WASHINGTON

Barbara Castleton, who has made a big hit in a number of other World productions, is starred with Johnny Hlnes in the new World Picture, "What Love Forgives," which will be dhown on Sunday only , at the Washington theater. Appearing with the itars in this production is a notable cast, headed by John Bowers and Muriel Ostrtche. Mr. Bowers has a role In which he ie seen to particularly fine advantage, and Miss Ostriche has a forceful part, which she handles splendidly. "What Love Forgives" has been Riven a very superior staging, and from all viewpoints it proves up as one of the very best and most entertaining attractions of the year. Norma Talmadge. the beautiful Select star, will be presented by Joseph M. Schenck in her latest Select Picture, "The Forbidden City." at the . Washington Theatre on Friday and Saturday. This Is a Chinese story by George Scarborough. The scenario is by Mary Murillo and it was directed by Sidney A. Franklin. The story begins when Wong Li, a Chinese mandarin, learns that his beautiful daughter, San San, has married secretly John Worden, a young officer attached to the American Consulate. He spirits San San away during her husband's absence, and Worden is never again able to find her. As Wong LI has been in disfavor at the royal court, he offers San San to

the emperor. The emperor accepts his 1 daughter, but when he learns that San San has given birth to a half-American baby girl he orders both Wong Li and San San killed. The baby, Toy, i saved. Mae Marsh has what is probably the most sympathetic role of her career in "Hidden Fires," her latest Goldwyn Picture, which comes to the Washington theatre beginning Wednesday. "Hidden Fires" depicts the story of

a hotel newsstand girl, who, because of her striking resemblance to a betrayed society girl, is induced to take the other's place at home and In society In order to spare the life of a mother who grieves for the daughter. Peggy Murray (Mae Marsh) becomes Louise Parke, and as such enjoys the mother love and the riches that were rhowered upon the missing girl. Gaby Ueslys. the fascinating French dancer, once the star of the Broadway success. "Stop! Look! Listen!" returns to America In a wonderful cinematic presentation of Marcel L'Herbier's "Infatuation." It is the story, not of a woman of the fashionable world, but of a humble flower worker, who rose from poverty and temptalion to be the adored dancer of the gay French capital. And an unusual twist the woman who was the flame becomes herself the fluttering, helpless moth. "Infatuation" Is a six-reel Pathe Special Feature and will be shown at the Washington theater on Monday and Tuesday. In It Gaby has a strong emotional role, which she interprets with surprising strength and power. Also, dops she wear some new and

wonderful hats and costumes over vhich the designers and modistes worked for three months before the

big picture wns put into production. MURRAY Paul Perry has achieved a camera triumph In the making of "Such a Little Pirate," Lila Lee's second Paramount Picture which is being 6hown at the Murray theatre today. The scenes aboard the pirate ship, and on

the island where little Patricia Wolf und Itory O'Malley go to find the hidden treasure, are exceedingly well filmed. It was Paul Perry who photographed Llla Lee's successful first picture, "The Cruise of the Make-Be-

lieves." George Melford directed

Such a Little Pirate," and Claude

Mitchell assisted him.

In "'The Girl of My Dreams' charming Billle Rhodes makes her initial bow in a feature production, and proves her right to the title of star. Miss Rhodes has long been labeled a commedienne of no mean ability, but now she demonstrates what she can do along serious lines and enacts appeallngly the role of a pathetic little mountain girl who is buffeted about in the unkindllest fashion until fate and the scenario writer come to her rescue like fairy godmothers with an Interesting will and the man of her choice. "The Girl of My Dreams" Is a six part feature an extra reel being needed to show Billle's legs in a variety of moods. Those who have become acquainted with Billie's legs through the Strand comedies will admit that they are worth an extra reel or an eye or two for that matter. Billle also poses after the fashion of September Morn, and this is the big point to the plot. It seems that a prying individual with a camera caught Billle as she was coquetting with a mountain pool minus her clothes, and he puts the picture on display at his club, hoping to create a scandal. It turns out that the man is the girl's long lost father, however, much to, his own chagrin. Of course, this turn quite prevents the picture and the pose from being naughty, however strenuously they had labored in that direction. At the Murray Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

MURRETTE. What a grand and glorious existence life would be If we could only look into the future and mould our lives as is done in "Why I Would Not Marry," the William Fox production which opened at the Murrette theater last night. The play concerns a man who was willing to put his daughter on the auction block of matrimony to further his own interests. An excellent all-star cast is seen and in addition to a real evening's entertainment the play teaches a moral. It will be shown again today.

Filming "Arizona" is a radical change In the Fairbanks policy of stories, but it was suggested by Augustus Thomas, the author, and Douglas Fairbanks, respecting the latter's judgment, decided to adapt this wellknown play to the screen. It will be

shown at the Murrette theater next

Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. Needless to harp on its dramatic qualities. "Arizona" Is an American stage classic, and judging by the enthusiasm that Douglas Fairbanks displayed during the filming of the picture, it promises to be an American screen classic. An exceptional cast has been engaged to play the principal parts, and technical director James P. Hogan spared no pains in his settings. Mr. Fairbanks plays "Lieut. Denton," a part that has all the charm and qualities in keeping with the well known Fairbanks personality. The outstanding feature of the hypnotic state is the unquestioning obedience and docility with which the hypnotized subject, believes, and acts in accordance with every command or suggestion of the hypnotizer. This absolute sway over the thoughts and actions of another may well lead to fearful consequences In the hands of a conscienceless master of hypnotism. Indeed, one such case is already know where a beautiful young woman under this magic spell was forced to wed a man she actually hated. This case forms the gripping

theme of the William Fox drama, "Buchanan's Wife," at the Murrette theater Wednesday and Thursday.

The admirers of Pauline Frederick, the beautiful Paramount star, will be much interested in the announcement that her latest photcplay, "A Daughter of the Old South." will be shown at the Murrette theater next Friday. Miss Frederick portrays the role of a Creole girl in this splendid photoplay which was written by Alicia Ramsey

and Rudolph de Cordova, and her char

acterization i3 said to be essentially different from any which she heretofore has essayed in motion pictures. As Dolores, in this pictures. Miss Frederick delineates in- captivating

Bad Luck Followed Only Mystery Ship of American Naval Force

(By Associated Press) PARIS, Jan, 11. Misfortune and 111 luck followed the American navy's only mystery ship, the ill-fated Santee. When the American squadron arrived at Queenstowntjand began to cooperate with the British fleet, the exploits of the British mystery ships fired the Imagination of American officers and men alike. The Americans wanted a mystery ship and were so insistent that Admiral Sims took the matter up with Admiral Bailey and the British admiralty willingly assigned to the Americans a magnificent new decoy ship which was just completed in one of the ship yards of the south of England. It was a handsome freighter in appearance, larger than the average mystery ship, with its periscope masked by a smokestack and with torpedo and batteries so skilfully concealed that a trained eye could not discover the real nature of the craft, even at close range. Captain David Hanrahan was assigned to command the ship, which the Americana christened the Santee. There were hundreds of volunteers among officers and men for the hazardous service the Santee was about to undertake. No ship ever put to sea with a braver or more determined crew. Full of confidence and high hopes, the Santee started for the Irish channel to bait German submarines. The stars were shining brightly the first night the Santee was out and she loafed in the hope of attracting the enemy undersea craft. Exactly at midnight, without the slightest warning the Santee was struck amidships by a torpedo which tore a tremendous hole in her and completely disabled her engines. She immediately wirelessed her plight and part of the crew put to sea in small boats. Like all other mystery ships, the Santee was filled with wood and could not sink. Her gunners stood ready to unmask the batteries and fire upon the German submarine but the German did not show itself. All night long the Santee watched for the enemy. For thirty-six hours the portion of the crew still on the Santee kept

in hiding, hoping the enemy would appear, but in vain. A slow tug was summoned to take the Santee back to the shipyard in the south of England. She was dragged through the submarine zone at two miles an hour in the hope of inviting further attack but without results. The canny German evidently had full information about the ship and save it a wide berth. ; It took many months to repair the damage by the well placed torpedo, and the submarine campaign was off before the Santee was able to make another trip. -
