LYRIC 1 AT THE MURRETTE MURRAY

One of the most lavish and beautiful features to come to any Richmond ! heatre this season is to have its premiere on Dec. 17-18 at the Lyric. It is titled "Sirens of the Sea" and was Inspired by Heine's "Legend of the Lorelei." One thousand persons were constantly employed in the cast and b production" took six months to complete. Allen Hollubar is the dlrec'or and Louise Lovely,' Carmel Myers i ail Jack Mulhall are the featured Players.' Grace Helen Ballley is responsible for the script, scenarioized ';y Hollubar. ' The story concerns a baby girl washed on the shore of a strange island In the Pacific, following a terrific storm. She is discovered by Haji, an old beach comber, and adopted by Wellington Stanhope and his-wife, wealthy Americans residing, for diplomatic reasons, on the island. Grown to beautiful girlhood, she is placed by li?r foster-parents in the fashionable seminary for girls located on the isl and and attended by students from the states. The girls don seaweed and u!;cleles in a particularly festive party on the beach one day, and they are i gated by Gerald Waldron, wealthy votng American, cruising in foreign waters to escape ennui, accompanied by his friend Hartly Royce. Believing the maidens to have escaped from ome enchanted land, the young men noer their launch In their midst as (hey swim out to them. MURRETTE A party in a borrowed house with uninvited guests and the sudden entrance of the Mayor of the town are a very fev of the funny things that happen in Mack Sennett's newest Paramount comedy . "Are Waitresses Snfe?M which is showing at the Murj cite theatre today.- Clever Louise l'uienda. Een Turpin. Slim Summerville and Teddy, the famout dog-com-median, have conspired to make this picture onj of the roost enticing laughinducere of the season. As a special attraction at the Murrette theatre tomorrow, Manager Murray announces the return engagement of Douglas Fairbanks in his new Artefact picture, "Down to Earth," written by himself and adapted to the (.creen'by clever little Anita Loos, .lohn Emerson, producer of 'previous Fairbanks Artcraft .triumphs, again pilots the activities of the energetic star in this production with notable results. In fact. It is freely predicted that "Down to Earth',' is -undoubtedly ilio greatest Fairbanks' screen vehicle ever given the popular star, the reason for this, no doubt, being the fact that he wrote it himself, incidentally adding to his accomplishments as an au thor. , The story of the photoplay tells of a typical American youth whose "wanderlust" and ideas of living close to nature are not in accord with the views of life assumed by his sweetheart, an ambitious society bud. Bridge parties, matinee dances, tea parties and sumptuous dinners are the important factors in the pretty girl's sof lal career and these occupy too much of her time for wanderings amidst God s country in the great out? doors. How the persistent youth takes her away from her surroundings and wins her over to his way of thinking despite herself offers one of the most amusing tonics the screen has yet displayed. Many climes are vjsifed and many surprises are presented in typical Fairbanks style, ranging in variety from doing a handstand on a mountain precipice 8,000 feet above sea level to teaching a hippopotamus thej ramous Fairbanks smile. "What Is undoubtedly one. of the most beautiful bcenes ever filmed and one that will puzzle even experts on advanced motion picture photography, is the opening scene in "Wooden Shoes," at the Murrette theatre Wednesday and Thursday, the Triangle play starring Bessie Barriscale. This is the play for which the famout Dutch '"set" was originally erected at the Triangle Culver City studios, and the opening scene was taken at night. The lig'ats are seen gleaming through the windows of the quaint Dutch houses with their picturesque tiled rofs and the full moon is reflect cd upon the- rippling waters of the canal that winds its way between the closely-grouped houses. Kxperts on cinematography know that methods have not been devised for photographing a real . moon without the aid of stop-motion photography BAD BREATH V Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets" Get at the Cause and Remove It Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets, the substituts for calomel, act gently on the bowels andposiUvelydothework.

AT THE WASHINGTON Behind the good old Anglo-Saxon name of Edwin Hunter Smith one would hardly search to find the real Edwin Arden, actor, author, journalist, cowboy politician. But Mr. Arden, who will be featured at the Washington theatre Sunday in "The Iron Heart," a five-reel Pathe photoplay written by Oulda Berger and directed by George Fitzmaurice, nevertheless was born Smith and christened Edwin Hunter. His father was editor of the Mound City that the subject of this St. Louis Republic and it was in the short biographical sketch first looked upon the wide world. In his youth. Mr. Arden developed the roaming spirit which eventually made him an itinerant player. Longing for adventure, he left an affluent home with the prospect of following in his father's footsteps as a Journalist to blaze a trail for himself in the wild and woolly West. Full of the daring and bravado of those adventurous spirits that found their way to the borderland in the early days young Arden at sixteen engaged in the strenuous life of the cowpuncher. Having some amateur experience in acting he later gave up ranching and returned to St Louis to try his band at newspaper work. This was only a stepping stone in his scheme, for he felt that the experience of a reporter would be invaluable not only In writing plays but in acting them. He found ready employment on his father's newspaper- with such associates as the late John F. Cockerell and Joseph Pulitzer, two of the dominant figures in American journalism and the pedestrians that are seen moving about cn the street below as well as the punts that are. plying the water of the canal make it evident that this particular scene was not obtained that way.

a quarter of a century ago. After a varied experience as reporter, Mr. Arden set out for Chicago with the determination' to become an actor. He found employment in the company of Thomas Wi- Keene. - the - tragedian, married the tragedian's daughter, and subsequently set out for himself as a star in his own plays. His ready pen and his vivid Imagination fashioned the stories of "Eagle's Nest," "Barred Out" and "Raglan's Way," and his gift for acting -found him employment with the best stars in the most successful and difficult plays. He has played everything from Shakespeare classic to lurid melodrama, supported the leading stars, and played himself in stellar roles. A new star of the screen firmament is coming to the Washington theatre next Monday for a twro days' run. William FOx is presenting her in his latset photodrama, "The Paiinted Madonaa," She is Sonia Markova, a Russian girl who arrived in the United States recently from the country that is seetbliig with the results of revolution. This girl brings to the screen not only a new face, but also a swnet one and one showing . the dramatic talent she possesses. She is called "the Girl with the Big Black Eyes," and after you see her you will know the reason. Montagu Love, the famous English actor, used to be an artist. He was a real artist, too, not a dilettante. His sketches from the Boer War were reproduced on the first page of the "London Times" and were one of the biggest successes that big newspaper ever had. Now Mr. Love is acting in World-Pictures Brady-Made and in his latest picture, "The Awakening," In which he is co-starred with beautiful Dorothy Kelly, Mr. Love portrays the role of an artist and he portrays it right. He holds his brushes in the way that a real artist holds them and MONDAY TUESDAY

Robert Crimmlns who plays the role of "Laughing Louie" in the new Triangle play "Grafters," which is scheduled for performance at the Murray, theatre Sunday, is going around these days holding up his right hand and flaying, "Never Again." Mr. Crimmlns used to appear in comedy roles exclusively and he though that he-was impervious to all- kinds of humor. He described himself es the "Original Froeen Face;" and the best part of it was that his friends believed him. But when he was assigned the part of "Laughing Louie," in "Grafters," a part so named because the character never smiled, his fellow players got together with so many pieces of wit that Mr. Cummins was almost unable to stand, it. They kidded him day in and day out during the making of the picture and the only way that he was able to keep from laughing was by getting angry and all one could see after completion of a scene was a lot of players scurring for the c6ver with Cummins in pursuit. To steal money is bad enough, but to steal Broadway's idolized musical comedy star, at the height of the show season, and whisk her away to the land of sand and cactus, with a five thousand dollar reward out. for her return and the arrest of the kidnappers, is a pretty big order even for an Arizona millionaire. That is just wliat John Keyes does In the new Triangle play. "Broadway, Arizona' at the Murray theatre Monday and Tuesday. He kidnapped her because he loved her, and he had the doctor's word that her health demanded a change of climate. For publicity purposes, a year ago, she had accepted his proposal of marriage, only to deny the engage ment after her press agent had gotten a lot of free space for the announcement. Keyea forgave that. Love finds strange ways to reach its ends, and Keyes was no ordinary lover. With Olive Thomas, the bewitching little star who but recently played havoc with the hearts of real Broadway audiences, cast as "Fritzie Carlyle," the actress whom Keyes finally "wins, the story of "Broadway, Arizona" is assured no ordinary -presentation on the screen. PEACE NOW Continued From Page One. and that Lord Lansdowne was in agreement with President Wilson. "I, also," the premier declared, "agree with President Wilson and do not desire" to force a controversy where none existed." "I warn the nation to watch the man who thinks there is a halfway house between victory and defeat," the premier admonished. "There are the men who think you can end the war now by some sort of what they call peace by setting up a league of nations. That Is the right policy after victory; without victory it would be a farce." Force Must Support Law. Continuing his discussion of a league of nations, Mr. Lloyd George said it could not be had by a negotiated peace at this time. "It is idle to talk of security to be won by such feeble means," he asserted. "There is no security in any land without the certainty of punishment. There Is no protection in a state where the criminal is more powerful than the law. "To end a war entered upon to enforce a treaty, without reparation for the infringement of that treaty, merely by entering into a new, more sweeping and comprehensive treaty would be a farce in the setting of a tragedy." he acts and works like a man who knew his business. What is described a3 the quaintest play of a quaint actress. "Sunshine Alley," -starring Mae Marsh, is the newest Goldwyn Picture to be shown at the Washington theatre, Friday and Saturday. , The story of the play was written especially to fit the peculiar talent3 of Miss Marsh by Mary Rider, the dramatist, and transferred to the screen under direction of lack Noble, with the celebrated magazine illustrator, Everett Shinn, in charge of artistic mounting.
