DARLING OF PARIS PLAYS HERE AGAIN

Miss Theda Bara, under the direction of William Fox, is probably one of the busiest young women In the country. She is certainly not an idler. When she is not at "work" In the studios, she is devoting; most of her time to the cultivation of high art. While she keeps herself abreast of the times and conversant with the general

topics of the day, she has little time

for anything else than ' work. " By j special request Miss Bara in "Darling j of Paris" comes to the Washington I Thursday. j

LITTLE MISS CLARK COMES BACK AGAIN

Anyone with a slight Inclination toward prevarication or just plain lying, for that matter would find food for serious reflection in "Miss George Washington," the Famous Players-

Paramount picture at the Murrette in which Marguerite Clark stars for the first time since the renewal of her contract with the Famous Players. In this story one little fib, told by Miss Clark starts an avalanche of deception in order to enable her to conceal the first breach of faith. To make matters worse, Miss Clark is such an innocent looking little soul that she even receives a handsome medal from the Truth Society for her emulation of George Washington! Needless to say she nearly expires with mirth during the presentation of the medal.

"DOUBLE CROSS" AT WASHINGTON It is the "business" that counts in pictures even more than , the big things, according to William Parke, under whose direction Pathe's "Mystery of the Double Cross" Washington Monday and Tuesday was produced by the Astra Film Corporation. 4 "In a picture it is the 'business' that counts," says Mr. Parke. "Also in a play a bit. of business will get a bigger laugh than any line you can speak. I remember in particular, one play I produced. It .had been sent around to many managers but they had no faith in it. However," I saw its possibilities and it turned out to be a big success. .
