MURRAY A luge cast of prominent stars Is Used to make "Married In Name Only" n extraordinary picture. Milton Sills ind Gretchen Hartman, In name only, ire well known the country over. Mr. Bills In the character of Joseph Stanton, as the leading man In "The Honor System," and Gretchen Hartman. well known as perfect portrayer of Ibsen characters, need no Introduction. Marie Shotwell and Dora Mills Adams, as respectively the mothers Df Robert Worthing and his wife, have important roles in this exceptional production, which Is based on the now considered sound platform of eugenics. Others that acquit themselves favorably are: Stanley Walpole, as the lover; Tom Burroughs, the doctor, and Eleyne Hume, his daughter. "Married in Name Only" Is a notable production In every sense of the word. At the Murray theatre
Sunday. Patrick Dugan and his son. "Jimmy." are reconciled. The battle of wills is ended. Miss Joyce Clifton, godchild of Lady Blessington and society dancing teacher, has been welcomed into the Dugan home as "Jimtnle's" bride, and Jimmie will not be disinherited. The reconciliation took place last night at Lady Blessington's great social function given for the benefit of the American Red Cross Relief. Mr. Dugan discovered that his son had been married yesterday afternoon before the affair. The storm that was expected to break over the young man's head failed to materialize. Mr. Dugan was immediately taken with the charming young bride and freely forgave his son. The romance of the young couple Is a docidedly interesting one. Following young Dugan's expulsion from college caused by a quarrel with the sons of several wealthy families, he entered into the nursery business with an obscure Italian. His parents, advised of his affair at college, hurried East. They took the magnificent mansion which they now occupy at Long Island, unaware of the fact that they had become neighbors to Lady Blessington. While delivering shrubs at the BlesBington home, young Dugan met Miss Clifton. Love at first sight was the result. "Jimmie's" parents observed him from their home and a joyful reunion took place.
Thin is the tale of uugan ana nis boy. "Jimmie." as it is fought out in Triangle's great photoplay. "Real Folks." which will be shown at the Murray theatre Monday and Tuesday. An upheaval is threatened in the police department. The Chief of Police spent all of the afternoon yesterday drilling members of the plainclothes force. One detective admitted that ho had seen a man that he had imagined might be "The Hopper." on a trolley. The chiefs thundering demand for a satisfactory answer to his question, "Why did you let him get by you? received no satisfactory answer. A thrilling and amusing story is this "Collier's Weekly" tale of "The Hopper," by Meredith Nicholson. It has been adapted by Triangle for the Bcreen and will be shown at the Murray theatre on Wednesday and Thursday. William V. Mong performs clever character work as "The Hopper," and is surrounded by an able and sprightly cast. WASHINGTON Not one director but two, took charge of Mary Garden's motion picture debut in the Goldwyn production. "Thais," which is to be seen at the Washington theatre today. They were Hugo Ballin and Frank Crane. Amons: others chosen for the long cast of "Thais" are Lionel Adams, who r1ys Cynius; Alice Chapin. for the pat of Mother Superior, and Margaret Townssend for a nun.
The most romantic story in American history, that of the feud between Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton, which finally resulted in the death of .Hamilton at the hands of Burr in a Viuoi pfnppd on the heights of the Pali
sades across from New York City, is told In-"The Beautiful Mrs. Reynolds." the new World-Picture Brady-Made, which will be shown on Sunday at the Washington theatre. There are four fitars in this attraction Carlyle Blackwell. June Elvidge, Evelyn Greeley and Arthur Ashley and a host of favorite Him players uxsist these stars in the rendition of this big production. In fact the cast In "The Beautiful Mrs. Reynolds" is one of the biggest assembled for a motion picture in a long time. Needless to nay the story Is historically accurate and is staged with with a careful regard for all the historical details necessary for its proper telling. The story of the feud is so dramatic in itself that it forms a perfect movie story. This fact combined with the intense historical Interest in the subject makes "Tho Beautiful Mrs. Reynolds' one of the most thoroughly Interesting and entertaining pictures ever flashed on a screen. It is not only an education to see this picture, but is Is splendid entertainment. Carlvle Blackwell appears in the role of Alexander Hamilton; Arthur Ashley Is seen as Aaron Burr; Evelyn Greeley appears as Miss Moncrieffe, while June Elvidge is seen in the role of Maria Reynolds. The story of "Cupid's Round Up." starring Tom Mix. tells of two wealthy ranch owners who live side by side. Each has a child, one a boy and the other a girl. Almost in the cradle, these children are betrothed by their parents. Later, the girl goes to Paris and the boy after living some time on the ranch goes to live with his father in a city in the middle west. The girl returns and expects to find her fiance waiting for her. They are to be married in a month. At the last minute the young man. chaffing under h nrnsnprts of marriage, decides to
have one month freedom and runs upstairs as the girl approaches, climbs out of the window and gets on the first train that leaves for anywhere West. When the girl learns this, she too, decides to spend her month of freedom as she wishes and gets on train to go to the ranch her father gave her. She takes her maid and the two change places, Helen becoming the maid. At this time the stranger. Larry, gets employment at the ranch of a man named McGinnis, which was immediately next to the one owned by Helen who is still posing as her maid

Bessie Barriscale will be the star at the Washington theatre for two days, commencing Wednesday in Monte M. Kattejohn's screen version of Harold MacOrath's sensational mystery story, "Madam Who," which created a nation-wide furore among readers of fiction last Fall when it was first published in a popular magazine. The scenes are laid in the South during the period of the Civil war. In "Woman and Wife," the Select Star Series photodrama adapted from "Jane Eyre," the immortal novel by Charlotte Bronte which will be shown at the Washington theatre next Friday and Saturday, Alice Brady rises to great heights in her delineation of the
unfortunate heroine. Ousted from the
home of the Reed3, the rich relatives
with whom she is living at the opening of the story, because of the young son's petulance, Jane Eyre i3 sent to an institution presided over by the cruel Mr. Brocklehurst Here she wins
all hearts, and luckily escapes from
its irksome confines when she secures
a position as governess to Adele, the daughter of Edward Rochester. MURRETTE The police of Chicago have been instructed to seek Minnie Wills, belle of Three Oaks. Iowa, who disappeared most mysteriously yesterday noon. Minnie is of medium height, has large, blue eyes, a winning smile and curly locks. This Is all the description the police have to work on for the present A photograph of her has been mailed. "Limousine Life" is the name of Triangle's production In which the disappearance of Minnie takes place. It is an adaption of the Red Book story by Ida M. Evans and one of the cleverest tales ever thrown on the screen. Minnie wasn't as innocent as she seemed and with the wisdom of the Serpent, and all the guile of the descendents of Eve she plunged into the maelstrom of city life and clipped the wings of one of the wealthy vultures to the tune of a good many thousands of dollars. It's a clean, wholesome story, zippy with action and snappy with situation. The picture will be shown at the Murrette
Theatre on Sunday only.

On The Boards
Mary Miles Minter has been given a splendid vehicle in her new play, "The Mate of the Sally Ann," at the Murrette Monday and Tuesday, which is one of the most interesting stories in which Miss Minter has yet been seen under Ameriean-Mutual auspices. The story is that of a pretty little girl named Sally who lives in the supposedly stranded hulk of an old ship with her grandfather. It is to humor the old gentleman's fancies that Sally figures as "The Mate of the Sally Ann" and by turns she plays the part
of every other member of the supposed crew.
Doc Hamilton, the patent-medicine quack, and Joe Malone, El Dorado's most successful failure, had quarreled over the division of their spoils. The stake was a rich mine which, until Edith Strang had signed the papers under compulsion, had been her birthright. Only the quack and Malone knew the secret. The light in which Walton beats the crooked miner and saves Edith's fortune is one of the stirring episodes in Triangle's Western drama, "The Medicine Man," with Roy Stewart in the stellar role. Manager Murray has booked this virile Western drama for
the Murrette Theatre on" Wednesday and Thursday. A woman is as beautiful as her thoughts. This is the belief of Mary MacLane, the famous authoress and
star of George K. Spoor s photoplay, "Men Who Have Made Love to Me," at the Murrette Theatre Friday and Saturday. "A beautiful woman is not beautiful every day. Physical beauty is controlled by mental chemistry alone. One is attractive only on days when her thoughts are beautiful. "If you know a beautiful woman w ho seems at certain times to be of less pleasing face, you may justly suspect that her mind has been harassed by unhappy thoughts. ' I have learned this to my own satisfaction. For, in reviewing my picture, I can easily see how my measure of attractiveness is regulated by the spirit of secenes in which I am appearing." PALACE "Vengeance And The Woman," is a serial of thrills, sensational in the extreme, cleverly conceived and splen
didly filmed which appears at the Palace Sunday. In these days of magical camera work and extraordinary stunt performances by agile gymnasts, a melo-drama which can make the spectators fairly gasp with excitement as they (watch a serial unfold upon the screen must be something far out of the common. Yet this is exactly what the latest Vitagraph offering in this line produces In each successive reel. From the first scene In court when "Black Jack" takes his oath of vengeance against the man responsible for the capture of himself and his band, to the moment when Blake goes hiirtliner to Rppminelv inevitable death
down the precipice, the atmosphere Is vibrant with suspense and almost painful expectation. The escape of the bandits, the flight of the runaway engine, the capture of Bessie, her escape to the mountain peak, the fight of the outlaws with tSe sheriffs posse, all these incidents
In San Francisco, George V. Hobart's modern morality comedy drama of today "Experience" has been one of the greatest successes in years and it is called by the critics the most
wonderful play in America. The
clergy of San Francisco attended in a body to see "Experience" and gave the play their hearty endorsement. It is approved by the Catholic Movement and endorsed by Protestant ministers and Rabbis of the Hebrew faith. In the East, "Experience" was also a sensational success. The company is one of the largest that has ever made a transcontinental tour and has a cast of eighty-two noted players. The engagement at the Washington theatre will be for two days and commences Monday night. Febrhuary 18th. It ran for nine months in New York, five months In Boston, in Chicago for 6even months and broke all records for attendance in San Francisco and Los Angeles. A daily output of 3,000 tons of coal near Wilson, Md., is planned by Pennsylvania coal operators, who have purchased 3,350 acres coal properties near
that town.
