WASHINGTON. At the Washington Theater today will be shown a film production second In Importance and timeliness to no 5ther seea this season. It Is Mary Garden in. "The Splendid Sinner" by Kate Jordan. .The powerful story depicts life as we eee It today, and the locale ranges from New York and Its environs to the battlefront of France. Miss Garden is seen as a dominant figure In the smartest set of Bohemia and as a Red Cross nurse. As Dolores Fargls she is a woman who puts behind her the hectic, hollow life she has "ed for years and, against the promptings of her better judgment, marries Hugh Maxwell, a young physician, who is ignorant of her past. Charming Alice Brady will be seen Tomorrow at the Washington Theater in "The Trap" a surprising and very interesting and entertaining picture, charming Alice Brady will be seen tomorrow at the Washington theater. This production is a World Picture and it has some of the most beautiful, unusual and pleasing seashore scenes ever seen in pictures. You will like ::The Trap" and you will make a mistake if you don ot see it. Winsome Vivian Martin, who is appearing at the Washington theater on Monday and Tuesday in the Paramount picture, "The Trouble Buster," Is known around the studios as .Miss

Merry." This is because or the unlimited supply of good cheer which Miss Martin invariably carries concealed on her small person. "The Trouble Buster," which wa3 written for Miss Martin by Tom Forriau, a fellow actor and an author, brings every bit of fun and lovableness of which Mlsa Martin is capable and proves that its name was well chosen, for it is guaranteed to dispell any a very dramatic story of very real life." Louise Glaum's Introduction to the world of screen amusement as a Faralta star is made in a play that will startle the country by the mighty combination of interest elements which it' presents. Her first Paralta Play is "An Alien Enemy," and it will be shown at the Washington theatre for two days, commencing Wednesday.

since he gave world, and the

"Civilization" to the initial release of the

newly organized U. S. Exhibitors' Booking Corporation will be shown at the Murrette theatre Wednesday and Thursday. "The Zeppelin's Last - Raid," the story of which, written by C. Gardner Sullivan. 13 based upon the growth of the democratic spirt of revolution in Germany and . forecasting the overthrow of Kaiserism, is the first motion picture in which the central figure is a Zeppelin. CHARLOTTE BEFORE CAMERA At the Murrette next Friday and Saturday. Charlotte, who occupies the same position in the realm of artistic skating as Pavlowa in the dancing field, is to be featured by the Commonwealth Pictures corporation in a screen drama of . war and , wartimes written by Bob Lee and produced under the direction of Oscar W. Eagle and Cortland J. Van Dusen. The play

with excitement. The story concerns the machinations of spies who are attempting to secure a gun owned by a government at war. The hero is, as a matter of course, the inventor of the gun. He has-it hidden away in a remote part of a wild country, but his secret hiding place is discovered by the villain, and after this there is a thre9-cornered battle of wits between the hero, the villain and the heroine and the latter is the person of Charlotte. MURRAY William S. Hart did not find it necessary to take lessons from genuine Indians when he was cast to play the part of a quarter-breed Cree in "The Dawn Maker," to be shown at the Murray theatre on Sunday. Stored

that is marvelous In its 6trengtn. mai does not permit the interest or the suspense to lag for the shortest second, and the unusual appeal of absolute timeliness with the world situation. There is something almost uncanny about the way the picture parallels the actualities of this and foreign nations, although the influence of the most virile fiction makes the film unsurpassable in dramatic value. Miss Glaum appears in the role of "Neysa von Igel." and American born, but German bred girl, who has been isolated from all outside influence since early childhood and educated by the Wilhelmstrasse to the belief that Germany is almighty. She is even made to think that she is a German bv birth. When she reaches the prop-

sent to America as a.

member of the Intelligence Depart- j ment under command to devote her; life. If necessary, to aiding the downfall of this country. But, in the United States, another power, the indescribable human emotion which is born within the soul, begins to play its part in the governing of her career From this point forward until the final scene, the picture is tense with emotion and strong situations. The demand upon Miss Glaum for the utmost in dramatic acting is imperative and the remarkable manner in which she conforms with it, places her on a par with the greatest players of both screen and stage. PALACE "The Business of Life," the Vitagraph Blue Ribbon Feature, which will be the attraction In the Palace theatre on Sundav is a powerful drama adapted from the novel by the same name by Robert W. Chambers. It is the story of the young business girl who loves so strongly that she will not hear from her accepted one the story of his past and trusts to him to decide whether they shall marry. Alice Joyce, in the stellar role, is clven exceptional opportunity to use her great emotional talent and he Is supported by the following ell known Vltagraph players: Betty Blythe, Walter McGrail. Percy Standing. Ternpier Saxe. Mrs. Nellie Spauldlng. and Herbert Pattee. The picture is directed by Tom Terras. MURRETTE Mary Martin, who plays the role of Margaret Jn the big William Fox picture "The Heart of a Lion." at the Murrette Sunday and Monday, always roes to the theatres which first show her photoplays, to see for herself how her work "gets over" on the screen When one of her former Fox successes opened at a New York house Miss Martin was in the audience. At her first entrance on the screen, she heard a young girl sitting beside her pay to another girl. "Oh, isn't she sweet? The companion agreed. Then, throughout the action of the picture, the giddy young things continued to make much ot the work of Miss Martl Let Miss Martin continue the story: "Both girls were so adorably enthusiastic and extravagant in their outbursts that I couldn't resist an impulse. So I leaned over and said .very quietly. , " ! thank you.' "Of course, they were startled for the moment. Then I laughed, and they recognized me. And we all three started in chatting. "They had a hundred questions to ask me about pictures, but I was game and answered every one." Revealing in motion pictures for the first time the secrets of the Zeppelin by which Germany is -waging ruthless warfare upon the allies on the west front. "The Zeppelins Last Raid," Thomas H. luce's first great spectacle

puzzle of this strange enigma as to how the United States Secret Service kept so closely in touch with his plans and he is relying upon reviews of the motion picture pt tell him. , In , the meantime, those who have come In contact with him are searching for an answer to the question "Who ia Franz von Rintelen, that the German Government thought him worth twenty-three distinguished British war prisoners?"

No one

LYRIC should miss

the brilliant

William Fox photoplay, "For Liberty," which 'is at the Lyric Sunday afternoon and night. ' X This play is quite the greatest of its kind that has ever been presented on the screen. It is a wonderful story of a woman's love, set in the midst of war, the scenes taking place in Berlin at the time America' declared war. In this maelstrom a young American woman is caught but the affairs of her heart are not overcome, ven by, the

strife.' . - .--Miss Gladys Brockwell does brilliant! work in this drama, as the leading fig ure, and nothing that she has done before can compare with it. It gives an idea of the terrific conditions thati

attend war which no otner picture nas i

done. As a clear-cut, thrilling photoplay. It is of the very highest order, and it has a love Interest in it that KOlds one throughout.
