Friday and Saturday "The Spite Bride." " WASHINGTON "Better Times" is aptly titled. If ever a screen play carried a message of optimism and good cheer, this is one. Written by King W. Vidor, the brilliant young author of that notable success, "The Turn in the Road," "Better Times" has an individuality and charm that will not fail to please. It was produced by Brentwood for Robertson-Cole and is distributed by Exhibitors Mutual. ZaZu Pitts, who plays Nancy Scroggs, is a comedienne with a style all her own, and she succeeds in giving just the right touch of pathos to a rather eccentric and thoroughly refreshing character. This picture will be shown at the Washington theatre Wednesday and Thursday. v-isfcSfflaiJ Some time in his life everyone has had to patronize one of these terrible establishments where they get you

into a chair and drill wells Into your countenance. At the time, perhaps, it never occurred to you that there was anything funny in the process; but you will think differently when you see "The Dentist." One of the most ludicrous situations ever shown on the screen takes place in the office where Charlie Murray is the dentist and Mario Provost, the pretty stenographer, is a patient.

Beaux," which Goldwyn distributes, will be seen at the WashingtonTheatre beginning Sunday, expressed himself or the opinion that the eternal triangle motive in comedy maintained its hold on motion picture patrons because of the fidelity of theme. "Both 'high-brows' and 'lowbrows' are folk with the same fundamental instincts; and when the honor of their families is at stake, act in pretty much the same way," said "Smiling Bill."

FILM OF FASHION IS LATEST NOVELTY

A motion picture of particular interest to the women in this city will be shown here within a short time. It is the first motion picture film devoted exclusively to the exploitation of fashions, and is to be shown here through the courtesy of the Wooltex studios, for whom it was produced by Universal, under the personal supervision of Harry Levey, general manager of the educational department. The latest creations and, in fact, creations yet to be placed on sale in the New York shops will be shown draped upon the prettiest and cleverest models it is possible to obtain. These young women were selected as

MURRAY A bevy of pretty girls surrounding an old friend who made us laugh a few weeks ago will predominate the new bill opening at the Murray Monday matinee for the first half. Headlining the bill will be the miniature musical comedy, "Rolling Along," a splash of song and dance sprayed with laughter, featuring Woods, Young and Phillips, the trio which made such a hit here about six weeks ago. Charles Wood, the comedian, will be remembered by his catch line "I Like a Ford." This time they return at the head of a new vehicle with the scene laid aboard ship with Woods in the role of cabin a boyv The act is one big laugh from open'ing to closing, and Mr. Woods is said to be funnier than ever. To add to the feminine majority of the show we will also have the Melroy Sisters, two dainty Misses in songs and dances, and Dave Roth, a versatile singing comedian who has long been an established act upon the "Big-time" circuits. To complete an already excellent nrogram, Albert Ray in his latest

Fox comedy, "Wards and Music by" j

will be offered. Headlining the bill opening Thursday will be Baraban and Grops in a big spectacular dancing novelty featuring "Aztec" in Indian Love. Elaborate setting are carried for this act with dances offered from the Japanese, modern Jazz, to the Indian and Apache. This act is said to be one of the most pretentious in vau

deville. The comedy portion will be ; supplied by Bernard and Myers who .

come here direct from Keith s, Indianapolis. Their offering is termed "The Cabby and the Fare," and is screamingly" funny. Another interesting fea

ture will be Dedi Veldie & Co., in their '

act entitled "Charlie Chaplin's Capers in the Park." In this act a wonder impersonation of Chaplin is offered. Dorothy Dalton in her latest Paramount production "The Lady of Red Butte" will be the screen attraction the last half. While these acts maybe new here, they compose the new vaudeville offerings for the season, who have just passed the crucible of the New York bookers, and who are just opening their seasons work. The management state they comprise the best obtainable in vaudeville, and that loal patrons have a treat witing them this seson.

SUNDAYMONDAY TUESDAY The Mary Pickford Company presents

rTK m

WASHINGTON. A pet kitten afflicted with fits, instructions in toughening the shimmie dance, a method for establishing amicable relations between Ireland and Jerusalem, how to catch crooks with a milk bottle, how to shock a butler with a powder puff these are a few of the comical situations in "The Hoodlum," Mary Pickford's second production from her own studios which will he seen commencing Sunday at the Washington Theatre. As Amy Burke, Miss Pickford has an unusual role. She is first seen as a spoiled granddaughter of the very wealthy Alexander Guthrie. Silk pajamas, several fancy-built roadsters, a private tutor with shell-rim glasses are a few of her possessions. Amy pertly informs her granddad that there? is no chance for her to visit Europe with him; she is going to live with her father. Life for Amy in the tenements seems one long siege of degradition. While her grandfather is supposedly visiting the crowned heads of Europe, Amy is watchins the crowned cans of beer being distributed in Creighen Street. Among those whom Amy meets in the tenements are Dish Lowry, a little chap with an appetite for hardboiled eggs; William Turner, a

struggling artist with a past not as i black as it is painted, and Peter Coop-; -v. a wealthy old recluse, whom Amy tries to "frame" for a crap game. "Smiling Bill" Parsons, whose latest Capitol Comedy, "Chasing Rain-

types for the display of trie particular garments they wear. The result of this, and of the painstaking direction given the production, has resulted in one of the most beautiful as well as entertaining photoplays yet released, with an educational theme. Lavish settings, choice garments, all

of which are those which dictates of Fashion have pointed out as the correct thing for the Fall and Winter seasons, and superb photography makes this production stand alone in its own field. Its object is described in its title, which is "That Well Dressed Look." '"That Well Dressed Look," second edition, is now being booked in all of the important theatres of the country. It will be shown at the Washington theatre Wednesday and Thursday, September 24 and 25. PRAEGER PROMISES AIR M r ' L TO v I INDIES NEW YORK. Setit. 20 Inautnira,
