Barrymore, "What particular dish of food would most appeal to you?" Mr. Barrymore answered offhand, "Bacon and eggs." Later a waiter appeared from the hotel across the street bearing a tray upon which rested a plate of delicious bacon and eggs. Hal Young, the photographer, was planning to photograph it a little later, but Mr. Barrymore beat him to it and the vision was consumed before it could be visualized on the screen. Mr. Barrymore explained that he thought Mr. Robertson was buying him his breakfast. "Here Comes the Bride" will be shown at the Murray theater next Thursday Friday and Saturday. Fairo Binney, a charming actress, is the leading woman-

"Civilization," and other notabl

screen successes, has furnished the silver sheet, a new novelty that promises to establish itself as the classic ghost story of the screen, just as in literature have come down such standards as Bulwer Lytton's "The House on the Brain;" Daniel De Foe's "The Apparition of Mrs. Veal;" Sir Walter Scott's "Wandering Willie's Tale;" Charles Dickens' "The Haunted Man," and Captain Marryatt's "The Flying Dutchman," to say nothing of Shakespeare's "Hamlet," and "King Lear." The remarkable feature of this story is that while it is a ghost story, it develops that the ghost was a real human and illustrates how easily people may be deceived into thinking they see and hear supernatural things. There is nothing about the psychology of the story which is not susceptible to natural explanation, but nevertho less there are thrills a-plenty. The mystery of the ghost Is excellently handled and the effect at times Is startling. The picture will be presented at the Murray theater for three days, commencing next Monday. In this Paramount production Enid Bennett is featured, surrounded by an especially selected cast of players. It was directed by Fred Niblo under the personal supervision of Thomas H. Ince. While John Barrymore's latest picture, "Here Come the Bride," was being filmed, John Stuart Robertson, the director, wished to do a scene showing Mr. Barrymore in a hungry state where he could Bee a vision of food floating over his head. It was only eleven o'clock in the morning and the director said to Mr.

will be seen In a comedy drama called

"Married in Haste," a five-reeler that is said to be bulging with humor, but with a few serious incidents thrown in. It is a story of the taming of a young spendthrift. Through a scheme of his bride he is made apparently penniless in the midst of a host of unpaid bills. His wife wants to force him to be a business man and soon afterward he changes from a full dress suit to the clothes of a workman, begins to climb and finally turns out to be a shrewd business man. Arthur Rosson, who has made soma very fine motion pictures, was brought under the Fox banner especially to direct this photoplay.

cannot be surpassed. Ann Little Is his leading woman In the cast. WASHINGTON "Redhead," Alice Brady's latest .Select picture, which comes to the Washington theatre, the last times today, is one of the jazziest, peppiest stories ever put on the screen. There is quick, live action from the minute the picture first appears upon the screen until the last fade' out. Miss Brady is right there with her customary pep and sparkling personality, which emanate from all her work. She is ably supported by Conrad Nagel, also leading man in her stage play, "Forever After," who plays opposite her in this picture. "Redhead' is the story of Dazie (Alice Brady), a Titan-haired beauty, who is the- star entertainer in one of New York's most popular restaurants. Matthew Thurlow (onrad Nagel), one of the younger generation of the idle rich, marries Dazie on a bet one night, when under the influence of liquor. His uncle cuts off his allowance and he is forced to go to work. He hates Dazie, whom he calls Redhead, for having married him and caused him to have been cut off and been forced to go to work. Dazie loves him and decides to do all she can to make hiB lot an easy one. She pets and mothers him and takes his rebuffs silently. When Matt sees signs of Dazie being taken away from him he sits up and begins to take notice of what is going on about him. The picture is a splendid one, well acted, splendidly directed and excellently photographed. It is a human picture of human people who have their faults and their good points. Charles Maigne wrote the scenario and directed it. Among those in the cast are Robert Schable, Charles A. StevenBon, Charles Eldridge and May Brettone. WASHINGTON. fao Torch r n-hor ia hv nil nrM

and suffering to men and beasts, is

perhaps the most dastardly scoundrel that could be Imagined. There is such a man in "Square Deal Sanderson," William S. Hart's new Artcraft picture which comes to the Murrette theatre Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. He i3 punished finally by the hero, who wins the love of Mary, the girl who owns a ranch in New Mexico and who Is hounded by the same despicable wretch. Charles Alden Seltzer wrote the story and Lambert Hillyer put it into screen form. It is one of those stories that holds the spectator tensely till the last foot of film is unwound. The artistic work of William S. Hart in his delineations of western types often has been commented upon by critics as perfect in every respect. Not only is Mr. Hart an actor, but he knows the life of the West and puts it on the screen with a vividness that

the story and an odd instance of how an innocent girl may be legitimately exploited until she comes to realize just how serious any deception is this is the foundation of the new play. Laughter, tender smiles, a tear now and then with a sweeping climax, make up the guaranteed euccess of "Spotlight Sadie." Alice Brady, in "The World to Live In" will be seen at the Washington theatre on Friday and Saturday, in which she is presented by Select Pictures "The World to Live IN" is the story of Rita Charles, a girl of the famous Salamander type. Rita is a stenographer to T. J. Olverson during the day, and at night "pal" to young Harrison Chalvey, a wealthy New Yorker. At a wedding Rita meets Dr. Varian, devoted to his work in the Eastslde House, a settlement. He falls in love with Rita and she in turn is attracted by him, but she does not encourage him, because he has nothing to offer her. She wants money and a good time.

A few weeks later T. J. Olverson, Jr. discovers that his father's secretary is an extremely good looking young j woman. It does not take long before j Olverson and Rita become very friend-1 ly. Mr. Olverson, Sr., tells Rita that I

he does not want to lose a good sten

ographer because of a bad eon, and suggests that she take a month's vacation at the expense of the firm. Rita goes to Atlantic City for & month's vacation. Olverson follows her. Suddenly she finds herself about to be named as a co-respondent in a divore action brought by Olverson's wife; of whose existence she was ignorant. Rita learns that Mrs. Olverson Is a singer who had boarded in the same house with her In New York. The little girl singer had been ill, and while Rita had never seen her, she had heard of the singer's illness, and had done many kindnesses for her. When Mrs. Olverson learns whom she is to name as co-respondent, she refuses to bring ation. Chalvey has followed Rita to Atlantic City. Dr. Varian also appears upon the scene. Both men propose. She hesitates and then makes a wise choice. WASHINGTON It's precious seldom, in these days of scientific fire prevention, that one gets the peculiar thrill which comee

with the Clang, Clang! of the fire engines and the sight of the devouring element at Its deadly work. Glory be, for the world cannot afford the wholesale destruction wrought by the little licking tongues of flame. And yet and yet! A great fire Is a marvelously fascinating sight to see something to remember for a life-time. No wonder small boys and grown-folks used to run miles to witness the star entertainment of the neighborhood, with all its attendant excitements. Ah, "them were the happy days!" That's Just another reason why you musn't miss "Trixie from Broadway" when it comes to the Washington thoatre for it contains the biggest and most thrilling fire scene ever screened. Your pulse will beat double as you watch the dames attack the huge barn. The panic-stricken crowd pours out, unmindful of the two girls still within, locked In their desperate hand-to-band fight. You hold your breath as the heroic little

chorus-girl bends all her energies to the task of saving the woman who had tried to wreck her happiness. Nevei before has the screen shown such a realistic fight and fire, or such true to-life "fire fars." They say that when these seenei were filmed in Santa Barbara by th American Film Company, me whol millionaire colony of that fashlonabl town turned out in force to watch thi blaze. Likewise, that when Margarita Fisher, as "Trixie." and Olgi Grey, her Jealous neighbor, appeared at the window against a flaming barkground, it was all the director and hli assistants could do to restrain one r: the "extras" from spoiling the picture with his own personally-staged rescue. He's on the film, too watel for him. The story of "Trixie frora Broadway" Is by Agnes C. Johnston and It's one of the finest she's evei turned out a gripping comedy-drami of chorus-girl life.

Sadie" to the Washington theatre be

ginning Wednesday. The unique star is given the opportunity to tighten her hold on the heartstrings of those who love her, by reason of a role that no other actress could handle as Mae Marsh does. AH these qualities which first brought her fame she displays with compelling effect. And the story of "Spotlight Sadie" is calculated to engross any audience, for it is torn from the book of life. There have been thousands of girls who came from the Emerald Isle to seek fortunes in America, and thou

sands of such girls who finally drifted i

to the 6tage. In the new Goldwyn picture there is no suggestion of the. popular fable of the unknown amateur who becomes a star overnight. Strictly realistic are all the theatre scenes In the new Mae Marsh offering. A wonderful romance runs through
