WASHINGTON. Charlie Chaplin himself laughs so seldom that the public often wonders what it is that makes them laugh. Almost throughout the first two nets of "A Night in the Show," his face Is 'wrapped in gloom. He expresses pique, anger, resentment, stupidity, and almost every other emotion, but Tarely joy or fun. Chaplin does not laugh to make the world laugh with him. He Is gloomy to make the world laugh at him. Beneath his antics, his funny walk and mustache, the comic situations he create, there Is a vein of pathos, of droll resignation, that contrasts so strongly with the spirit of the comedy It brings

ont the real humor, tne suoue pan that lies below the surface of his slapstick. At the Washington Sunday only. "Money Isn't Everything" is the latest to the American Film Companys deservedly popular comedy tlrama written by Fred Jackson, scenario by William Parker and directed by Edward Sloman. The production features that world famous movie star Margarita Fisher, with an all star cast. Margarita Fisher is perfectly suited to the role of Margery Smith, the beauty, and will enhance the character with her natural charm and vivacity. Jack Mower, as the handsome and busy man, Franklyn Smith can be counted on to givo his usual flinished performance. J. Norrls Fester who Is cast as Henry P. Rockwell, the millionaire spender Is new to the American. He has supported numerous popular stars and is a valuable addition to the American forces. Manager Gruenewald of the Washington theater announces that "Money Isn't Everything" will be presented Sunday afternoon and evening. For a while it seemed that the releasing of the film verson of "Raffles, the Amateur Cracksman." would be indefinitely postponed. This was due to a proposal made by one of the most prominent theatrical managers to the Lawrence Weber Photo Dramas, Inc., who produced the picture. The manager saw the picture version before the public showing and liked John Barrymore'a performance of the title role so well that he immediately planned to revive the play and have Mr. Barrymore play the role originated by the last Kyrle Bellew. The proposition was under serious consideration, but the L. Lawrence Weber Photo Dramas, Inc., finally decided that so many theaters would be prevented from showing "Raffles for a long time that he thought it best to conlnue with the original plan, and It Is duo to this that Manager Gruen

ewald of the Washington meaier. is able to announce that "Raffles' will be shown for two days beginning Friday. Aoril 18. The patrons of the Washington Theatre may feel certain that in seeing "Raffles, the Amatuer Cracksman." they are seeing one of the best photoplays of the year. One of the most graifying results brought about by the war has been the remarkable advance made in native designers. We may safely predict that it will not be long before our conception of feminine costume will be accepted on a par with the best Paris affords. Forced to rely upon our own resources, we have astonished even ourselves in the matter of smart wearing apparel. And this is nowhere better brought out than in the film called "That Well Dressed Look." which wil soon be presented at local theaters. From advance reports the production it a little gem in its way and is a splendid example of what can be done with motion pictures. It is not hard to guess what will happen when the girls left behind by our gallant bovs view this picture. Washington patrons are certainly to be congratulated on the novel and entertaining features of this unique Stvle Show, screened for their enjoy- - raent by the gonious of Hy Meyer, the famous artist, and a bevy of the smartest models in America.

"Naalmova Js the ideal actress for the role of Joline, the temperamental

leading character of Revelation,'"

said Mabel Wagnalls when told that Metro had chosen an adaptation of her story. "A Rosebush of a Thousand Years," for the great NaImova's initial picture under the Metro banner. "If I had created Joline especially for Nazlmova and written the story to fit her marvelous talents, it could not have been better suited as a vehicle for this great Metro star. It seems that Nazlmova Is the one logical actress who should have the role of Joline. There is nothing placid about either the star or tho character, they are both Intense, dynamic beings, TnKnn in a Mausrhter of loy a pop

ular model in the Latin quarter of

Paris. She Is acceptable as a mouei for all pictures that Paul Granville, an American artist, paints until he attempts a madonna. He realizes that Joline's blase, hardened face lacks the spiritual qualities neede to inspire and guide him in creating so sacred a picture. Joline pampered and spoiled with a tempermental, impetuous outburst of indignation and Jealousy, refuses to allow any other model to replace her. Once again Louis Bennlson shows himself a true son of the West, This time it Is in "Speedy Meade," newest in his series of Bet2wood productions, that the smiling cowboy star exudes .. . i n v. InfaftlinilS hU-

niS ureezjr cuaiui snu mor, that have established him as one of the most popular screen stars of the day. In "Speedy Meade," which comes to the Washington theater, be

ginning weanesaay.

Bennlson has the role of Speedy Meade, a Texas ranger famed for his recklessness and ability to finish any iv v -a w 1a assigned the

task of rounding up a band of cattle thieves on the border. Bidding goodbye to his sweetheart, Mary Dillman. a student In a country convent school, Meade set out on his man's-size task. While trailing the outfit. Speedy is shocked to learn that the brains of the robber band is Henry Dillman, father of his sweetheart. A still greater shock comes to Meade when he comes across Mary in a lonely road near the scene of the crooks operations in the dead of night. Her father has turned her out of the house. Speedy enlists her aid for the battles he knows must come with the cattle, thieves. MURRAY. The excellent work of the performers in the Bally Hoo Trio, the sensational circus act now appearing at the Murray, combined with the comedy sketch as presented by Milley-Keough and company, and the clever songs rendered by Jtlstine Grey, a very attractive young lady, is attracting capacity bouses, and Is considered by many one of the best bills of the sea: son7 From ' the advance announcements, this bill will be followed by one of equal merit, if not stronger from the way it looks on paper. The headline act commencing Monday for the first half will be the comedy sketch "Poughkeepsie" as played for a number of years on the Keith bigtime by Chas. Grapewin and company. The writer saw this act last season as Keith's. Indianapolis, and wants all vaudeville devotees of Richmond to see it, as it is one of the best constructed comedy acts of recent years. It is a veritable "scream" from start to finish, caused by a traveling man endeavoring to "square" things with his wife. Stewart and Keeley, come heralded as have one of the classiest dancing acts in vaudeville as well as exploiting a very elaborate wardrobe. This act too has seen service In ail the bigtime houses.

Hyland makes the girl a thoroughly wholesome and pleasing character. The far reaching advance of the nhotoDlay Is always exemplified by the

ers, as the directors like to be called. It apparently is Impossible fof a director to go about his work properly unless he is togged out in a particular style. This style Include riding breeches and leather puttees. What they have to do with the making of a picture Is more than the present writer can guess but he has noticed that among these men certain of them have acquired a Justified pre-eminence and that near the head of the list stands Robert Leonard. The latest example of this artistic director's work with the former ' dancing star, Mae Murry, is shown at the Murray theater. , It was shown, but does not represent the actual condition. It was most vociferously applauded and stamped with the approval of a representative and thoroughly pleased audience. In former years a director had to interpret that story In a logical and convincing manner. This is still a requirement, but it is like the preliminary training of a football team. So with the directors. Being assured of his story and secure in his ability to portray it, with a competent cast and superb acting, he devotes his time to the perfection of a beautiful piece of work. And artistic production, includes lighting, toning, tinting and the most artistic hand-drawn titles. It is in this realm that Ieonard is one of the masters of his craft and "The Scarlet Shadow" from the artistic standpoint is one of the real accomplishments of his career.

Twr,r wviand. in "The Rebellious

Bride," is the attraction at the Murray theater today and Sunday. This new William Fox photoplay tells the story of a pretty, happy, bright girl of the Ozark mountain region, who contracts a peculiar marriage. Her old grandfather, with whom she lives, fearing that the child is getting beyond his control, forces her to marry the first man they meet on a country road. This happens to be a wealthy St. Louis man who had dropped into the mountains during an airplane flight. Of course, in marriage a girl always takes more or less of a chance. Did this girl assume any greater risk in marrying the first man she met than if she had known him for years? "The Rebellious Bride," it is said, answers this question in a delightful way and according to advance notices, Peggy

"Conserving," "Economy" and "Thrift" are the present-day watchwords and well they may be! Are you conserving your health Are you economical in buying treatment for disease? You should be! If your stomach, liver, kidneys, bowels and blood are not right in every sense, you should at once begin a treatment to restore good, healthy conditions. Sulphur, cream of tartar and herb extracts in a sugar-coated form, called Sulpherb Tablets is the surest relief that is economical. Get them in sealed tubes from druggists. Sulpherb is the name not "sulphur." Mrs. J. J. Devlin, 518 W. 162nd St., New New York City, writes: "I would also like to say I find your Sulpherb Tablets O.

Also Showing Charlie Chaplin in A Night in the Show To Washington Patrons: Good music never dies, good books are always re-read, good plays revived again and again. The young art of the screen has likewise created "classics," pictures good enough and old enough to be revived and enjoyed anew. We believe that in offering a revival of the "Chaplin Classics" It is not only contributing to the pleasure of our patrons, but is offering a tribute to a great artist. A tribute to the art of a little, wiry, curly-haired fellow with funny feet and an idea, who rose in five years from a $75-a-week funmaker in cheap vaudeville to a million dollar-a-year comedian. "A Night in the Show' was filmed several years ago when Charlie Chaplin was just starting on hi3 sensational career. We know you will enjoy it. Extra Featurette "V0D-A-VIL MOVIES"
