Mabel Normand is back at her old

tricks In her newest Goldwyn picture, "Peck's Bad Girl." which comes to the Washington theatre beginning on Wednesday. For years the staid old village of Yaptank has been both e mused and shocked by the pranks of Mabel Penelops, (Miss Normand). There are but few of the villagers who haven't been the victims of the irrepressible Mabel's little jokes. Cyrus Gordon feels the sting of her hatpin while his tooth Is being extracted at the dentist's; Adam Hobbs, Yaptank'a fattest citizen, is talking to Sue Mason, the village belle, when suddenly all of Adam's 270 pound3 is sprawled on the sidewalk, Mabel having tied her dog chain to Hobb's cane, and then whistled for the dog. ThfTft are several excellent comedians In "His Wife's Friend," the splendid new Paramount-Mack Sennett comedy which is on view at the Washington theatre Wednesday and Thursday, all of who mare famous in screen comedy. They are Charles Murray, Wayland Trask, Harry McCoy. Gonda Durand and Phyllis Haver. All have congenial parts in this comedy, the result being a riot of fun for the spectators. The Washington theatre has booked on Friday and Saturday "The Savage Woman," presented by Clara Kimball Young and her own company, which fhows this celebrated star in the role of a young girl brought up in the jungle. Renee (Clara Kimball Young) Is mistaken for the reincarnated queen of Sheba, while wandering about the ruined palace of the dead queen. A native prince desires her for his bride but Is blinded for a moment by flashes

from her mirror while, she makes her escape. Fleeing from one man, she is caught by another. Lerier, a French explorer shots her, and binding up her wound, falls in love with her dusky beauty. PALACE Thrilling scenes feature "Hell Bent." a Universal masterpiece of the big west. Harry Carey, ' as Cheyenne Hary, Is the star.

nhio nlotures ever displayed in this

.itv No exnense from the stand

points of artistry and photography was nnared to make it the finest of its

class and in these respects it is un

That is what life in the trencnes means, according to Private Peat, who will be seen In his realistic war photoplay "Private Peat." a superb Para-mount-Artcraft special picture, at the Murray theater next Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. The photoplay is a splendid picturization by Charles Whlttaker of "Private Peat." the book published by Bobbs-Merrill company and which has met with enormous sale all over the country. Do you want to witness the dastardly German spy at his secret trade? Would you like to follow a particular specimen of this genus along his devious path of hidden plotting and guilty intrigue? An excellent way to fortify oneself against his machinations is to view his infamous methods as set forth in the patriotic Fox film drama. "Marrlaises Are Made." This great

I panorama of Hun deviltry and its suc

cessful mastery enecuvei ucmuustrates what every loyal American preparation and brains are more than a match for the German spies in our midst. At the Murray Wednesday and Thursday. MURRETTE T wnrrpn Kerrigan's versatility was

never better displayed than in his latest picture, "Three X Gordon," which will have its initial local showing Sunday, Monday and Tuesday at the' Murrette theatre. Kerrigan has been pretty much of every sort of a hero, and he has done about all sorts of screen acting too, but in "Three X Gordan" he will reeval a talent as a comedian that has not heretofore been made known. In "Three X Gordon," Kerrigan is seen in his happiest moments, with a never fleeting smile on his lips, even when he faces the darkest days he has ever experienced. Kerrigan's personal contribution to the picture lifts It high in the list of comedies of the better sort. "Carmen of the Klondike," which will be the attraction at the Murrette theatre for three days, commencing Thursday, is without a doubt the Lest screen drama dealing with life in the great silences of. the Northwest which has been been produced. The story, which is thrilling and gripping, with suspense running throughout, concerns the adventures of a Middle West vaudeville favorite, a part portrayed by Miss Clara Williams, who deserts her theatrical career to go to the Klondike region of Alaska and seek her fiance, Cameron Stewart, a young attorney, who has gone before her to establish himself.

"The Country Cousin" with Alexandra Carlisle playing the stellar role comes to the Murray, matinee and night, Saturday, Dec. 21. This comedy Is precisely what ex-President Roosevelt called it "a first-class American play." It reveals in amusing fashion the best and worst traits of our compatriots. Booth Tarkington and Julian Street are the authors of "The Country Cousin." They have told the story of a young girl in an Ohio, town who. anxious to see life,

leaves home and mother and joins her

father, who has been divorced by his wife and married again. The girl has an inheritance of her own and does not realize that this Is the main reason why her father . and his spendthrift wife are so anxious to enter

tain her. When Cousin Nancy arrives on the scene things are in pretty bad shaoe and the girl's money is going

rapidly. Nancy, however, is equal to the occasion and things begin to happen. There are several strong dramatic climaxes In the play as well as humorous situations and . the story

holds the Interest from start to fin iah. .

Miss Carlisle, has invested the role

of Nancy Price with attractive sweet

ness. Associated with her ana unaer

the direction of Klaw and . Erlanger and George C. Tyler is a large company of competent players, chief among them are Alfred Lunt, Genevieve Tobin, Grace Hampton, Helen Holcomb, Julia Stuart, Nina Herbert, Jack Crosby and others.

Miniature Musical Comedy

at the Murray Theatre . "Take Your Time" is a magnetic miniature musical comedy built for laughs. The company is headed by Billy Purl, a comedian who is excruiatingly funny as Dan Rockley. Miss May Reilly as Miss Rockley possesses a' rich contralto voice and as a Valeska Surett type is stunning In her gowns. Mr. Shy, who plays the Count, sings and adnces admirably and the Tobasco Sextette, a richly costumed and smart looking chorus of well

trained dancers helps to make this act one of the classiest ofits kind. Elaborate scenery is also carried, suggesting interior castles by the eea. At the Murray, opening Monday, December 16, matinee, for five days.

Reverence Shown to Lusitania Victims BREST, Dec. 14. A thrilling moment aboard the U. S. S. George Washington was when the vessel passed the spot where the Lusitania was sunk. President Wilson and all men on board bared their heads. For several minutes all aboard kept reverently quiet, sending silent prayers heavenward prayers of thanks to Him, who steeled America's arm in avenging her dead.
