A Woman's Business ByZocBecklcy (

WHY SO FAR AFIELD? With singing heart Janet attended to her unfinished business and set her desk in order preparatory to leaving her post as editor of "Woman." She was impatient to get home and tell Walt her new plan for work Home! The very word seemed clothed In i new meaning to Janet. Home was no longer a mere symbol of hurry and worry, neglected duties and chaotic events. It stood now for peace and love, harmony and work work that she was fitted for by the very virtue of her being a woman; work that would keep her close to Walt and permit of her being his comrade, his professional running mate as veil as his wife. As she rubbed shoulders with the hurrying throng, Janet saw a vision of Home as it should some day be to herself and Walt: Not only a refuge and shelter for their bodies, but a place In which their minds and souls should grow and send out ever-widening rays of usefulness and Joy. Bhe would work hard, terribly hard, at learning to write, rather than doing executive editorship. She would be very grateful to Walt if he showed her "how." Bhe would strive to set down simple, helpful, things things she knew about, or made it htr business to learn. She would follow Waifs work patiently and closely and perhaps find ways to help him. ItfAnd by and by, when Success had Worn to both, they would have a house in the country, by the sen pomewhere, i with a flower garden in front and a kitchen garden at back, and a dog and a cat and a boat and a little motor car. And she and Walt would each have a big study with a fireplace and a huge desk and bookcases and fat leather chairs and the pictures she loved and had never bad time to hunt up and buy. Each morning they would shut themselves into their respective studies and work and work till lunch; and again until midafternoon. Then they would quit their typewriters and frolic or exchange news and views for the rest of the glorious day! They would be rich but not too rich to lose touch with life's great majority. They would have time and money to help loads of less fortunate ones to help themselves. They would travel. They would have Life "in all fineness and fullness. And, best of all, they would both be earning it, and earning It together, with no one else's help. Janet was eo absorbed in her daydream that she almost passed her door. She heard Walt's typewriter clattering madly as she entered. It stopped at sound of her coming, and Walt Jumped up to take her la his arms. "By the way, Jan, dear," said Walt, "what sort of dress would a middleaged woman, who was very fashionable and wanted to look very young, wear to an afternoon card party? I'm stuck for a description and I've got to send this story in tonight." Janet beamed. Did he know how she longed to help in hlg work and even learn to do such work on her own account? Was he trying to please and humor her? No his expression was honest, a bit puzzled and a shade 1 impatient to be at his work again. NJ' Janet thrilled with pleasure as she went into a minute description of a modish reception gown, spelling out the technicalities of its make-up, explaining what messallne ard chiffon velvet were and how a peplum differed from a paunicr. It was the first time he had asked her anything of the sort. Now he bade her read over a chapter and tell him her Impression. Was It clear? Did the girl's predicament rouse the reader's sympathy? Was it convincing? Janet's .heart leaped with happinees aa she replied, making a suggestion here, a criticism there and an apt comment on the thing as a whole.

Tin going to do that myself, Walt." he said quietly during dinner. "Do what, dear?" "Stories," said Janet, "and articles. I've been thinking it all over. I've gone so far afield, WalUe, for something I could have without ever leaving my home and you. Do you believe I can ever learn to do It?" Stedman looked gravely at hia wife a moment without answering. Then he came round the table and hugged her close to his breast. "Oh, my little girl!" he whispered. "Oh, Jan, darling, do you mean it? Do you really want to do that! I'll help you. I'll show you how. Oh, my sweetheart we'll go after success together!" (To be continued.)

Movie of Latest Styles Is Washington Feature Through the novel medium of moving pictures, garments that are being shown at one of Richmond's stores will be exhibited Thursday at the Washington theatre. According to' the theatre management, this is the first complete moving picture style show ever exhibited in this country. The picture has been shown all the way from New York to San Francisco and has been highly praised by the critics. It is of particular interest to Richmond in that the styles, which show the latest New York tendencies, are the same styles as shown by one of the Richmond stores. "That Well Dressed Look" is the title of the photo play in which is Hhown in true style show fashion all the latest in ladies and misses' coats, capes, dolmans, and suits as well as millinery and other clothing accessories. All of the garments are from the Wooltex tailors and are being featured in the ready-to-wear department of the Lee 13. Nusbaum Co. This photo play will be an addition to the regular programs at the Washington theatre.

theater MURRAY The admirers of Mae Murray, and if the audience at last night's presentation of "The Scarlet Shadow' showing at the Murray, Is any criterion their name is legion, will be eminently satisfied with this latest Mae Murray

production. Like every Mae Murray production that Robert Leonard has turned out, "The Scarlet Shadow" 13 a beautiful and entrancing film from the artistic standpoint. Leonard is a master of screen lighting and has part of each scene as the footage is reeled out. In the exteriors he has carried

'out the Bame Idea and by the use of

artificial lighting has spared nothing of his genius in the action of this photoplay. The story Is by Lorne H. Fontaine and Katherine Leister Robbins. Harry F. Thew wrote the scenario plan which Mr. Leonard worked. It Is a tribute to the genius of the director and scenario-ist that they were able to make so satisfactory a drama from a story which in many of its aspects is not entirely new. But with the highly colored and profuse use of interesting details the story is kept at a wonderfully interesting tempo from start to finish. MURRETTE Mysterious happenings, intrigue, spy plotting, U-boat outrages, love, war and victory these are the Ingredients of "The False Faces." the new Thomas H. Ince Paramount-Artcraft special feature, starring Henry B. Walthall, which opened a three-day engagement at the Murrette Sunday. Louis Joseph Vance is author of the story, which is a second series of exploits involving that fascinating character, "The Lone Wolf." and which appeared serially in The Saturday Evening Post. The screen version offers the most elaborate entertainment that could be devised, particularly at this time. The story is of too intricate a plot to admit of full details in this review. Suffice that "The Lone Wolf," no longer a criminal, but an Allied intelligence officer, is on the trail of a notorious Prussian spy named Eckstrom, who is responsible for the death of the Lone Wolf's wife and child. He encounters the wretch on the high seas, the boat is torpedoed by a U-boat and the Lone Wolf, cast Into the sea, is picked up by the submarine. He discovers the secret base of the submarines near Martha's Vineyard, delivers a secret message entruster to him by a mysterious and beautiful girl; gets into a network ot spy intrigue and finally succeeds in his revenge and wins the girl for his own. Henry B. Walthall is the hero, and his portrayal of the Lone Wolf is as masterly as his previous creations for the screen. Mary Anderson is leading woman and is entirely pleasing, while Lon Chaney makes a most despicable villain. WASHINGTON Nazimova, the great star of the Metro production "Revelation," which is the attraction at the Washington theater today and tomorrow, realizes

the fitness and value of the story as a starring vehicle for herself. In a letter to Mabel Wagnalls, the author, she wrote in part: "My consent and quick decision to appear in .your wonderful story Is proof to you how much I value It. I shall treat It as sincerely and passionately as I do anything I attempt. Will you try to think of another picture for me? Your style and thoughts between the lines are charming to say the least." One blow from his gloved fist is all that Louis Bennison requires to smash a window and some of the

ling scene of the smiling star 3 newes? Betzwood production, "Speedy Meade," distributed by Goldwyn, which cornea to the Washington theater beginning Wednesday. Ira M. Lowry, author and director of "Speedy Meade," is authority for the statement that Louis Bennison actually performed that almost superhuman feat. "When Mr. Bennison hears Mary Dillman ( Katherine MacDonald ) scream," said Mr. Lowry, "the action requires that he first break the window In a robber's shack with the butt end of his gun and then strike the glrl'8 assailant Instead of that, our hero scoffed at the idea of using a gun and with his gloved fist Just plowed through the window with force enough to bruise the eye and nose of the man inside. And Ed Roseman, the damaged party, Is perfectly willing to attest to the prowess of Mr. Bennison's hefty right." NEW GARDEN DIRECTOR BEGINS WORK TUESDAY F. W. Wesler, the new Richmond garden supervisor, will take up his duties tomorow. He announced today that his office hours will be from 4 to 5:30 o'clock each afternoon when he

will be glad to assist anyone wishing information on gardens and school gardening. Mr. Wesler urges that persons having vacant lots which they are not going to use for gardening purposes during the coming season, turn them over to him. In this way, ho pointed out, people who do not have gardening space can apply to him and receive lots. However, he wishes such transactions to be done between the person wanting the garden and the one who will rent the lot, where possible.

"Revelation" is a stupendous picture drama, a worthy vehicle for the genius of the great Nazimova. It tells the story of Joline, a model living in the Latin quarter of Paris, who finds a soul through the agency of the sacred rose bush. Through Joline a miracle is performed, when a pious monk who sees her standing beside the sacred bush sees shining in her eyes the pure spirit of the Madonna. The bush bursts into bloom. Fut this miracle is as nothing compared to Revelation by which Joline's whole nature is transformed and purified. Echoes of the Great War are heard in Revelation, and Joline finds her happiness first in service and then in love. Also a Parton Comedy "THE BIG IDEA"

MONDAY and TUESDAY Thos. H. Ince Presents a Paramount-Artcraft Special

Showing more thrilling situations than ever before attempted in any picture

Another Lone Wolf Story You remember "The Lone Wolf the man who, as a boy, had his faith in all womankind shattered; who swore to his dying teacher of crime that he would always "play the game" alone, and who kept his vow until "the only girl" swayed him from the path over which the man-hunters closely followed. "The Lone Wolf" is at it again! But this time the 12-cylin-der brain, that once baffled the dogs of crime, Is at work for them. Perils by the score! Thrills loads and loads of them! But beneath It all, deeds of daring to untangle the deepest, darkest, most desperate web of intrigue a web such as "The Lone Wolf" never spun in his palmiest days. A Thomas H. Ince production. With Henry Walthall. The Saturday Evening Post's most successful story of crime, by Louis Joseph Vance. Nuff said? Are you coming? You really can't afford to miss "THE FALSE FACES."

Who's "Who" and What's "What" in "False Faces" THE JUAN WHO PRODTJCED IT Thomas H. Ince, renowned as the wizard who takes men and women and a camera and film and turns them into screen dramas of vast emotional appeal. In "THE FALSE FACES" he presents his greatest work.

THE MAN WHO WROTE IT Louis Joseph Vance, author of a score of the sort of novels that you cant stop reading until you reach the end. A writer with a powerful grasp upon the art of fashioning plots that grip and thrill. "The False Faces" was one of the greatest serial stories ever printed in The Saturday Evening Post. Its sale as a book is tremendous. THE MAN WHO STARS IN IT Henry Walthall's achievements in the silent drama, as well as on the legitimate stage, have been too many and too recent, to require much comment. It only remains for us to remind you that he is the man who played "The Little Colonel" in "The Birth of a Nation" and the "heavy" character in "The Great Love." THERE ARE THRILLS in "The False Faces" that have never before been even attempted,

because no man could be found daring enough to take such chances. There is one scene where Henry Walthall swings from one building to another. It is positively the most daring stunt ever done by a star. Walthall is at the top of a monster skyscraper and it is Walthall Not a "double." THE SCENE IN MID-OCEAN Where, after "The Lone Wolf i3 thrown from the deck of the ship in a eemi-conscious condition and there seems no earthly possibility of him escaping death, he floats for but a few second and in that time a submarine swishes under him, leaving him grasping and helpless on its deck that scene is positively without a rival in picture production. As it was famed In the telling in The Saturday Evening Post, so it will be famed in the picture. Thomas H. Ince uses a huge, real submarine.
