Youth and beauty triumph over sham and suspicion in "The Kingdom of Youth." Madge Kennedy's Intensely thrilling and modern Ooldwyn picture, which comes to the Washington theater beginning Wednesday. The charming star has a role particularly suited to her remarkable comedy and dramatic talents. The picture tells the story of a truly loving couple, torn with suspicion by jeaousy; of a scheming middle-aged woman, who seeks to win the love of a man half her age, and who is later exposed in all her falsity by the beautiful young woman she has tried to separate from her husband. The latest Paramount-Mack Bennett comedy. "Whose Little Wife Are You?" which will be shown at the Washington theater next week, is said by reviewers to be a scream from start to finish. The best comedians of the Sennett studio, not to speak of beauties, appear in the production, the result being a carnival of fun throughout the action. AHa rtrndv will he seen at the

Washington theater next week in her sensational screen success, "The Ordeal of Rosetta." her latest Select picture, written by Edmund Goulding, scenariolzed by Paul West, and directed by, Emlle Cbautard. The story of the play concerns the adventures which befall Rosetta and Lola Gelardi. the twin daughters of an aged professor whose home in a Sicilian village is destroyed by an earthquake during which Lola is buried by the falling debris. Hoping against hope that Lola escaped the disaster, the professor and his surviving daughter come to New York, where Rosetta supports them both by learning stenography and securing a position in a typist's agency. While there, she is called upon to deliver a manuscript to the office of a theatrical manager; an artist who happens to be present Is struck by her beauty and gets her to pose for him. He makes a sketch of her face, but, unknown to her, uses it to top a risque figure on a poster advertising "The Frivolities of Nineteen and Eighteen." Were you ever caught in a "Love Net"? John Harding, a wealthy bachelor, whose heart has become cynical through long intercourse with alleged friends who liked him only for his money, becomes entangled In a love net woven by little Patty Barnes. Madge Evans plays the role of Patty in the new World Picture bearing the title of "The Love Net," and the role is one of the very best she has ever bad.

"The Love Net" Is a rarely delight-1

ful picture. It has heart interest, a pleasing fctory, splendid characterizations, a winsome star and superb settings. It Is a picture that appeals to everyono and that pleases and entertains everyone. The Washington Theatre takes pleasure in announcing that "The Love Net" will be shown Sunday only. Mary Kirk, poor but beautiful, would have been saved great suffering ana misery if ehe had not yielded to the urging of her sister, Louise, in "Borrowed Clothes," the charming six-reel Lola Weber production, which conies to the Washington theatre on Monday

and Tuesday, with Mildred Harris in the leading role. Louise was a manicurist, whose contact with society women had Instilled In her a longing to bask In the radiance of the opulence which dominated her customers. Therefore, when she noticed that George Weston, the unmarried partner of the firm for which Mary worked as a salesgirl, was In love with Mary and wanted to marry her, tihe (Louise) persuaded Mary to accept him, pointing out that such a marriage would bring wealth and social prominence to the Kirk family. Louise thought George was rich.

tortured Tlctims of their own conscience. The man's plan worked well too well, for he finds that. Instead of being the untrue wife his distrait mind believed her, she was far nobler than he, in his doubt and brutality, deserved. . Bessie Barrlacale, the Paralta star noted for her strong emotional talent and her versatility, as Dorothy Kingsley, the wife who lied, has a powerfully dramatic role that requires great subtlety. Those familiar with Miss Darriscale's artistry know that it is in Buch parts she excels. "The White Lie" Is a Parata play written by William Parker and showing Sunday. Monday and Tuesday at the Murray theatre. Bert Lytell, star of the Metro production "Unexpected Places" which will be shown at the Murray theatre on Wednesday is, in the opinion of Hans Ledeboer, the Dutch artist and sculptor, the ideal type of American manhood. Doris Kenyon, the winsome young screen star who will be featured at the Murray theatre on Thursday, Friday and Saturday in Louis Joseph Vance's story, "The Inn of the Blue Moon," has a commission in the regular army of the United States. She waa the second woman to receive this honor, the first having been the celebrated diva, Mme. Schumann-Helnk. Miss Kenyon's commission was given In appreciation of her enthusiastic and tireless work for the Liberty Loan and Red Cross. It is exactly similar to those of sergeants in the regular army, except that the word "honorary" precedes the designation. The commission, neatly framed, hangs in Miss Kenyon's dressing room in the DeLuxe studio in Mt. Vernon, N. Y. , MURRETTE The admirers of Billle Burke, the dainty Paramount star, who scored so heavily with "In Pursuit of Polly" recently, will be delighted with the announcement of Manager Holland, that he has booked "The Make-Believe Wife," Miss Burke's newest photocomedy, for presentation at the Murrette theatre next Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. This Is said to be one of the best pictures in which Miss Burke has been seen since her entrance into the field of the sliest drama. The support provided for Miss Burke is of the best. Her leading man is David Powell, a well known screen player. Jane and Katherlne L'ee, the Juvenile comedy stars, have gone to the William Fox studios at Hollywood, Cal. They have completed their last picture to be made in the East for some time, "Tell It to the Marines." The children were accompanied by their mother and by Arvid Gillstrom, their director. The move West was made in compliance with the request
