A. Curtis Roth, former United States Vice-Consul at Plauen, Saxony, met, wooed and won Miss Dora Baumann, daughter of a German army officer. Compelled by Illness to return home, he arranged with difficulty for passports for Miss Baumann to come over. She nursed him here, and when death was seen to be imminent he asked that the marriage ceremony be performed. She thus becomes an American citizen, but intends to return to Germany.

across that place in this get-up for a million dollars." Finally, however, after much arguing. Mr. Eltlnge consented to appear, but threw a heavy dressing gown over iiis costume. He then Insisted that hK set be boxed in so that his first day'a performance would be concealed from prying eyes. But, after the novelty wore off it was nothing to see the star walking carelessly around the studio, pipe In mouth and dainty skirts wrapped high around him, calling on some of the other Paramount stars or watching them work. The 'Shock was terrific at first, but cow even the primmest' ingenue has recovered and Mr. Eltinge, familiarly known as "Bill," bids fair to become

one of the most popular members of the studio. Just suppose that you were a poor Junk man, making scarcely enough to keep body and soul together and that one day while you had gone into a building for some bottles or rags or tin cans or whatever it is that junk men collect, that someone came along and deserted a wonderfully good-looking chap, about two or three years of age, by hiding him in your wagon underneath a lot of old rags and junk

you had collected and suppose that this selfsame youngster just curled up and made himself right at home in your arms and seemed quite content to stay there. Then suppose that after you had shared everything you had with him, and more often it wasn't sharing, just giving the little fellow everything you had and you were perfectly happy for the first time in your life, that along came some officers and a lady from an institution who claimed that, owing to your poverty, you were unfit to care for the child, and insisted upon taking from you the only thing in the world you had to love just what would you do? You would probably make a big fight for him. just as George Beban doe3 as Dorini, the junk man, in his latest

Paramount reales "Lost in Transit," only his fight didn't but why spoil the story for you? See the solution for yourself at the Murray theatre where this thrillingly dramatic Beban picture is being shown on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Washington Off erings For the Week

The Washington Theatre announces that it will present on Sunday the Pathe feature "War and the Woman," written by Philip Lonergan and produced by Thanhouser under the direction of Ernest Warde, starring Florence LaLadie. In announcing this picture, Manager Pfeiffer said: "It is not too much to fviy that Miss LaBadie's work in this picture is a revelation. She looks startlingly beautiful and her acting is the kind that can be counted upon to make her one of. the most popular stars on the screen." "War and Woman" shows America invaded. It shows what might happen if this city were captured by an enemy if the Germans should not be decisively beaten in this war and shoud carry out their ambition to conquer the world. It shows a patriotic young American forced to work as a maid in her own home, when it is taken over as officers' headquarters by the invaders. It shows girls, who might be your wives, sweethearts or sisters, "invited" to attend the dinners given by these officers, and the circumstances which attend the acceptance which they cannot refuse. It is' a big picture, with an undercurrent of the Secret Service and foreign agents and enough of war to give it a punch. The hero is an American aviator. With our bird-men helping in the great war, this is an especially interesting feature. June Caprice, known to fllmdom as the Sunshine Maid, is the star of the feature to be shown at the Washington Theatre, for two days beginning on Monday. This picture is "Every Girl's Dream". a William Fox production. The cast promises to be one of her strongest parts of this picture. Harry Milliard will play opposite Miss Caprice. Kittens Reichert, who has won a host of lovers by her work in many Fox films, notably as Pearl in "The Scarlet Letter," appears as Miss Caprice's little seven-year-old friend. Margaret Fielding plays June's rival and Dan Mason, that master character man of several Fox plays, appears in a role which is a rare mixture of comedy and villainy. Marcia Harris plays the foster-mother.

The romantic story of Betsy Robs,

who made the first American flag, is thrillingly told in the new World-Picture Brady-Made which will be shown at the Washington theatre on Wednesday and Thursday. This picture bears the title of "Betsy Ross" and charming Alice Brady is seen in the title ro!e. Miss Brady's multitude of admirers will be delighted to know that in this attraction Miss Brady has one of her very best roles. The part of Betsy fits her like the . proverbial glove and when, at General Washington's command, she makes the first star spangled banner, her piquant beauty is seen at its most charming best. Romance predominates in this offering. "Betsy Ross" is not simply a story of the making of the first American flag, but is primarily a romance of the most delightful sort. The story of Betsy's love for Joseph Ashburn is told in a straightforward, true-to-life manner that is particularly pleasing and wound Into the story is the tale of the love of Betsy's sister, Clarissa, for Clarence Vernon. Hobart Bosworth, the distinguished photodramatic star, who appears in support of Mae Murray in the Friedman Enterprises, Inc., production. "A Mormon Maid," which will be seen at the Washington theatre on Friday afternoon and Saturday, had his foot severely crushed and was confined to his home for three weeks during the staging of this picture of early Utah life. Mr. Bosworth is an experience'd horseman, but during the rush and excitement of a scene another rider ran into him and the force of the impact threw his hcffse to the ground, crushing the star's foot beneath. In spite of the painful injury, Mr. Bosworth finished the scene, but Immediately upon its conclusion was taken home and the remainder of the picture was held up pending his recovery. Miss Murray also gives an exhibition of fancy riding in this picture. In a wild dash over tlje prairies toward the camera, she manages to hang on, but right in front of the whirring machine her horse reared and Miss Murray, terror-stricken, clung to the saddle until the scene was finished, then slipped to the ground.

O'Briens Minstrels Coming Next Friday

The. Washington Theatre announces for its attraction on Friday night, Oct. 5, Neil O'Brien and his Minstrels, all newly equipped and organized for their sixth annual tour. Mr. O'Brien has always brought to this city some of the best minstrel organizations it has ever. had, and there seems every reason to believe that the show he offers this year will maintain the high standard established by this most popular of all minstrel comedians. The company is a large one and includes the following artists: Neil O'Brien, Eddie Ross, Joe Coffman, Reggie Futch, Joe Willard, Major Nowak, Steve Werher, Miller and McCarty. James Barardi, Eddie Connelly, Earl Holmes. Charles R. Wright, Earl Harrold, J. Lester Haberkorn, Leslie Berry, Barton Isbell, George Milner, Waldo Roberts and Fred Mills, and many others. From a singing standpoint, the organization is said to be particularly noteworthy, there being no less than twelve soloists of national repute.

Molly, scrubwoman, in "The Love That Lives," at the Murrette Tuesday and Wednesday, resolves that her little children shall have all the sweetnesss and joy of life that have been denied to herself, and bends all her efforts to getting them out of the terrible slums that have held herself, her mother and her husband down. Her baby daughter is run over and killed and her boy, lonely in his mother's and sister's absence, begins to form bad associations, so Molly, at bay, is driven to remind herself of an offer of one of the broker's at the office where she works and she accepts his offer for the sake of her child. Keeping her altered life a secret from the boy, she has him placed in a vocational school where she meets fine bovs and begins to learn a trade. Dur

ing all his schooling days, Molly keps up her terrible sacrifice for her boy until he graduates, when she returns to the life of scrubbing floors,,, doubly hard after the luxury to which she has grown accustomed. Sessue Hayakawa, the talented Japanese actor who is appearing in "Forbidden Paths" at the Murrette theatre next week, made the acquaintance of his demure little Japanese actress-wife in Japan many years ago when she was a child of about four and he was a tall young lad of twelve or thirteen. Little Tsuru Aoki, his wife, was at that time playing child parts in Madame Yacco's company. Later the talented couple found each other again at

the University of Chicago, where both

were studying English literature and drama. The acquaintance which had begun in the little Japanese theatre in the Orient reached its climax in the studios of the Paramount pictures where the two worked together in many productions, and also resumed their study of the English language. It is said that Miss Aoki has become so proficient in the English language that she has almost forgotten her own, while her husband is well-known as a translator of many of the most famous

English classics into Japanese.

among the very few stage personages who have repeatedly refused extraordinary monetary offers for film engagements, firm in the belief that her efforts before the camera could not exceed her work on the stage. Her realization of the fact, however, that before long, the cinema would reach a point where her efforts would do full justice to the film amusement public seeking an art such as has always been her ambition to present, came several months ago. Quietly she studied the work of the players on the schreen and noted the constant improvement of photoplay technique. Miss Ferguson finally entered the film world, not because of its novelty, nor because of a chance for accumulating a fortune, but because It holds out to her possibilities for achievements never before realized In even her triumphant career. One of the theatre's most faithful exponents of the true dramatic art, Elsie Ferguson's advent to the screen marks a distinct achievement for the motion picture patrons.

In keeping with the progressive policy of his theatre, Manager Murray of the Murrette announces one of his greatest coups in the history of his playhouse in popular Elsie Ferguson's first motion picture, ''Barbary Sheep." One of the most luminous stars in the theatrical firmament. Miss Ferguson left the orbit of the stage several months ago to appear before the motion picture camera for Artcraft Pictures, in a screen version of this famous book by Robert Hichens. ; Elsie Ferguson may be numbered

Julian Eltinge, the clever feminine impersonator, who for the past few years has been the sensation of tly; theatrical world, had many strange and amusing experiences in making his first photo-play which he made for Paramount. This is "The Countess Charming" written by Carolyn Wells and Gelett Burgess. "The Countess Charming" will be shown at the Murray theatre on Sunday and Monday. Mr. Eltinge, being accustomed to the shelter of the theatre, at first could not be induced to walk out into the open air in broad daylight clad in a woman's evening gown. The first day in the "set," Donald Crisp, the director, was waiting and Mr. Eltinge had been notified that he was to wear a ball gown. The dressing room was some two hundred feet from the portion of the studio where the set was built, Mr. Crisp called him to come over. Mr. Eltinge stuck a carefully coiffed head out of the dressing room window, removed a pipe from his mouth and said:
