PUT ON A CRRUt0 record:

MURRETTE. It Is estimated that more than five million persona have witnessed the stage presentation of the Harvard prize play, "Common Clay," by Cleves Kinkead and produced by A, H. Wood, under whose management It ran for a full year In New York, with Jane Cowl In the stellar role. Six companies played It throughout the United States and Canada and It has the record of having made two trips from New York to the Pacific Coast. It has earned a tremendous amount of newspaper discussion and formed the theme of ad

dresses from hundreds of pulpits, because It has to do with one of the most vital of our social problems the proper rearing and care of The Girl, especially in large cities. Mr. Wood's screen production of this powerful romance, with all of the facilities that the camera offers for broader and more realistic treatment, will, it is said, appeal even more profoundly than the play itself. It will go straight to the heart and conscience of every woman who sees it, not only because of the story itself, but also because of the sure artistic Interpretation of it by a specially selected cast of players, including such .well-known names as Mary Alden. W. K. Lawrence, Helen Dunbar, Andrew Arbuckle, John Barrows, John M. Cossar, Tred Goodwins and Easter Walters. They give a flawless performance of the seven-reel Pathe special, which is shown at the Murette theater today. MURRAY. Jane and Katherine Lee, the Fox Baby Grands, have a new ambition. (They get a new one most every day). Tluy want to be airplane mall carriers. They got this idea after their first flight in an airplane In Loa Angeles during the making of their new production, "Smiles," which Is to be shown at the Murray Theater today. A flight by airplane is an incident of the story. It was not Intended that children should really make the fight; ,but after they were seated in the "machine a team of horses couldn't get them out. WASHINGTON How to be lovable though gawky was but one of the problems facing Mabel Normand when she began work on her first Goldwyn Picture made In California. As most people know, it was "Sis Hopkins," announced by the Washington theatre, beginning tomorrow that marked the sprightly comediennes return to the state she loves. But about the star's difficulties. "It would have been easy enough," said Miss Normand to a friend who visited her during the making of the play, "to make Sis a downright laughing-stock throughout the play. Yet I felt I couldn't do that, because there is much that is appealing in her character. Sympathy must not be withheld from the village cut-up because she never had what she called an 'education.' "So I have tried to make my heroine funny without being repellent through her awkwardness and outlandish costumes. This I think I have accomplished through the girl's love for her father, her willingness to do anything to ease his suffering and her utern disapproval of everything that is not right. Her keenness, too, in seeing through the lofty pretensions of Miss Peckover, principal of the seminary, will show my audiences that Sis Is not altogether lacking in perception. "Anyhow." Miss Normand finished with a Jump toward her director in response to his call. "I do hope so." Oh, for the good old gallery days when we used to sit in the front row and curse the villain as we wept for .the heroine! How we did thrill when the heroine was tied to a log in a saw mill and the big buzz saw set agoing! And how we reviled the scoundrelly wretch who sought to deprive the heroine of her darling che-ild! Those happy days are gone to return no more, alas! All this has been made the basis of a delightful Paramount-Mack Sennett comedy, "East Lynn With Variations" which will be shown at the Washing-

Ben Turpin, the great comedian whose only defect Is ocular distortion of retinas, and who has the fixed habit of looking two ways for Sunday, is the chief funmaker In this comedy, but he is ably assisted by Charles Lynn and Marie Prevost. The comedy is clean, wholesome and thoroughly enjoyable.

Hundreds were turned away at the stage production of this famous play when it was presented in Richmond. It is the great modern depiction of real life. Don't fail to see this picture which has held millions spell-bound at the marvellous portrayal of a story of life as it really exists, but as so few will acknowledge it. The story of an impetious girl breaking all the moral codes of so-called society who played with fire innocently enough and remained clean thru it all, but who paid the penalties of the guilty and who was in the end proven innocent and thru a strange chain of circumstances was re-established In her rightful place in the eyes of the man she loved and who loved her.
