MURRETTE. The Uvea of Francis X. Bushman and Beverly Bayne were endangered while they were acting In scenes for "Social Quicksands," a Metro AllStar Series picture, which will be offered in tho screen at the Murrette theater Tuesday. The company was working along the banks of a river at the foot of a high cliff. Just above this location, a gang of men were clearing land to build a tennis court for a well-known millionaire, on whose estate the Metro Company was working. The workman used blasting powder to remove some rocks and exploded a rather heavy charge which caused a shower of boulders to rain down on the Metro players, many of the missiles narrowly missing the 1 screen favorites. Peggy Hyland, the William Fox star, who will be seen next Wednesday and Thursday at the Murrette theater in "Other Men's Daughters," has a smart dog. Miss Hyland admits it and can prove it. For "Jackpots" is ever ready to do his tricks before company. Recently when Miss Hyland was asked by a visitor at the studio if her whole heart was not In England, she declared that while she loved the land ' of her birth, her two years here made her love America just as much. "Why, even 'Jackpots' will show you where our hearts are,," she added. Then Miss Hyland began to sing "God Save the King" and waved an English flag. "Jackpots" sat up and barked joyously. Soon the pretty star began to sing "The Star-Spangled Banner," and waved the American flap. "Jackpots" still sat up and barked louder than ever. Mary Miles Mlnter, the screen's most popular ingenue, cast as Sylvia Grant in the latest American-Mutual production, "Powers That Prey," at the Murrette next Friday and Saturday, Is given a peculiarly happy role. Miss Minter has been seen 'usually in such characterizations as were designed to emphasize the laughing, happy, girlish habit of the star, and there have been few instances in which she has appeared under circumstances demanding that she take the initiative in important events. In "Powers That Prey," Miss Minter is cast as the daughter of a newspaper editor beset by "Powers That Prey." She assumes' control of the paper in her father's absence and "throws the boots" into his traducers until they scream for mercy.

Miss Minter plays Sylvia Grant with thoroughly convincing power. She is at home in the part.
WASHINGTON If war's needs deprived hotels and restaurants of waiters and kindred workers there is one motion picture star who wouldn't deem it a hardship. She is Mae Marsh, who "dines out" very little. Besides, "the whim girl of the screen" has demonstrated in several Goldwyn Pictures that cooks and waiters are not essential to her happiness. Her culinary ability is exploited in her latest Goldwyn Picture, "The Glorious Adventure," at the Washington theatre tonight. Miss Marsh has the role of Carey Wethersbee, a Virginia girl, who, after the death of her aunt, decides to see the world. She travels to a mill town and orders a cabman to drive her to the finest house in town. She enters but gets a cool reception from the owner when she, a total stranger, informs him that she has decided to make her home with him. Her action stuns him, but he finally relents and permits her to stay, provided she cooks her own meals and eats them outside the dining room. Here's a picture with everything in it that you want to see in a photoplay. Its title is "Tinsel." It is the latest World-Picture. It was filmed from a story by Fred Jackson, the famous writer of many popular stories and novels. Kitty Gordon is the star. She is supported by Muriel Ostriche and Frank Mayo, and a brilliant cast of film favorites. It 13 a modern story with an unusual theme. It will be shown on Sunday at the Washington theatre. Wallace Reid, the popular Paramount star depicter of western types, who recently was seen in "Nan of Music Mountain," is to star at the Washington theatre Monday and Tuesday in "Rirnrock Jones," from the novel by dane Collidge, and directed by Donald Crisp. "Rimrock Jones," is a prospector who, at the opening of the story, finds himself in hard luck through the designing efforts of Andrew McBain, a canny Scotchman. The latter has claimed Rimrock's mine by unearthing a long forgotten law to the effect that the holder of the apex of a mine can claim the whole. McBain stops at nothing to accomplish his ends and even goes so far as to try to steal another mine from Rimrock. How Jones finally "wins out with the help of pretty Maray Fortune, makes a i thrilling and realistic photoplay. J. Warren Kerrigan will be seen on the screen of the Washington theatre Wednesday and Thursday in his latest Paralta play. "One Dollar Bid," which is a screen adaptation of Credo Harris' romantic novel of the Kentucky hills which was published a few years ago under the title of "Toby." The stor.y offers exceptional opportunity for the kind of work in which Mr. Kerrigan has achieved his foremost successes. Early in the action of the play, he Is seen as a young man of refinement who has sunk to the lowest ebb, cast aside by the whites, he lives in a negro hut, no one knowing or caring who he is or from whence he came. As the story dei velops, he rises under the influence of j a girl of high Ideals until at last he becomes 'one of the dominating fac tors of the town which had shunned him as an outcast. MURRAY The movie program at the Murray for the coming week is composed of many of the finest plays in the movie world. For Sunday and Monday. Theda Bara will appear in the William Fox production, "The Soul of Budda." You are no dougt familiar with Miss Bara to the extent that you know the play will be ably acted. Tuesday only Edna Goodrich appears in the Mutual. De Luxe production, "Her Husband's Honor." Wednesday and Thursday, Charles Ray, in the Paramount production, "Ths Hired Man," and on next Friday and Saturday, wo take great pride in presenting Fritzlo Brunette and the famous Tom Santchi In "The City of Purple Dreams."

excellent movie program, Miss Winegart and Vertner Saxton will offer the latest songs of the day. PALACE. When Thomas H. Ince introduces his famous star, William S. Hart, to patrons of Artcraft pictures, he will depict a bit of life in the now silent Barbary Coast. In "The Narrow Trail," which will be seen at the Palace on Sunday, Hart has the role of a Western highwayman who. ventures into a typical "honky-tonk" of a decade ago, and the motion picture audiences will see presented with graphic vividness the sensational features of night life that made, this particular section of San Francisco notorious the world over. Also Charles Murray in a good roaring Sennett comedy. LYRIC Despite the onrush of the German army, Louise de Ciron refuses to leave her chateau and the sector around it is Boon occupied by the enemy. Col. Rudolph von Knorr is leader of the troops that occupy her town. Rudolph makes love to Louise but she spurns him. Capt. Fritz von Meyring, of Col. Ton Knorr's company, atacks Louise while she is unconscious. Rudolph kills Fritz. Louise believes Fritz died in attempting to save her from Rudolph. She stabs Rudolph. Then she's sorry and nurses him back to health. Love dawns. Louise's brother, Paul, a captain in the French army, is told that Louise is in love with Rudolph. He sends a note to Louise telling her he is ill and to hurry to him. The ending is a pleasant surprise too good to be told in advance. A story splendidly enacted at the Lyric Sunday.

Very eften he has spoken of his family and especially of his mother. He seemed also very fond of his sisters. He is a good boy, very jolly and a good character. He was loved by everyone that made his acnuaintance, very polite with extreme delicacy. My husband invited him one evening to take tea with us. We were happy to show him a little affection and he wa? appreciative. He left us about the nineteenth of June, promising to write us and if possible, three or four months hence, to come and srend his leave of absence with us. We received him, dear madame, like one of our gocd friends or like a member of our family. "I know that the division had the sympathy of all the inhabitants and it merited it. The poor boys come so far to defend our dear France. "I hope, madame. that you will have the kindness to write me a word although we do not speak the same language.
