WASHINGTON. Coming with the reputation of being by far the most powerful offering that has ever fallen to Dustin Farnum's lot and affording a special attraction by its magnitude, thrilling

l story, talented acting and unique pho

tography, "A Man in the Open" is as-

I sured of large and welcoming audiences for its engagement at the Washington, Monday and Tuesday. This powerful romance of the Big Northwest is closely based on the thrilling novel of the same title by Roger Pocock and, as its name indicates, is staged largely in the Great Outdoors. Mr. Farnum will be seen 'in the role of Sailor Jesse, wrecked on I an ocean voyage, adopted into the jcornradesbip of rugged landsmen, but (tricked into marriage with an advenIturess. Then follow his startling ad

ventures in the great forests and mountains where he lives as A Man In the Open, and where the startling denoument of the great story takes place. Mr. Farnum unhesitatingly states that this is the finest screen play he has ever done, and that "A Man in the Open" is sure to gain for him a host of new friends, an opinion amply borne out by the welcome everywhere given that sterling actor In this remarkable superpicture.

Recruited from the Ziegfeld "Folllies," it stands to reason that dancing plays a prominent part in the hisItrionic equipment of Kay Laurell, famous beauty of that organization who makes her scheen bow in Rex Beach's "The Brand" at the Washington theater, beginning Wednesday. But she did not realize she would have a chance to dance in the Rex Beach photo-drama. In her enthusiasm over the prospect of making bo auspicious a beginning in the cinema the petite beauty scarcely took cognizance of all the possibilities the adventure offered. It never occurred to her that the exciting scones in an Alaskan dance hall would enlist her services as a devotee of terpslchore. The prospect of acting a complicated and highly dramatic role absorbed her to the exclusion of all other considerations. When some of the scenes had been photographed, however, and Miss Laurell began to look ahead, she learned that much would be expected of her dancing. She determined that

she would infuse as much enthusiasm into it as she ever had on the stage. This explains the abandon with which she dances in the dingy, smoke-filled hall in Alaska.

If you are a pretty girl, and if you see an attractive automobile, Just appropriate it. Then, when you are arrested merely marry the policeman and you are safe. In "Fair Enough," Margarita Fisher's new and very funny farce, to be seen at the Washington theatre Sunday afternoon and night, she demonstrates how there is a way out of all difficulties if one is pretty. She is of the care-free, whimsical daughter of parents with high social ambitions and she outwits a prude, prim and punctilious governess in order to be her own, untrammeled self. She turns all conventional tenets topsy-turvy; plays havoc with her father's finances; gives picnics to a horde of street gamins; falls in love with a policeman, at first sight, and runs the gauntlets of dangers and escapades until she is finally apprehended tnr Tuirlnlnln? n. raeine car.

In-the cast are Jack Mower, leading man; "Bull" Montana, the "ugliest man on the screen," who has been seen in many Fairbanks pictures; Harry McCoy, the comedian, Eugenie Forde, J. Farrell McDonald and other screen favorites. Patrons of the vashington theatre will see a very Interesting picture, when Alice Brady appears on Friday and Saturday in her latest Select Picture, "Her Great Chance," the story of which is as follows: After many attempts and struggles, Lola Gray, a poor working girl, gives up hope of ever transforming Charlie Cox, her millionaire lover and Broadway sensation, into a man. The climax came, when eating at a Palisade Cafe, Charlie ran wild, and the affair culminated in the cafe proprietor collecting damages from Cox, Senior, and all the papers containing the glaring details. Mr. Cox Immediately called for his lawyer, who employed Lola's sister, Ida Belle, as his confidential secretary, and the result of the interview terminated in a new will, which left Charlie out entirely. When Lola returned to her slovenly home in the Bronx, her conceited sister breaks the confidence of her position in trying to convince Lol how foolish she has been. The minute Ida leaves her she calls Charlie up, who comes for her, and this time she accept his proposal of marriage knowing that the new circumstances he has been placed in would bring out his courageous tendencies.

Washington theatre next Wednesday and Thursday. :-. . This Is a delicious comedy in which this trio of fun-makers appear to fine advantage. Miss Fazenda is seen as a lovely girl with an immense bank account though nobody knows it; while Chester Conklln is the husky blacksmith whose weakness is female loveliness. When he throws down Louise for Phyllis, he makes the sad mistake of casting away a great bank roll and this provokes numerous situations

filled with relishable humor. ine farce is well worth one'B while to see, for the action is rapid and the humor most wholesome..

MURRAY To wear priceless jade before the camera in the making of A motion picture Is a novel experience, even lor the most famous of screen actresses. Madlaine Traverse has been able to record it in her diary.

This jade was loaned to the beautiful star by a "Los Angeles jeweler,

who one day visited the William Fox

studios, in Hollywood, saw Miss Traverse at work and became greatly in

terested in her stunning gowns. He

told her of the jade, and said he thought it would set off both her

gowns and her beauty if she careu to wear it.

The next day the jeweler sent the

jade to the studio in an automobile, and sent, also, his private detective to watch Jt so that by no chance would it be stolen or lost en route. The jade was used for several days but each night it was returned to the jeweler's safe. This jade is worn by Miss Traverse in "Gambling in Souls," the new photo play which will be shown at the Murray Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. MURRETTE. How an outof date department store may be transformed by the common sense and intelligence of a girl into a prosperous enterprise, is told in "Maggie Pepper," the new Paramount picture in which beautiful Ethel Clayton will be seen at the Murrette theatre Sunday and Monday. Furthermore, the picture depicts the struggles of the clever Maggie against heavy odds, enemies and adverse circumstances. Ethel Clayton in the title role is said to be superb. She has the peculiar quality of alertness and activity, as well as the charm and culture to make the role one that will not soon be forgotten. The production is far above the average, which is easily believable when it is remembered that the play was a great success on tha

legitimate stage. Also Charlie Chaplin in his screaming comedy, "The Adventurer," on Sunday. Hamilton, Ontario, bricklayers, who

have been receiving 70 cents an hour, now demand $1 for all work done during the coming season.

IN BLOOD DISEASES

Like Scrofula, Eczema, and Many Skin Troubles As well as a general Spring medicine for catarrh, rheumatism, dyspepsia, Hood's Sarsaparilla is of great value to men, women, children. It does its thorough work in these well-defined diseases by cleansing the blood, on the pure, healthy condition of which depend the vigor and tone of the whole system. Hood's Sarsaparilla Is equally successful in the treatment of troubles that are not so well defined cases of a low or run-down condition or general debility, loss of appetite and that tired feeling, or cases in which we see now very plainly after-effects of the worry and anxiety caused by the world war and the debility following the grip, influenza and fevers. In all such ailments it has accomplished a wonderful amount of good. Hood's Pills help as a stomachtoning, digestive cathartic. Adv.
