WASHINCTnu

Once again Louis Bennison shows himself a true son of the west. This lme it is In "Speedy Meade," newest in his Beries of Betzwood productions hat the smiling cowboy star exudes his breezy charm and infectious humor, that have established his as onn of the most popular screen stars or the day. In "Speedy Meade," which comes to the Washington theatre the last times today Bennison has the role of Speedy Meade, a Texas rangerfamed for his recklesness and ability to finish any Job he starts. He is assigned the task of rounding up a band of cattle thieves on the border. Bidding goodbye to his sweetheart, Mary Dlllman, a student in a country convent school, Meade sets out on his man-sized task. While trailing the outfit Speedy is shocked to learn that the brains of the robber band is Henry Dlllman, father of his sweetheart. A Mill greater shock comes to Meade when he comes across Mary In a lonely road near the scene of the crook's operat'ons 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. The Chinese have an ancient proverb which avers that the woman who never changed her mind died last Wednesday. It might be said that this la equally true of the woman who is not Interested in fashions. At an7 rate, it is safe to assume that tho Washington theatre will not lack a goodly audience when the picturlzed mannlquin fete is disclosed there to;y. Very likely It will prove the hit of the bill, as it did along Broadway when shown in New York last week. Realizing that the ordinary fashion book had about reached the limits of its possibilities and that motion pictures were virtually an untapped mine the Universal Fily company conceived the brilliant idea of bringing the citadels of style directly to the millions of women who get their inspiration and enjoyment at the movies and who would undoubtedly welcome the dellghtful experience of having an advance presentation of spring and summer styles brought to their favorite theatre. MURRETTE. Imagine a wife who spends so much time at the Household Duties club

that she is unable to take care of her own home, thus neglecting friend husband. In this case Roscoe (Fatty) Arbuckle is the suffering spouse who comes home every night only to discover that his wife is conspicuous by her absence. ' Cold meals gathered from the Ice box are his portion. Cobwebs cover . the diohes in the sink and hang gloomily over the kitchen range. When poor Fatty opens the oven a proud house cat emerges, iollowed by three kittens. He writes a note to hi missing wife saying he's going "camping," where he can do his own cooking. Armed with various books of . instruction concerning his new life. Fatty boards a steamer for Catalina Island. Here old kid . fate takes a hand. Fatty meets a neglected wife neglected but pretty. She is' running away from her husband. And .' all because she had proved to be too liuuch of a housewife for him. ' ' When Fatty's wife comes home, she discovers that he has eloped with the cook book. Being a woman of action, she pursues him. On the steamer she meets the husband of the little wife who neglected the cafes for her home. When they reach Catalina Island they lose no time. From the top of a rugged mountain peak they see below in a beautiful camp Fatty handing a towel from his tent to a girl in a bathing suit. The deserted wife and husband charge the camping grounds and the matrimony fray la on. There follow many matrimonial mixups which result in both husbands escaping to the sea in a small boat, whence they dive overboard. MURRAY. The way it appears on paper, an unusually good bill is scheduled to open at the Murray today for the last half. Harry Holman and company in his comedy sketch, "My Daughter's Husband," will be the headliner, and its well entitled to the honors, for this act is now playing all the Keith city1 theatres, and it was only through a fortunate circumstances they had a few days open time, that was secured for the Murray. The act goes direct from here to Keith's theatre, Cincin

nati, Ohio, where they appear all next

week. Another Interesting feature will be Hooper and Burkhart who will make a specialty of dispensing "nutismB," and comedy songs. This act too Is a product of big time. ' The single entertainer will be Miss Margaret Ford, and lrora all advance reports, this young lady posesses unusual ability. She has been credited with a score of hits in the larger cities, and no doubt will win a triumph here. The Pictorial offering will be Monroe Salisbury in his latest six-reel production "The Light of Victory." Motion Pictures Take Place of Style Books Realizing that the ordinary fashion book had about reached the limits of its possibilities and that the motion pictures were virtually an tintapped mme, the Universal Film company conceived the idea of bringing the citadel of style directly to the. millions of women who get their Inspiration and enjoyment at the movies and who would undoubtedly welcome the delightful experience of having an advance presentation of spring and summer styles brought to the theatre. The result is the photo-play, "That Well Dressed Look," that is to be shown at the Washington Thursday. The picture is a presentation of a metropolitan, style showing all the latest styles In women's apparel. An Interesting feature of the film lies In the fact that all the styles shown can be seen in the ready-to-wear department of the Lee B. Nusbaum company. The styles are those of the Wooltex tailors.
