WASHINGTON. Rex Beach bids fair to add lustre to his famous name when "Too Fat to Fight," newest of the Rex Beach Pictures produced for Goldwyn, comes to the Washington theatre Wednesday and Thursday. He will surprise his . sublio with a drama of purpose and -4 patriotism rather than of Alaska and Mhe West It tells the story of Norman Dalrymple, former football star, played by Frank Mclntyre. who Is now a mountain of flesh, and much to Ma sorrow, too fat to fight. Turned down by every branch .of the service, "Dimples," as he Is called, succeeds in joining the Y. M. C. A., and serves his time at passing doughnuts and carrying coffee for the doughboys until he finds himself in a fix from which he emerges, a hero. Patrons of the Washington theatre will welcome magnificent Kitty Gordon In the big United Superplcture, "Adele,' which will be seen here Monday and Tuesday. The famous stage and screen beauty will be seen as the brave and lovable American Red Cross Nurse who in the path ot duty meets her life's romance, as she ministers to the wounded in France. The story

Is that of a Louisiana girl and Is believed to present the actual adventures of the author, Adele Bleneau, from whose widely-read book, "The Nurse's Story," the play is picturised. The story fascinates with Its thrill, swift action snd suspense and presents Kitty Gordon In a novel phase of artistry. A nurse's charming costume serves as a refreshing counterpart to the richness of dress which adorns the fashion-setting star In the earlier part of the play and reveals this popular actress in unusual and appealing attire. Mahlon Hamilton, artistic and popular leading man, plays opposite to Miss Gordon. 4 Marion Davies. the celebrated stagebeauty of Follies fame makes her Se--Jft-t debut In the appealing title role rf. "Cecilia of the Pink Roses," produced under the expert direction of Julius Steger and adapted for the screen by S. M. Weller from Katherine Haviland Taylor's novel of the same name. The unusual story has been booked by Manager Gruenewall for the Washington theatre on Friday and Saturday, and this delightful young star will be seen In a role far removed from anything she has ever done on the stage, interpreting the sympathetic character of the spiritual young heroine in a manner which gives assurance of a successful motion picture career. These dramatic moments, pathetic . Incidents, and shining love scenes quicken the pulse throughout the great human drama in which you meet Cecilia, the little girl, acting the good angel to her crude . father and her misguided brother, the simple priest whose goodness spreads like sunshine over the gas-house district the unsympathetic principal of the girls' school, narrow-minded children of the idle rich, the "climbers," the settlement workers and the real man who wins her. Louise Huff and Johnny Hines who are extremely popular wherever motion pictures are shown, are seen together In the new World Picture, "Heart of Gold." which on Sunday will be shown at the Washington theatre. This story is an unusually interesting one. It deals with a nation-wide contest for the purpose of securing the best design for a dress, and it gives Miss Huff one of the best roles of her f career. Mr. Hines has one of the parts that he handles so well, and these famous film favorites are supported by a cast of notable excellence, Including such players as Grace Barton, Marion Barney, Anthony Merlo and others. Scenically. "Heart of Gold" Is exceptional. It has some extraordinarily beautiful and interesting scenes. MURRAY Miss Dodo Bernard, the very attractive young woman who portrays the role of Beauty In "Experience," coming to the Murray Theatre Saturday, February 1, when a little girl was a resident of Philadelphia. Her mother taught her, as do all good mothers of the Quaker City, teach their little girls how to sew up a seam, to cook, to bake, to sweep and to put the house In order, so they will make good housewives when they grow up. Being an actress, of course put a stop to many of these occupations, but one thing she was taught when she was a little girl she never forgot and that was the making of delicious fudge that sweet crumbly confection so much loved by girls and many of the sterner sex. During her travels she invariably made up large batches for the members of the company she was playing with and her fudge is well known to thousands of theatrical people. . MURRAY Harry Carey and his flock of hardriding cowboys are In town. That can't be true, you say, because the reserves are playing checkers at the sta

tion-house and you met the chief racfog home to lunch on your way down-

I tcjwn.

V, -Then Cheyenne Harry turns wrecker and stirs things up. - - -v. 'Go to the Murray theatre on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday and see Harry Carey in his most delightful photoplay. Henry' Walthall, the brilliant young actor whose work on the speaking stage has made -. his name famous from one end of the country to , the other In human Interest stories, and whose screen career Includes the "little colonel" In "The Birth of a Nation," has a splendid role in the National Film Corporation's six-part production "And a Still Small Voice," released through the Ehlbitors' , Mutual Distributing Corporation.

REX BEACH'S TOO FAT TO FIGHT WA. FRANK KFINTYRE Coldufun Release m 1 The only way they can be stopped is to throw the - leader. This the hero of the story does successfully for the first time in the history of pictures. It is an inspiring sight that will make you tingle with excitement. There is also a delightful romance. Nearly all the scenes of this remark able photodrama were taken at Prescott Ariz. Isn't that a typical tiUe? "String Beans"! And it is also quite appropriate for the efforts of a sharper to swindle a gullible lot of farmers with a fake cannery project for beans is the basis of the story, which will be seen at the Murrette theatre on Friday and Saturday. It is a Thomas H. Ince picture released by Paramount. These facts, coupled with the declaration that Charles Ray is to star and. that sweet little Jane Novak Is his leading woman ought to attract record crowds. There Is a fine, cast, and the story is one of those real country town dramas with lots of humor and human interest and a great character role for Charles Ray. The efforts of a swindler to get the confidence and coin of the gullible natives of a small town on a. string bean cannery project form the basis of the plot. The Btory is said to be highly amusing, full of human nature and containing a pretty romance. Tully Marshall, who plays the important role of "Wilkins in "Too Many Millians," the new Paramout picture in which Wallace Reid is starred at the Murrette Theatre today, is one of the best known character men in motion pictures. He will be remembered for his excellent acting in "We Can't Have Everything" and other recent Artcraft Pictures. In "Too Many Millions" he plays a financial agent who absconds with forty millions just when the hero of the story is beginning to "PICTURES THAT EXCEL"
