WHBBHBDamaMia V, WASHINGTON Nazimova, who is called upon to do some palm-reading in "Toys of Fate," the Screen Classics' de luxe feature, which will be presented at the Washington theatre today and tomorrow, really has a deep knowledge of this art. Palmistry has always had a keen fascination for her and she has studied it with great interest. The great actress believes that le and character are clearly depicted in the lines of the hand. When every one in the company learned of this gift of Nazimova's, she was beseeched upon all sides to "read my palm." MURRRETTE. The Murrette theatre announces that it will have another splendid William Farnum de luxe production to offer next Monday and Tuesday. The play Is called "The Man Hunter," and was written for Mr. Farnum by his director, Frank Lloyd, whose genius put on celluloid such photoplays as "Les Miserables," "A Tale of Two Cities." "When a Man Sees Red," "Riders of the Purple Sage," and "The Rainbow Trail." This photoplay has scenes on land and sea. It is certainly a thriller and gives Mr. Farnum exceptional opportunity to show his fine dramatic ability. It is a case of from riches to poverty with many stirring incidents In the decline and fall and the "comeback." This picture is awaited with peculiar interest because not only has Mr. Farnum never made a poor picture, but his pictures are always satisfying. MURRAY. Some time ago Priscilla Dean, Universal Special Attraction etar, made a fiat denial of the stories that have been printed concerning her engagement to Captain Eddie Rickenbacker, America's famous ace, who has just returned with twenty-six downed Hun planes to his credit. "My friends mistook my sturdy friendship for 'Rick' for a romantic love affair," Priscilla declares stoutly. "Rick and I are just pals, that's all. We had a solemn pact when he went away, but wedding bells did not figure in it. It was for war work. Rick has sure done his bit winging the Teuton airplanes, while I am trying to do my bit here in America, by appearing, as a modern Joan of Arc in 'The Wildcat of Paris,' a stirring war drama built around the battle of the Marne, selling Liberty bonds, appearing at Red Cross benefits and adopting both an army and navy fighting unit. I have denied this story three times now and I don't see whot gives it such a remarkable lease on life. I am sure it is very embarrassing both to Captain Rickenbacker and myself." Miss Dean is now vacationing between the completion of "The Wicked Darling," which comes to the Murray Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, and her next story, which is being prepared under thedirectlon of Director Tod Browning.

The latest aspirant to the title of trans-Atlantic pioneer aviator is Clifford B. Prodger, the British experimental flier who recently flew from Ireland to England carrying mail and passengers. The machine used was a huge Handley-Page four engine type, similar to that which he intends using on his flight to these shores. The flight from Ireland was made at a Bpeed of one hundred miles an hour. Although Prodger is making his preparations for the flight with all possible speed, it is considered likely that Hugo Sundstedt, the Swedish aviator, will be the first to actually attempt the trans-Atlantic air journey. Sundstedt will start from the American side. The London Daily Mail has offered prize of $50,000 to the aviator who will be the first to fly across the Atlantic ocean. Other-prizes totalling $60,000 have been offered.

ANNOUNCEMENT TO' THEATRE PATRONS - - ' ' ' : ' : , Interesting and considerable importance to lovers of the best in moving pictures will be the announcement that the Washington Theatre has just completed installation of the "Simplex Machine," with the famous "Extra-Lite" Shutter. This improved machine assures our patrons of the maximum in perfect picture projection and assures Washington patrons absolute protection against a fire, and has1 the endorsement of the National Association of Insurance Underwriters.

With thi3 new scientific invention, all flicker is eliminated and a brighter, yet more "restful" effect is obtained. The equipment is identical with that placed on the "George Washington," the ship that carried President Wrilson and his party to the Peace Conference. Tests by foremost experts and critics have proven this newest invention an achievement that marks the greatest progress and development in the business since the first invention of a motion picture projector. With the "Simplex" it is possible for a greater amount of light to reach the screen than with other projectors as it has a carrying capacity that insures a strong, clear picture.
