Washington Offerings For the Week

The millicns who are writing motion picture scenarios, or trying to do so, will learn a lot from watching the splendid direction of William Parke in the "Mystery of the Double Cross" serial, which is being shown at the Washington theatre Monday and Tuesday. In the fifth episode there is a scene which demonstrates what motion picture writers should be careful to "get over " , Norma Talmadge's second SelznickPictures offering "The Law of Compensation," will be the featrre at the Washington Theatre next Friday and Saturday. In this photodrama Miss Talmadgo returns to America from her tragic journey through Russia, England and France in her recent success. "Fanthea," and Is the central figure In a gripping drama of modern toclal conditions in this country. At last the almost Impossible has happened. Valeska Suratt, famed throughout the world as the Empress

of Fashion, appears in a film drama without wearing an array of gowns which would stock a modiste's shop. In William Fox's picturization of Rider Haggard's famous novel, "She" at the Washington Sunday and Monday, her latest production. Miss Suratt appears only in the beautifully simple flowing draperies of ancient Egypt. "Now Willie McDonald is a good lad and has siller in the bank." Angus McClinton smiled knowingly at his daughter Mary as he said this. Angus wanted Mary to marry Willie but Mary, had other thoughts in her head. Mary couldn't stand Willie, despite the "siller" that he had in the bank. Mary was meant for life and laughter, not for the hard-fisted solemnity that, was Willie's. The climax of "Moral Courage," Washington, Tuesday and Wednesday, the newest World-Picture Brady-Made is one of the most surprising and startling things ever filmed.

Kathlyn Williams', the brilliant Mo-rosco-Paramount star, who recently scored with a success in the Paramount-Pictures "Redeeming Love," will be seen at the Murrette on Wednesday and Thursday in the Morosco production of Maud E. Corsan's gripping story, "Out of the Wreck." Around the marble top table of a Bcreen Btar, who recently scored such a pronounced success in "Oliver Twist" will be Been at the Murrette on Monday and Tuesday in the Jesse L. Lasky production of the clever Irish drama, "Castles for Two," written especially for her by Beatrice De Mills and Leighton Osmon, and produced for the Paramount Program under the direction of Frank Reicher. Around the marble top table of a quaint New England parlor are seated friends of the late Widow' Lawrence, Just deceased. What to do with Jenny, the only child, is the topic of the whispered conversation. Several offer to take the little girl to live with them when the lawyer announces that the

last w ish of her mother was that she be sent to her uncle who left for the Colifornia gold mines two months previous. The idea appeals to Jenny and thus, during the big gold rush of '4!), she leaves for California to live with her uncle. Thus begins Mary Pickford's new film. Harry T. Morey the virile male lead of Stuart J. Blackton's great patriotic ppectacle, "Womanhood, the Glory of the Nation," which is at the Murrette theatre on June 1, 2 and 3, was called upon to , make a speech to a large auditorium crowded with people for one of the scenes of the picture. "Come In. dear, and meet your future husband." If you were a little girl

suddenly taken out of school and your father thus summoned you Into his library", wouldn't your' knees rfairly creak with fright and wouldn't - you feel like turning and running as fast aq you could? And if the man to

whom you were introduced as your future husband leered at you in a terrifying way wouldn't you wish that some good fairy would show you the way to escape from this man? That is the situation which confronts "Little Lady Eileen" in the Famous Players production in which Irresistible Marguerite Clark is being starred on the Paramount program at at the Murrette theatre Sunday.
