WASHINGTON Little Nedda Trevor met her ideal ii a peculiar manner. When a little girl eho was knocked down by an automobile. Then, when it was found she was unhurt, she went auto riding for the first time. A remarkable romance started from this Incident and the 6tory is delightfully told in "Heredity," a new World Picture. Ax the years went by Nedda never The story deals with the struggles later the man of her dreams came hack when Ehe most needed him. Barbara Castleton is the star in this picture. Barbara Castleton in "Heredity," will -o shown on Sunday at the Washington Theatre, and you are advised to see it. It is a story that Is true to life, probably enacted in everyday life, but never has been produced in this manner. Her face kept him from falling in love with other girls and his wristwatch forbade her from marrying a rich man. The picture is unusual, the star is great and the cast is composed of stars. If you have ever enjoyed a picture, you will surely like this. Uncle Snm as a showman has scored his firot hit of the season, and his batting percentage to date Is 1.000 per cent. "Pershing's Crusaders," the big United States government war feature has packed every theatre in New York and other large cities where it has been shown at every performance. The successful debut of Uncle Sam ns a motion picture manager is due undoubtedly to the patriotic desire on the part of everyone to see exactly what the government has been doing in the war. "Pershing's Crusaders" is practically a motion picture history of 'fhe year that has elapsed since the United States declared war on Germany. It is a picture that finds an active response 'n every home where there is a father, mother, wife or sweetheart c a soldier. The big production is being distributed by the First National Exhibitors' Circuit, Inc. At the Washington Monday and Tuesday.

"The Whirlpool," Alice Brady's latent Select Picture, adapted for the screen by Eve Unsell from Victoria Morton's popular novel of the same rame, will be shown here at the Washington theatre on Friday and Saturday ns a feature In her Select Star Series, r.tl promises to surpass even the ' -?t of Its predecessors. rgot the dream of her heart.

His thefts lead him iuto court where Judge Reverton. because of Brcttnor's youth and previously One record, suspends sentence. "There's no such thing as a consistent business woman," says Mabel Normand, who ought to know, for she comes to the Washington theatre today as the star of Goldwyn's "The Venus Model, in which she stands at the helm of a prosperous business and steers it to success. "By that I mean no girl ever forgets herself completely in the responsibility of business as men do," the star went on. - "She is a woman first ot all, and I have never seen one that didn't remain so, no matter how important her work in the business world might be. Her clothes, her manner, her little .vanitifs all proclaim ber

as men do." MURRETTE . Supported by a highly efficient company of players, Dorothy Dalton, the beautiful Thomas H. Ince star in Paramount pictures, will be seen in her newest vehicle, "The Mating of Marcella," at the Murrette Theatre next Sunday and Monday. This is an absorbing story of a pretty modiste's model, who becomes involved in the plot of a frivolous society woman for divorce and alimony, and who, by a queer twist of fate, marries the intended victim of this plot. The scenes carry one from New York to Nevada, and all of them are highly artistic. Many of the scenes for "No Man's Land." a screen version of the novel of that name by Louis Joseph Vance in which the Metro star, Bert Lytell, will be seen, were taken on the beautiful island of Catalina, California. Thio picture will be seen at the Murrette theatre on Tuesday, and the won-

! derful beauty of the scenery will be

noted. The entire company, with Mr. Lytell and Anna Q. Nilsson, his leading woman, remained on the island for some weeks wh?le the picture was being made and some F.plendid results wore nrbivrt Tt was. thp wildpr nnrtion

and Katherine Lee, Via the great white sheet of canvass, are the only gentle influence to enter the lives of thousands lives lived under hardening influences. The exhibitor brings to him therefore, the gospel of a better life. To be seen in "Doing Their Bit," at the Murrette Theatre Wednesday and Thursday. To portray the character of a. Russian gypsy girl, passionate and impulsive, yet sympathetic and loving, is no light task, but in "Her Final Reckoning," Pauline Frederick's new Paramount starring vehicle, a highly artistic characterization is presented. Miss Frederick, who will be seen in "Her Final Reckoning" at the Murrette Theatre next Friday and Saturday, plays two roles in this picture, one that of her mother, the other, of herself. She is a Russian gypsy who is eagerly sought after by all the men of her acquaintance, she being wealthy and the natural daughter of a Russian nobleman. She has a dark secret In her life, the disclosure of which is provocative of numerous thrilling incidents, but all ends happily.

Two Orphans" has been remade and retitled by Mr. Fox and far snappier than when it was first released.

When Pierre Duval, the French soldier, finds Lazare, the correspondent, through whose perfidy Duval was sent to prison though innocent, there is staged one of the greatest rights ever seen on the film. This takes place in the 1918 version of "A Soldier's Oath," which is being shown at the Murrette theatre, and William Farnum plays the role of Duval

No hero or heroine of mature years has ever annexed the interest of the screen patron as have diminutive Jane and Katherine Lee. To book a Jane and Katherine Lee play is equivalent to arranging a public reception. It has been said in the book revered, "A little child shall lead them." Assuredly Is this true in the instance of the screen as well as otherwise. Jane

MURRAY The world famous comedy scream, Byrne Brothers' "Eight Bell3." will be shown today at the Murray theatre. This picturized version of the gTeat comedy success that had everyone in the United States laughing for fifteen years, is even funnier than the stage production. "Eight Bells" is a laugh riot. It is inm-packed with startling situations that are astonishingly funny. It bubbles over with laughs and smiles and snorts and snickers. If you want to know more about it "Ask Dad He Knows." Dad went to see "Eisht Bells" when the Byrne Brothers were presenting their great attraction on the stage throughout the country and he laughed and yelled with delight at the trick doors, remarkable acrobatic feats and fun in this big laugh offering. Theda Bara in the 1918 version of "The Two Orphans" is to he the big attraction at the Murray theater next Sunday and Monday. "The Two Orphans" will win the applause of millions of motion picture goers. Miss Bara has never failed to give splendid entertainment. In "The Two Orphans" she plays the part of a girl who is not of the vampire type, and she establishes for herself a separate place in pictures. "The

In the portrayal of virile characterizations, which appeal by their convincingness and power, Charles Ray has few equals among the younger cinema stars of the present day. In his forthcoming photoplay, "His Own Home Town," which was pro

duced under the supervision of '

Thomas H. Ince, Mr. Ray has another vehicle, which seems destined to add to his stellar laurels. It is a strong story written by Larry vans, and it has to do with the fortunes of a young man of high ideals, a powerful political boss, who dominates a small interior city, and other elements which combine to make the production one of more than average attractiveness. How Mr. Rav. in his imnersonation

! of Jimmy Duncan, succeeds in smash

ing this corrupt ring .thereby winning the respect and admiration of his townsmen, not to speak of the love of a beautiful girl, is charminkly told in "His Own Home Town," which is to be displayed at the Murray theater Wednesday and Thursday. The snows of the far North beneath the arch of the Arctic circle, form many of the handsome natural settings of "Tyrant Fear," the new Thomas H. Ince picture in which Dorothy Dalton is the star. The story of the photoplay is one of primitive passion unloosed and a woman's fierce struggle against fate, with her ultimate triumph after she has once thrown off the shackles of fear. Miss Dalton portrays the role of a young woman, who is sold by her inhuman father to a brutal Canadian trapper. After subjecting his childwife to miserable ill treatment, he gambles her away to the keeper of a notorious dive in a gold settlement, where she lives uncomplainingly, the

victim of an in-born fear of men and things. One day, however, in struggling with the wretch who owns her, she summons up enough courage to shoot and wound him, and instantly, her repressed courage drives forth the fear that has obsessed her since childhood, and she is transformed into a fullgrown woman, strong and fearless. She has been befriended by a dissipated pianist of the dance hall, who is regenerated through love for her, while she in turn has placed her heart in his keeping. The two escape and after finding the body of the brutal husband lying in the snow, a new and happier existence for both dawns for them. At the Murray theater next Friday and Saturday.

TULLE HAT POPULAR FOR RESTAURANT WEAR

22,000 ' 'BOBBIES" NOW ON STRIKE

LONDON, Aug. 31. The strike of London police spread steadily throughout the night and early today a majority of the 22,000 constables had joined the movement. The city of London police joined the Metropolitan forces last night and only a few members of the night shifts, which come on duty at 6 o'clock, appeared on the streets. London is customarily the most thoroughly and efficiently policed of all the great cities of the world, but one might walk for miles today without the sight of the familiar helmet and blue uniform. Comparatively few special constables, responded to the call to take the policemen's places and as a consequence the city is practically unguarded. That London is one of the most orderly cities is proven by the absence of the policemen from their beats.
