saloon across the way and much en

amored of Marie.

Marie suddenly inherits riches from

Uncle's estate and the fight is on in earnest between Jimmy and Chester

or the heart and, incidentally, the for

tune of the fascinating landlady. Chester frames up several schemes to get rid of Jimmy and succeeds in compromising him with Charlotte. Charlotte has a secret sorrow of her own which grows in intensity when she finds her husband is in the same house and being tenderly consoled by the much-sought-after Marie. Chester's base schemes all fail and Jimmy comes cut victorious after a General mix-up in which a detective spie3 on everyone but the right man sad Chester has been routed to his saloon where a thrilling fij&t 13 pulled off. The picture Is filled with thrills and the action, swift as a whirlwind, provides many a laugh. It will be shown at the Washington theatre today and tomorrow. Jo Mowbray is the most attractive

She has been taught to steal money from the patrons of this establishment, and when Harrison Wade, a wealthy New Yorker, eaters on a slumming party, he is suggested to her as a victim.

This is the human and absorbing story of "The Probation Wife," which Select Pictures offers with Norma Taint ad ge. today and tomorrow at the Washington theatre. MURRAY That versatile young ecreea star, Bryant Washburn, has a human interest comedy in "The Way of a Man With a Maid," and the story originally appeared in "The Saturday Evening

Post," whore Bryant himself read it i

and set about securing screen rights. It is a Paramount picture and is shown at the Murray theatre today. It introduces Arthur McArney, a $21 a week clerk, as the chief figure, and shows his romance with Elsa Owenson, an extravagant, blonde little stenographer. Arthur McArney is shown as a very ordinary young man, satisfied with his weekly wage until the expensive Elsa comes Into his life. Then he has to hustle to corral enough money to show her a good time and from this situation the story develops to a charming and unexpected ending. Bryant Washburn is said to be at his best as the young clerk. Wanda Hawley plays Elsa Owenson and Fred Goodwins, who has done excellent work in recent Paramount Pictures, appears a; Bick Olsen. McArney's chum. Others who play important roles are Bessie Eyton, Clarence Geldart. Jay Dwiggins, Eilly Elmer and James Neill.

commander when they demanded his surrender. It has been told in story and in many columns of newspaper print. The men of the battalion have been pictured in the dailies and in the weekly news reels of the moving picture theaters, but it has remained for David Wark Griffith to immortaliez that story by Impressing it In the indeliible celluloid of a photoprama. The new Griffith picture is not a

war play. It has in its plot some things that have to do with war and there are some battle scenes shown that are said to be the best yet screened, especially one of a night attack when the parachute flares and a box barrage are seen working simultaneously. The short chapters that deal wUh the actual fighting, deal almost exclusively with the charge and seige of one of the lost companies

that faced the Huns along the Argonne and who made that classic everlasting answer. 'The Girl Who Stayed at Home" is the new production, which will be shown at the Murrette theater for a run of three days beginning today. It was written by S. E. Taylor and is played by Griffith players, headed by Robert Harron, who presents a character he has never before attempted, but vhich is said to show a versatility in this actor that even he himself has never dreamed existed.

MURRAY VAUDEVILLE

It does not seem possible we would see what many claim the best bill of the season in mid summer, but this appears to be the general verdict of those who saw the opening of the

new bill at The Murray yesterday. The big headline act, The Six Musical Nosses, is about the most artistic and generally pleasing musical offering we have seen for some time. They play all manner of instruments well, but the generous verdict of approval went to the saxaphone octette number. They open with a sedate selection, then go into a jazz" number which captured the house, and close their act with one of the girls playing the trap drum and all its accoutrements, very similar to the late Ver

non Castle's famous specialty, and this number earns them many recalls. Newell and Most, a young woman and

man also come into the "hit" class with their timely songs and decidedly pleasing personality. ' They slrlg a "Blues" song for the finish, employing a guitar for an accompaniment which scored tremendously. They are one of the season's most delightful acts. Eary and Eary open the bill with a novel contortion act consisting of a series of evolutions through steel rings. It is a novel of

fering and was well received. Bryant Washburn is appearing In "The Way of a Man" to the delight of his legion of admirers. If you enjoy real Keith big-time vaudeville, see these three acts for they are decidedly worth while.
