WASHINGTON . ; "Mrs. Leffingwell'a Boots." which l ;omes to the Washington theater on ' Friday, is Constance Talmadge's lat- . wt . Select Picture in which she is " presented by Lewis J. Selznick. - It is ' i bright and humorous story of Mr. tnd Mrs. Lefflngwell in which two' pairs of handsomely embroidered, slip- :;: fters play a prominent part and serve to make the jealous Mr. Lefflngwell believe his wife . is carrying on an : ; if fair with another man.

The trouble starts when Walter Huntley purchases a pair of slippers "or his. fiance. Mabel Brown, who breaks off the engagement before Huntley has time to give her the slip-

pers. Having no other use for them " he gives them to his maid. Mrs. LefFingwell buys an identical pair, and

R-hen Mr. Lefflngwell chances to pass by the window of Huntley's apartment and sees a pair of feet wearing the ! kllppers, he naturally thinks it is his 'I tvife in Huntley's room, and he had ; had occasion to be suspicious of Huntley on several occasions. Later Lef- ;, fingwell gets peeved when he sees a ;j pair Of slippers. But a maid explains the circumstance and the difference I Is patched up. ' Tom Moore, now an established . 'Soldwyn Pictures star, has a surprise production for his thousands of admirers in "Thirty a Week," the Goldwyn plcturlzation of Thompson Buchanan's successful stage play, which somes to the Washington theater beginning Wednesday. "Thirty a Week" brings out, as no otl?r- Tom ' Moore vehicle has, the many angles of the handsome, rollicking Irishman's talents. It tells1 the story of love finding ( the way to bridge the gulf that separates the. strata of a girl of wealth and society and that of a stout-hearted American; youth. Dan Murray (Tom Moore) Is a chauffeur for a millionaire Wall Street operator, whose daughter, Barbara Wright, is deeply in love with Dan, despite his lowly station. Her parents have arranged for her marriage with Freddy Ruyter, a man about town, but Barbara frowns upon their scheme. Knowing Dan loves her but fears to take the Initiative, Barbara smooths the way for him and they later elope. Later they become estranged but make up when the facts become known. Patrons of the Washington theatre will welcome Dustln Farnum in his big United "tfeature, "The Light of Western .' " which will be shown here Monday and Tuesday. This famous stage and screen star will be seen as Gene Stewart, ace cowboy of the southwestern border. With Dustln Farnum's virile, convincing talent and the moHt thrillingly fascinating of Zane Grey's masterly stories, the picture teems with exciting interest. . The plot deals with the adventures which arise out of Gene Stewart's wild

wager that he would marry the first Kirl who blew into the little western

,5 town. When he has carried out his ; wager further than he knew, and the I sirl proves to be the . sister of the rancher whose foreman Stewart Is, J things happen quick, and the audience ; swings between hope and fear right up to the final picture. In his staging of the production Charles Swickard .' has caught the author's wonderful inspiration. The photography is magnlf't lcently beautiful in subject and In execution. Winifred Kingston Is a fas--.-clnatlng leading woman and the eupport Is excellent throughout 1 Montagu Love, the famous and pop- - ular World Pictures star, will be seen ' here here shortly in his latest World . Picture, "The Rough Neck," an un- ; usual, vitally interesting story of a ; xeat city, a.-i its politics. The Washington haa secured this gripping proj ductlon for showing on Sunday only, and all those people who have admired Mr. Love's work in many other pictures will be more than pleased with his work in this, picture. ' The story is intensely interesting and is entirely true to life. It shows "I the Inside workings of a big city's politics and tells what happens when ', the son of the boss takes charge of ;: affairs upon his father's death and decides to make the gang who have ;,; been stealing from the city, restore that which they have stolen. As the young man is in love with the daughi: 1er of one of the politicians whom : he is fighting, the dramatic situation is very tense.

MURRAY. Fannie Ward,- though wealthy enough in her own right to retire for life, prefers what she calls the "youthening activity of work" and is most happy when she does, to good advantage, about sixteen hours of work out i of twentw-four in making cinema drama for Pathe's Extra Selected Star I Photoplays, of which "The Narrow I Path," an A. II. Woods production, jfrom his Broadway success, is one of (the latest. Miss ward believes in the self-supporting woman, and, in this story plays the part of an entirely channlng young wage earner. Murray Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. Of the many women noted for their

exceptional taste in clothes. Emmy Wehlen. Metro star of "Sylvia on a Spree," has richly gained the enviable reputation of being the "best dressed woman on the screen." Not only is Miss Whelen's taste exquisite but she has the unusual art of making her clothes look a natural part of herself. In "Sylvia on a Spree," which will be shown at the Murray theatre on Wednesday, this Beautiful star displays an entire new outfit her sport clothes morning and motoring costumes, dainty and delicate frocks of chiffons and silks for afternoon wear, tailored and more elaborate street clothes and evening gowns of the most beautiful description. Thomas N. Heffron. who directs William Desmond in "Life's a Funny Proposition," produced by Jesse D. Hampton and released through Exhibitors Mutual Distributing Corporation, has a long line of successful screen productions to his credit, notably "The Planter," an extraordinary photodrama of Mexican plantation life In which the eminent tragedian, Tyrone Power, made a brilliant screen success; "The Kentucky Schoolmaster," "Gentility" and ."The Sudden Gentleman," Triangle productions; and "The Return'" and "In the House of the Chief." produced for Selig. Mr. Heffron came to the films after a successful career as actor and producer for Mrs. Flake, William A. Brady, Augustus Thomas, A. II. Woods and Cohan and Harris, being known as a sterling actor of heavy roles, as well as a director of unusual originality and ability.," In "Life's a Funny Proposition," Mr. Heffron has' found a vehicle t grateful to his talent for stagecraft. At the Murray Thursday, Friday and Saturday."

Henry B. Walthall, who plays thf star role in "And a Still Small Voice," a new National Film Corporation play, makes the part of Clay Randolph, high-headed young society man who strays temporarily into the wrong path, a living lesson. At the Murray today. 1 Mr. Walthall is an actor whose work in sympathetic dramatic roles has- secured him a tremendous vogue among picture patrons. He has the rare ability to make his characters talk through his subtle mannerisms. In the new production released by the Exhibitors Mutual Distributing Corpor ation he plays the desperate lover, temporarily thrown off his moral balance . by the course of events, and does it so convincingly that despite a certain weakness of the character he plays he maintains throughout the sympathy and interest of his beholders. MURRETTE. When Roscoe (Fatty) Arbuckle starts out to do athletic feats of a startling character in any of his comedies, it is a certainty that humor will n mound in every situation. Hence it; happens that in his latest production, "The Sheriff," Fatty does amusin? athletic stunts which Douglas Fairbanks might be - proud of, not the least of which is his climp to the top of a church spire from which perilous post he holds a small army of enemies at bay. At the Murrette theater Friday and Saturday. iMr. Arbuckle is a western sheriff who has a fondness for motion picture heroes, especially Douglas Fair banks and William S. Hart. Toby Watklns is the all-around
