WASHINGTON "At the Mercy of Men," Alice Brady's latest Select Picture, will be tfce feature attraction at the Washington theatre today. It Is a thrilling stor depicting the life In the period before the revolution when the Czar still held his throne, although the masses were murmuring revolt. The photoplay, however, involves only indirectly the political upheaval. Two stars appear In the newest World-Picture. They are Madge Evans and Johnny Hines, and the name of the picture In which they appear is "Neighbors." It is a delightful production, and the Washington theatre is happy to announce that it will show this picture on Sunday. "Neighbors' Is a story of a small New England town. It is a love story, but the central figure is Clarissa, who is superbly portrayed by Madge Evans. Johnny Hines is a young man who is in love with Clarissa's slater, and the role gives him the opportunity for the
display of the laugh-making talents

The next addition to the li?t of notable characterizations of Mary Pickford will be Bret Harte's western masterpiece, "M'llss." In the title part, "America's Sweetheart" la the untutered child of the hills, caring for her dissipated father, and gradually succumbing to the refining influence of the new school teacher, but the trend of the story is far from being passive. 'Supported by an excellent cast of players, Miss Pickford's characterization in "M'llss" will doubtless rank as one of the best she has essayed 6lnce "Tess of the Storm Country." "M'llss" will be seen at the Washington theatre next Wednesday and Thursday, and an exceptionally production is assured.

A fight that violated none of the boxing regulations of New York state
was "pulled off" at the Metro studio
in connection with Viola Dana's photodrama, "Opportunity," which will be
the attraction at the Murray theatre on Tuesday next. ''Opportunity" Is ai
screen version of Edgar Franklyn's
novelette of the same name, which originally appeared iu the All-Story
Weekly. It has been directed by John
H. Collins.
Not a cent was charged for admis
sion, even to the "ringside" seats, in
this contest before the camera, and the antagonists were amateurs. A preliminary bout was fought between Willie Jerome and "Kid" Murray, to the satisfaction of the four hundred persons present aa actors and spec
tators, but the real piece de resist
ance was the star bout between Joe
Kearney and Bill McGarry.
Mr. Eltinge, the well known feminine Impersonator, who has recently finished his second Paramount photo-
Play, "The Clever Mrs. Carfax." the
first one having been "The Countess I
