If you were a poor lawyer with little of no practice and harrassed by creditors, would you accept $100,000 to marry a woman who is an utter stranger to you and who, by the way, is conspicuous by her plainness? Would you accept such a bride, even though the marriage was to be a merely perfunctory affair and you be divorced within twelve months? These were the problems that confronted Fredeiick Tile, the hero of "Here Comes the Bride," the latest Paramount photoplay starring John Barrymore. the famous actor. Tile

Hyland Is cast as a member of one of these families, but her sympathy Is with the neighboring object of family hatred. Numerous situations of a highly thrilling nature are developed from this condition, resulting finally in the young woman leaving her home at night during a tremendous wind and rain storm. The picture was made by William Fox, the director being William C. Dowlan. At the Murray Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Little Shirley Mason, who has formerly co-starred In Paramount pictures with Ernest Truex, and who Is now starring in "The Winning Girl," a Paramount picture, will be &een with Niles Welch in that production at the Murray theater next Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Miss Mason is one of the daintiest of screen players, with both talent and beauty of high order, and has a notable record for legitimate stage work in "The Squaw Man," "The Poor Little Rich Girl" and in many other well known and successful motion pictures. She Is In the five foot class, but when in short dresses, , which she wears in many scenes of the new picture, looks even smaller. Miss Mason was born in Brooklyn, N. Y., and privately educated. She made her stage debut when she was four years old, with William Faversham, as Little Hal in "The Squaw Man." She is a splendid swimmer and equestrienne and an accomplished pianist. Undoubtedly her new Paramount

MURRAY As dramatized for the picture starring Peggy Hyland. the George Barr McCutcheon story, "Cowardice Court," might fairly be called a satire on the idle rich. The photoplay is to show

here Monday for the first time, and 1 undoubtedly will Increase Murray the- j atrf.' patrons' good impression 01 Miss Hyland. There is much good

comedy, particularly during the scenes J

laid in a haunted bouse, and the love theme, which is the basis of the play, is most entertainingly and convincingly developed. The dramatic, interest turns on the trouble between two families over property in the Adiiondacks. Miss

than excellent. Those who saw his last production, "Don't Change Your Husband," are still talking about it, and no one can forget his older pic

tures, such as "The Squaw Man," or "Old Wives for New." "We Can't Have Everything," "Till I Come Back to You" and "The Whispering Chorus." Quite significant is the title, "The Busher," given the Thomas H. InceParamount photoplay, with a baseball atmosphere, which comes to the Murray theatre for two days, commencing Wednesday. Charles Ray portrays the title role. He appears first as a baseball twlrler In the bush league. His regular business is being hired man for Deacon Nasby, and his Sunday baseball playing has to be done on the quiet. The Blue Sox of the professional league laid over in Brownville by a washout on the railroad, see the country boy's throwing and he becomes a member of the big team. Success Inflates his chest and he forgets the fervid promises he made a little country girl before he left and falls for the wiles of the city vampire. On the particular day that all Brownville comes to see him pitch, his overconfldence proves his undoing and he Is taken from the game in disgrace. The city girl "throws him down." The only one giving him any sympathy is the litle girl from the hick town. Ha goes back to his job as hired man resolved never again to throw a baseball. Curiosity, however, makes him" climb a tree to see the rubber game of the bush league.

WASHINGTON The famous beauty of the screen and stage, Olive Thomas, is to be seen on the screen of the Washington theatre on Monday and Tuesday in her latest feature, "The Follies Girl." It is doubtful if a more ideal part could have been selected for the girl whom Harrison Fisher has designated as the most beautiful show-girl in America. For Miss Thomas first claimed the attention of the public as a dancer atop Ziegfeld's New Amsterdam Roof in New York about two years ago. So her presentation as a "Follies Girl" is fact as well as fiction. As Dorothea, Miss Thomas is offered every opportunity for the display

or ner cnarmmg personality and unusual talents. Through scheming relatives who hope to inherit much wealth through the untimely death of their old uncle, fresh from the footlights this actress is forced to care for the Invalid in the guise of a nurse. But. much to the surprise of the assembly, Miss Thomas, through tender cue and devotion, stimulates a new lease of life in the new-found relative, and he is quickly on the road to recovery. All become involved in embarrassing situations and are forced to show their true colors wh?n ro

mance favors the little soubrette, and

united with the new nephew whom be had disowned.

When those who know a good thing

visit the Washington theatre next Wednesday they will gee one of the funniest farces that ever reached the celluloid "No Mother to Guide Him." This comedy is a Paramount Mack

Sennett offering with Ben Turpin, Myrtle Lind, Charles Lynn, Baldy Bel

mont and others in the cast.

MURRETTE What a situation for poor Jack Trevor! He disclosed his identity to his aunt, but she refused to believe he was anyone but Horace Barney. Beautiful Helen Townsend met him with a similar reception. So did everybody he encountered. When he protested people touched their foreheads and declared he was mad. Anyone who wishes to see a comedy drama with uproariously funny situations and thrilling dramatic episodes should not fail to see George Walsh

in his new William Fox production, I "Putting On Over," which has its

final showing at the Murrette theatre today. Walsh, as the hero, recovers consciousness after a train wreck to find himself under a new name and taken for the heir to an Immense estate. Crooks are working a decidedly original and mysterious game with him. But when George gets next to their nachlnations the fur certainly flies in typical George Walsh style. "Putting One Over" is a decided film treat to the last foot of film, and fully justifies the crowds it has drawn during its run.

whimsical characterizations for which Wallace Irwin, its author, is famous, is back of it. The character of Buddy McNair, portrayed by Mr. Washburn, is one of the most lovable, amusing and human figures the screen has given us in some time. Buddy is rather an unusual character for Mr. Washburn to assume, for he is a westerner who strikes it rich when he inherits a formula from his father for a process of reducing gold from mine tailings and low grade ores. Buddy dreams of the good things of life which are represented to him by his vision of the evening star, Venus. He has seen a picture of Mrs. Pat Dyvenot in a New York newspaper and he has come to call her his "Venus In the East." (Continued on Page Three)

MURRAY VAUDEVILLE

It is almost unprecedented In theatrical annals that a theatre can be filled to its full capacity with the mercury soaring merrily around 96, but tLat Is exactly what has been done nightly at the Murray where Billy Purl's Musical Comedy company is

nuing a two-weeks' engagement. When Purl appeared here last winter he was the principal comedian with the Gus Shy company, which appeared a week

at the Murray. At that time be confided to Manager frank Holland his managerial dreams and of the Urns when he would be at the head of bis own company, and today they have all come true, and if he Keeps going at :

the pace is Is now, it it is safe to predict that his company will soon : be In the first rank of musical comedy organizations.

The play for the first half. Monday matinee will be "At the Depot , Lunch," with an entire change of scenery and wardrobe as well as mu-, steal numbers. In conversation with -Mr. Purl he stated without any show -of egotism that his company held the " record for business In every city they played, despite any weather conditions, and he ventured the assertion that Richmond would be no exception . and from all indications his prediction is coming true, for they are playing to full houses matinees as well as the evening performances. The picture for the first half will be Peggy Hyland In "Cowardice Court," a fivereel Fox production, while the last half's screen attraction will be Shirley Mason in "The Winning Girl," a five-reel Paramount production shown in conjunction with the Billy Purl show.

Chiropractic has been successful in removing the cause of Hay Fever to a large degree. In my practice I have seen it abated in the majority of instances, permitting the patient to remain at his work with but little annoyance, while in other instances a full restoration to normal conditions prevailed with no return symptoms.
