"The Purple Lily," the new WorldPicture which on Sunday will be seen at the Washington theater, has .a number of notables In the cast , Howard Kyle, of the Actor's Equity Union, takes the role of "The Curue." Mr. Kyle, who has long been prominent In theatricals, decided to get some actual working experience in the motion picture industry so as to be of further aid to the Actor's Equity Union members who are working .In pictures. Clay Clement, son of the famous Clay Clement who endeared himself to the hearts of so many people by his stage Impersonations, is also in the cast, appearing in the role of "Frank Farnsworth," Frank Mayo, son of another famous older time actor, is also in the cast. He is seen In the role of "James Caldwell." With Kitty. Gordon as the star and this cast of real actors it is evident that "The Purple Lily" constitutes one of the best-acted plays seen on the screen in some time. It is seldom inded that a motion picture cast actually achieves the honor of being an "all-star' but such is the cast which was chosen to support young Wallace Reid in his newest Paramount photoplay, "Nan of Music Mountain," which will appear on the screen of the Washington theater Monday and Tuesday. Theodore Roberts. Raymond Hatton,
Ann' Little, James Cruze Charles Ogle, Guy Oliver, Horace B. Carpenter, Henry Wodward and Ernest Joy are among the well-known players appearing in this production, which was directed by George H. Melford and the scenario of which was arranged by Beulah Marie Dlx ' from Frank ESpearman's story which appeared recently in "Everybody's Magazine" 1n serial form. "I am one actress around whose bonnet no Sarah Bernhardt bee is buzzing, but I am immensely pleased with the change from the light to the more serious side of the drama." This was the reply of Madge Kennedy, the charming Goldwyn star, when she was asked how she regards her transition from the lighter roles of "Baby Mine." "Nearly Married" and "Our Little Wife" to her melodram
atic portrayal In "The Danger Game; her latest Goldwyn production.
Evidently Miss Kennedy was feling
"just so" when she concluded the In
terview, judging by x the way she scampered from the Goldwyn studio
offcie to the stage set for the final
scenes In "The Danger Game," at the Washington theater next Friday and
Saturday.
"Manager Heller of the Washington theatre has another Artcraft triumph for his patrons In "The Rl3e of Jennie
CuBhing," the Washington Wednesday and Thursday, the title role of which ' Is played by Elsie Ferguson. Miss Ferguson enjoyed the distinction of being one of the few really great stars who had -turned a deaf ear to the call of the camera, notwithstanding the fact that her youth and world.famous beauty, together with her superlative dramatic ability, made her an Ideal . subject, . and she had been persistently besieged by motion pic
ture magnates with fabulous offers..
She capitulated to Adolph zuKor, wno is presenting her photoplays through the Artcraft Pictures Corporation.

MURRETTE "Woman and the Law." the William
Fox photo-melodrama based on the in-, ternatlonally sensational DeSaulles do- j
mestlc tragedy in New York uity, wm be shown at the Murrette theatre on Sunday and Monday. This picture is the culmination of the discussion begun when a New York society woman killed the man who sought to deprive her of her child.' R. A. Walsh, renowden for the production of "Carmen," "Regeneration" and "The Honor System" directed it, and the picture was turned out with the usual Fox disregard of tny expense' that would add to its effectiveness. The man has married a beautiful South American heiress, taken her to New York and a child has been born to them. Then he neglects her for the brilliance of Broadway beauties till she la forced to obtain a divorce. He takes her child, and driven mad by losing her little one, Bhe kills him. Then a Jury is forced to decide the
question which has perplexed man-
glnd for centuries: ' i ; "Are there provocations whloh Justify a woman to kill?" " Raymond B. West, director of "Those Who Pay," the new Thomas H. Ince seven reel dramatic production In which the talented emotional artistic Bessie Barriscale is starred, has been affiliated with the forces of Thoiras Ince for a number of years. The. production in which Miss Barriscale will shortly be seen on the screen of the Murrette theatre next Tuesday ahd Wednesday, will rank as one of the strongest dramatic subjects produced In months and has brought new laurels to Mr. West. William Fox's spectacular feature film. "Cleopatra" In which the screen favorite, Theda Bara, plays the title role, comes to the Murrette for three days commencing TI. day, May 23, after a mo6t successful run in New York. The estimated cost of the pro
duction, which is said to be one of; very unusual magnificence is $600,000,
almost a king's ransom having- been spent on the famous star's costumes. It is a film that has attracted enormous audiences wherever it has been shown and Miss Bara is said to present a picture that outrivals in splendor and sensuous appeal anything that the real Cleopatra may have attempted. One of the dramatic features of the picture is the battle .of Actium, the first great naval battle ever filmed
In which eighty ships are : sees and later burned to the water's edge. The entire production Is founded -on history, every authoritative source having been consulted to make it accurate. 1..'

'When Blaze arrives in Paragonia he finds the republic In a ferment.- The old Presidente has been deposed by the treachery of Salza Espada, minister of war, and his family la imprisoned In their home. Alberto de Castillo, one of the supporters of Castalar, meets Blaze, In the guise of a match seller, and warns him of the troublous state of affairs. After some difficulties, during which he enlists the aid of one Harold White, an American negro, Blaze succeeds In haying an Interview with Juana on the ' balcony of her room at midnight. She tells of the desperate plight of her father, who Is
