JOINS NAVAL RESERVE

Lawson Blaine Thompson of Winchester, has enlisted in the naval reserve as landsmen electrician, radio, and was eent in Saturday to Indianapolis for final examination

many vicissitudes they meet and are reconciled. MURRAY Edith Storey, the 6tar of the Metro picture, "The Eyes of Mystery," which will be the attraction at the Murray theatre on Monday and Tuesday, delights in playing athletic roles on the screen. "I feel that my role of Carma Carmichael in 'The Eyes of Mystery, is very well suited to me," said Miss Storey in an interview. "I just love the type or role that gives me opportunities to wear 'sport' clothes and be a real red-blooded athletic girl who rides, swims and shoots. I love the great outdoors which develops the girl of Individuality and 'go-to-it-iveness." In this new photoplay, Miss Storey is able to do all the athletic stunts which she enjoys. She makes a thrill ing escape on horse-back, and being pursued by a man in a row boat when she ridea across a stream, she has a terrific struggle in mid-stream with her pursuer. In other scenes she shows her ability with a gun when, with the aid of a few men, she defends the historic "House in the Mist" from a host of half-crazed Virginia mountaineers. "The Eyes of Mystery" is replete with thrills. MURRAY Edward Jones, a salesman of Bibles and religious books, has fled from the town of Matherville, Illinois, following the discovery that he had been selling whiskey under cover. Such was the

character of Ed Jones, white-collar salesman, who deluded poor little Mary Lane into a marriage in Triangle's picture, "Old Hartwell's Club," to be shown at the Murray theatre tonight. This picture features handsome "Bill" Desmond and Marry Warren, dainty film flower, as she has been called by admirers of her spiritual beauty. One of the most effective introductions that any photoplay has had is found in Jewel Carmen's absorbing drama, "The Bride of Fear," which will be shown at the Murray theatre on Sunday. The picture holds the interest from the very first flash on the screen. The film opens with a view of a flickerins gas jet. A woman's hand is seen stealing slowly, hesitantly, toward it. The camera follows along the arm and discloses the face of the owner. It is a beautiful girl living in a hall bedroom. She is despondent, tired. Her expression is plainly that of one wearied of all things. The slender fingers reach for the burner. The light 1s turned out. Then she turns the gas on again but this time it is not lit. j This dramatic situation, so frequent-

ly the climax of a story is merely the beginning of "The. Bride of Fear," a gripping tale with a smashing finish. MURRETTE A "Modern Loselei" at the Murrette tonight is presanted with a splendid cast headed by Tyronne Power who is known wherever stage and screen plays have been shown. His fine work and impressive personality helped make Lois Weber's "Where Are My Children?" the success it was and his virile acting in "The Planter" stands out in that feature strongly. In "Lorelei" he takes the part of Paul, a seal fisher and gives his usual strong delineation of a strangely sympathetic character. The girl Frances is in the hands of pretty Frances Burnham, a little blonde whose work under the director, Henry Oto, is a revelation. Opposite her appears good looking Jay Belasco whose face and acting Is so wel known in the Christie comedies. This will be his last appearance in a feature play for some time as Jay is going to fight for his cquntry. What is the ultimate province of the cinema has been a matter of never ending discussion. Every time a film producer offers anything unusual in the way of a picture there is a temptation on the part of the critics to say, "This, at last, is the ultimate of the screen." Unquestionably this will be said of "The Honor System," William Fox's latest triumph in film production at the Murrette, Sunday and Monday. Intense melodrama, the grip of human emotion, the tug at the heartstrings, this is the ultimate province of the screen. In this respect, in that it tells the greatest human story ever told, a story that gets right down to the bedrock of human emotion, "The Honor System" marks a distinct advance in the history of the cinema. Marks Distinct Advance. In "The Honor System" virtue finds itself in that immemorial conflict with the forces of evil that the historic stage of Drury Lane so often has witnessed. It is in its setting, in its wonderful portrayal of types, in its swift movement that the spoken stage never

can hope to approximate in its accu

racy of character portrayal and In its intense modernity, that "The Honor System" is supreme. In these respects it may be said to mark a distince advance in screen art. The story is laid among the timely scenes along the Mexican border. The border foray is pictured In all of its thrillng interests. The spectator can see the hordes of Villa sweeping down on helpless Columbus, the terrified citizens, the hasty organization for defense, the daring ride for assistance, the dash of the mounted re-enforcements, the final repulse of the invading bandits. Minor thrills there are without number, each gripping in its intensity, but nothing equal to this "big thrill," for the very good reason that never has it been equaled on the screen "The Honor System" is as vivid as a battle picture. It is as up to date as a New Pictorial.

WASHINGTON With the greatest cast ever assm

bled for stage or screen, "Masks and

Faces" is coming on Sunday to the

Washington.hreatre. It was only be

cause this superb production was made

for a war charity that it was possible to gather this great assemblage together for a picture. When it was

determined to make the picture it

was decided that there must be no cast prejudice in other words, no one of the actors selected should be

at all backward about playing any of

the parts, no matter how small they might be. So, for this reason we see

the most accomplished actors playing minor parts with skill and understanding and giving to the whole presenta

tion a finish which it would be impossible to attain any other way. Heading the Cast is Sir Johnston Forbes- Robertson, the greatest living exponent of the art of acting. He is seen In the role of Triplet, the smuggling poet, who is befriended by Peg Woffington, the famous stage beauty. The role of Peg is portrayed by Irene Vanbrugh, one of the most' accomplished actresses and stage beauties ever seen In any r production. Others appearing In the cast are Gladys Cooper, the reigning English stage beauty, Winifred Emery, Gertrude Elliott, .Viola Tree, Stella Campbell, etc. The story told in the picture Is from

Charles Reade's famous novel, and it is splendidly interesting and entertain

ing from start to the finish. t

Sessue Hayakawa, the well-known Japanese screen actor, a cast of supporting players, and his director,

George H. Melford, recently spent eev

eral weeks in Chinatown, San Francisco, where they made the exterior scenes for Hayakawa's newest Paramount picture, "The Call of the East." This was written especoally for Sessue Hayakawa by Beulah Marie DIx. "The Call of the East" is to be shown at the Washington theatre on Monday. Mary Pickford is a scrub-girl, her mother is a washerwoman, and her brothers are newsboys. She has refused an offer of marriage from a

gilded society youth, and is going to marry a bartender. Not in real me, of course, but in "Amarilly of Clothes Line Alley," an Artcraft picture, which is declared to

be the most amusing photoplay she has ever appeared in. "Amarilly of Clothes Line Alley" will be shown at the Washington theatre on Wednesday and Thursday.

hiOOhL GIRLS LQQK Here's An Opportunity to Become a Movie Actress 11 On the Banks of the Wabash" is going to be filmed soon and a girl from Richmond is wanted for one of the leading roles.
