Francois Curel's "The Savage Woman" ("La Fille Sauvage") adapted for the screen by Kathryn Stuart, will be shown at the Washington theater todav, presented on the screen by Clara Kimball Young and her own company. Renee (Clara Kimball Young), daughter of a derelict trader, now dead, is mistaken by a native prince for the reincarnated spirit of the queen, who once dwelt .within the ruined palace where he first catches sight of the girl. Frightened, she prevents her capture by flashing a mirror In his eyes and making her escape. She flees through the forest and is mistaken again by another man, this time for an animal, and he fires at her, wounding her slightly as she turns again to flee. Lerler bathes the wound and commands the girl, whom ho nees is afraid of him, to lead him out of the forest

"Come in," she called, "and throw up your hands." A man entered the room, a tantalizing smile on his lips. "Don't shoot," he said. "I am a bold, bad burglar, but I won't hurt you." There's a thrill in every scene of "Kiss or Kill." the smashing Universal Special Attention in which Prisctlla Dean will appear as the star at the Murray theatre on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, with Herbert Raw.

linson in support. Tom Mix, the daring screen star, added a new triumph to his credit recently, when his latest release, "Fame and Fortune," was shown. This will be shown Wednesday and Thursday at the Murray theatre. Built around a theme truly western, "Fame and fortune" teems with action that will satisfy even the most ardent film fan. The play is pervaded at all times by the figure of its hero, who does

startling things in a perfectly natural and plausible way. Tom Mix, by the way, is one who is capable of unusual feats, both when he is on horseback and when he if not, but he always gives the impression that they are perfectly reasonable and proper things to do. Ethel Clayton, the charming Paramount star who is seen in her second

starring vehicle, "Women's Weapons," !

at the Murray this week, has an excellent role in the portrayal of which she evidences indisputed artistry. The picture is in every way charming and evokes admiring comments from each successive audience. James Forbes, a young bank cashier of Wattelvllle, was unfortunate enough to get into the toils of Eastern crooks who fleeced him at poker. It is rumored he used money belonging to the bank to make good his losses. However, the crooks were captured in the act of robbing the bank, through instrumentality of Nora, a waif, who came into town in a box

car. The whole affair was hushed up and the young man and the girl whe apparently saved him are to be married. That Is romance with a vengeance and proves that the Middle West still has its exciting experiences. This is a brief synopsis of the plot of "What Do We Eat?" a new picture by C. Gardner Sullivan, starring Enid Bennett and produced by Thomas H. Ince for Paramount It will be seen at the Murray theater today.

MURRETTE After many successes on the vaudeville stage, Evelyn Nesbit comes to the screen in the compelling William Fox photoplay. "I Want to Forget," which will be the feature of the Murrette Theatre for three days beginning Sunday. Miss Nesbit'a own beauty is world famous and this remarkable story gives her unlimited opportunities to show her capabilities as a dramatic star. Sessue Hayakawa, the noted Japanese screen star, In his new play, "The Temple of Dusk," made by the Haworth Pictures Corporation and released by the Mutual, has 'a dramatic role that arouses sympathy, admiration and holds lntrest. The picture revolves about a story of Japanese devotion to ideals that is forcefully told. Murrette, Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

WASHINGTON Tom Moore's world of admirers will find him more delightfully entertaining thn Bvpr when he appears as a

Coldwyn star m "just lor loiugui at the Washington theater beginning Ynlnt'f.day. Goldwyn could not have obtained a better medium for introducing the popular screen player as cne of its famous group of Btars. "Just for Tonight" tells the story of a man who. in his adventure-filled quest of love, is confronted by situations that would have balked a less determined person than Theodore Whitney. Jr. (played by Tom Moore). "Good Night. Paul!" Constance Talmadge's latest Select Picture in which she is presented by Lewis J. Selxnlck in a screen adaptation of the

musical comedy success or me same name and directed by Walter Edwards will be seen here an Friday and Saturday at the Washington theater. It Is a wholesome comedy-drama of the type this young talented star Is rap-; idly making her own, with the humor predominating; there is a laugh in VAr fnnt of film, heightened now 1

and again by a moment of suspense or

a tnrimng suuauun. I A laugh In these trying days is the : best health tonic known to mankind.) That is why "Tide and Seek. Detectives," the new Paramount-Mack Sennett comedy, featuring Ben Turpin, Charles Lynn and Marie Prevost is to be a feature of the bill at the Washington theater Wednesday andj Thursday. J "The ero Hour" is the title of the xiew June Elvidge picture, which on Sunday will be shown at the Washington tlieatre. This World picture Is certainly a different sort of producttion. it is unique in more respects than one, and it keeps the audience guessing to the very last as to the outcome. Miss Elvidge plays a dual role In this production. She Is seen as Fanny Craig and as Evelyn Craig, twin sis. ters. During the picture she is seen in some of the longest and most successful double exposure work ever projected on the screen.

Miss IiOis Weber, producer of "For

Husbands Only," which comes to tne Washington theatre Monday and Tuesday, tells the following story as Indicative of the tendency of children to notice details as closely as their elders in connection with the photoplay art: "The other night I was at the Snperba theatre, where The Price ot a Good Time,' was being shown. On one side of me sat a little girl about six years old who was with her parents. "'Mama, only people who are well play in the pictures, don't they?' whispered Mary. " 'Certainly, no one else can do so, Mary." replied the mother. "'Then why is it that sick man Is playing in this picture all the time?' , "It only goes to show how observing the little ones are." MURRAY. She heard a slight brushing noise at the window. In horror of marauders, she grasped a revolver from the table and leveled it in the direction from which the noise had com- .
