INCIDENTS FROM "THE FIGHTING ROOSEVELTS" AT WASHINGTON

WASHINGTON

When you see "The Fighting Roose-

velta" at the Washington theatre.

starting tomorrow, as the authorised

version of the life and works of Col

onel Theodore Rooaevelt, you will wit

ness a life history enacted with sur

prising fidelity to facts, and portrayed

by actors whose likenesses to the famous men of Roosevelt's political life

are startlingly realistic.

j Such celebrated Americans as Pros- ' ldent McKlnley, Mr. Roosevelt of the days when he was New York's police

commissioner, when he was a member of the New Tork state legislature and later as assistant secretary of the , navy, and finally as president. Admiral Sims in the days when he was a junior lieutenant in the navy. General John J. Pershing at the time when he ranked only as a captain. Major General Leonard Wood early in. his military career, and many other men whose names are written large in the political and military life of the country, are represented by actors whose resemblances to their prototypes are almost Indistinguishable from the original characters themselves. When Constance Talmadge comes to the Washington theatre on Friday and Saturday In "Who Cares?" in which she is presented by Lewis J. Selznick. patrons of the screen will have the opportunity of seeing the best Constance Talmadge picture that has yet appeared. She is seen in the role of Joan, young, happy and . carefree, living alone with her grandparents, who have both forgotten the word "youth." In a house nearby lives Martin Grey, who has come down to his country house to grieve over the death of a dearly loved father. Joan and Martin meet and for many . wonderful days they laugh and play together. Then one day Joan Is dis-

because they can grin, too. Their

newspapers can even Joke about the gravest hardships. s,i'"V Mickey, a lonely waif, with all cir

cumstances against her, proves that her endurance triumphs only because it Is supported by her own natural appreciation of the humor of situations. She knows how to separate the petty from the really big things in life, and how to laugh away the small while accomplishing the great things.
