WASHINGTON What's the best way to get acquainted with a pretty girl when you don't even know her name? In his new pb.oto.Aay, rBrass Buttons,", William Russell solves the problem by borrowing a policeman's uniform, selecting this particular disguise because he Imagines her a lady's maid. As it happens she's si wealthy and fashionable as she Is beautiful but the bogus "copper" gets away with the situation, nevertheless. Just at first, to be sure, the reallytruly maid threatens-to introduce the Jealousy of the woman scorned Into an already complicated situation, but happily this is diverted by the opportune release of her lover from the prison where he has been "spending the summer."-. The borrowed uniform gets Russell's hero Into some very snappy

scraps before the wedding cake isl

served; but what these difficulties are and how resourcefully he deals with them, you must see for yourself when "Brass Buttons" reaches the Washington theatre on Sunday. The part of the society girl, who garbs herself as a French maid, all for sweet love's sake, is prettily portrayed by Eileen Percy. Carl Stockdale, bad man specialist, and "Bull" Montana, famed as the possessor of the ugliest "phiz" in the celluloid world, are splendid in their roles, as are likewise Helen Howard, Frank Brownlee and Wilbur HIgby. This unusual photoplay, like the rest of the "Big Bill" series, was made under the capable direction of Henry King. It is the fifth of the new series produced by William Russell Productions for the American Film company, and strikes us as the cream of the lot thus far. It is sure to bring many recruits into the ranks of Russell enthusiasts. ' i ' WASHINGTON "Marie. Ltd.," Alice Brady's latest Select picture, which can be seen at

the Washington theatre Friday and Saturday of next week, is assuredly one of the best pictures she has ever made. Miss Brady is cast in a role for which she is well fitted and gives an admirable characterization of the girl who gave up a promising career to take a position in her mother's fashionable millinery establishment on "Fifth avenue. - All the true metropolitan atmosphere is seen in this remarkably realistic story. Traffic-crowded, peoplefilled Fifth avenue, the exclusive hat shop of "Marie, Ltd.," a train hold-up all are true to life and furnish an excellent background for this clever and versatile Select star. The story is clean, breezy and fascinating, with Just enough heart-interest to make it appeal to all classes. The plot is absorbing; the characters, human ones, each actor portraying to the best of his ability which is some ability when you consider the cast in the picture the role he assumes. "Marie, Ltd.," is the story of a girl who comes east to help her mother in her fashionable millinery establishment. On the train she meets Blair Carson, who falls in love with her on

sight. They promise to see much of each other, but things do not materialise as they expected. Colonel Lambert, an old roue, falls in love with Drina. and her mother is anxious that she marry him. How Blair saves Marie and her daughter from a very embarrassing position is told-with tact and skill in the following chapters of the story. Among those in the cast are Frank Lbsee, Leslie Austen, Mrs. Gertrude Hillman and Josephine Whittell. Kenneth Webb directed the picture.
