this brilliant novel of New York life, "The Common Law," at the Murray theatre Wednesday. Its heroine, Valerie West, artist-model and philosopher, is one of the most sympathetic figures in modern literature. As portrayed by Miss Clara Kimball Youngs she becames a living personification of sweet and noble womanhood. MURRETTE Many phases of New York life are strikingly shown in the stirring MetroRolfe production, "The Sunbeam," with Mabel Taliaferro as the star, which will be seen at the Murrette theatre here tomorrow. The 6tory deals with a girl who, because of her wonderfully sweet and generous nature, sheds happiness on all with whom she comes in contact and thus wins the name of "The Sunbeam." MURRETTE There are seven real dwarfs in the Famous Players adaptation of "Snow White" in which Marguerite Clark Is starred. It is the Paramount Picture at the Murrette theatre Monday and Tuesday, where Creighton Hale, DorootHy Cumming, Lionel Braham and Alice Washburn appear in support of Miss Clark. MURRAY Feminine beauty which never fails to ilease a vaudeville crowd scored at the Murray theatre last night when "Four Husbands," a musical tabloid well saturated with fun was the offering.

Including the loss of the cruiser Milwaukee, the United States navy has Buffered losses during last year totaling $11,000,000.

"It was Saturday and I had to attend the matinee. Robert was to meet me and di;ie with me, and then afterward we were to motor down together into tho country." ' There was a silence. Lady Torrens turned her eyes away. She could not bear to look at this woman, who was now being crucified upon the cross of her love. "When I went home," the tired voice began again, "Robert wasn't there, so I rang up. And then his

man said be was ill, and that Sir Maline Gorde had attended him. For a little while I felt too overcome even to think. Then I knew I knew that Robert's illness was my fault. "People aren't meant to be happy when they try to get their happiness by wrong doing. I went round to him, and he didn't know me. The doctor said it was fever, some pressure oh the brain, -and 'that he- thought a slight operation would be necessary. "And then, as you know, they had the operation. Ob, that was an awful time! I felt that I should go mad; it seemed as if Robert must die, as if we were not meant to be happy together because T had done wrong. "I prayed that if one was to be punished it might be me, and yet all the time I knew that Robert would have to share whatever suffering there was to be. "When I heard that the operation was over, and that it had been a complete success, I could not believe the news. I could not even feel glad or happy. I Just had to see him for myself and be sure that he really was alive, after all. "When I went into the nursing home I wasn't allowed to see him. Day after day I rang up and was told 'No,' until at last I was so anxious that I forced my way into him. He looked so ill, so different, and he he didn't know me. "At least, he did know me, just for a moment. Almost as soon as his dear eyes had looked at me with their own natural expression they seemed to cloud over again, and his gaze would change into the dreadful bewildered look which he had when I first spoke to him. "Lady Torrens, rather than again see Robert look at me as if I were a complete stranger, I would gladly die I would Indeed! It was horrible horrible! I could not endure it a second time. Oh, what does it all mean? It is like some fearful nightmare! I feel as if I should wake up and find it all a dream. But I don't wake up, so

it must be real, and the agony of it all is driving me mad. Isn't there anything we can do at all?" Lady Torrens stroked her glove methodically up and down. Behind the quietness of her face her brain worked furiously. And when Lady Torrens set her

shrewd old wits to work there was, as a rule, an excellent result in the shape of a definite and wise pronouncement. In this case her brain was re-enforced by her heart, for not only was Robert Fane her dearest nephew, one who was rather a son than a mere nephew, but she had also grown to love the beautiful and impulsive Ra

chel for her own sake. So, with the sympathy and tact which she possessed in no small degree, despite her blunt manners, Lady Torrens said nothing for a few moments. Then, when 6he had matured the thought which had lain for some time simmering half consciously in her m.lnd, she broke silence. "Rachel," she said, "tell me honestly, do you think that Gorde operated unnecessarily upon Robert?" "I don't know what to think," Rachel answered miserably. "Dr. Malet also advocated an operation." "Was he present at it, do you know?" "Yes, for I asked him." "Then we can dismiss that point. Malet is an honorable man. He would not consent to anything underhand. We have still to consider Robert's remarkable loss of memory. What has Malet to say to that?" "He is nonplused. He says there is no definite cause to account for it." "My dear, you had better go round to that nice sister and tell her exactly what you have told me. I know that she was perplexed by the memory business, for she told me so. If any one suspects anything about this affair it will be she. A woman doesn't lead a life so nearly In touch with humanity at its frankest, which ill people always are, without learning some secrets about human nature, I can assure you." Rachel flinched. "I will go," she said. She rang for her maid. To be continued
