MURRETTE. . Gaston Glass, a talented young actor who has an important role in support of Marguerite Clark in her new Paramount photoplay, "Let's Elope," the feature picture at the Murrette theatre today has a fine war record. Mr. Glass served in the French army Xor two years and won an enviable reputation for gallantry. Mr. Glass was born in France twenty-three years ago and came to the United States as a member of Mme. Bernhardt's company in 1916. He returned to France after a brief engagement here and took up arms in behalf of France. He was in numerous engagements prior to the signing of the armistice when he returned to this country and obtained an engagement to appear in Paramount pictures. MURRAY. One of the screen events of this week is the showing at the Murray Theatre of the new William Fox Excel picture, 'The Merry-Go-Round," starring Peggy Hyland in a setting of circus life. The picture has an intense love interst which might alone carry it easily to success. Through its medium of a bankrupt circus the romance is charmingly worked out. The plot is an excellent one, involving a kidnapping, a gypsy maiden as the heroine, wealth and poverty in paths that cross, and a most felicitous intermingling of love scenes and heroic action. Miss Hyland is seen at her best and her best it is difficult to match. MURRAY. Because the law say that a baby under two yeara shall not be photographed under a strong artificial light, Emile Chautard, director for Elsie Ferguson, in her late3t Artcraft picture, "Eyes of the Soul," which will be rhown at the Murray Theatre next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, opened up at the Ft. Lee studios after ihey had been closed all winter, and in a warm sunlit atmosphere the scene of Miss Ferguson holding her infant babe was taken. The baby, who by the way was only two days old, behaved in a very ladylike way and although she was. placed in a strange bed, with a strange mother and smiled at by strange persons the did not seem to object. When the camera began to grind she closed her eyes and was. soon fast asleep in her movje mother's arms. Miss Fer-. guson, fearing that she might awaken the child, continued to hold her long after the scene was over and the ride home was made in Miss Ferguson's car. MURRAY Bryant Washburn, a popular Paramount star, has been provided with one of tho best opportunities of his career in "A Very Good Young Man," his latest Paramount starring vehicle, which comes to the Murray theatre next Thursday. In "A Very Good Young Man" he plays the part of a young man who has none of the vices which are prevalent in most voune men of todav.

seriously. He soon became the most noted writer in this country who made use of the mountains of eastern Kentucky as the background for stories of moonshiners, illicit stills, feuds and feudists. Having won a following, he then began to write novels, of which he has contributed nearly a score to American literature. Of his novels two of them have been made into plays and eight into pictures.

The Washington Theatre presents Sunday, Monday and Tuesday what the most dramatic, soul-stirring drama set in the most lavish, colorful and artistic settings the screen has ever seen. This picture is "Sahara," starring Louise Glaum. C. Gardner Sullivan, the most famous of all photoplay authors, wrote "Sahara," which is a big Hodkinson picture presented by J. Parker Read, Jr., and supervised by Allan Dwan. Louis Glaum plays the role of Mignon, the darling of Paris, on whom her American husband, portrayed by Matt Moore, has wasted his fortune. He takes over an engineering job on the Saraha desert and Mignon, against her wishes but lured by the promise of a visit to Cairo, accompanies him and dwells in a luxurious tent on the burning sands. But six months of the sand and the praying Arabs drive her to such an utterly depraved state of discontent that she leaves her husband and goes to Cairo with Baron Alexis (Edwin Stevens). Years later she finds her husband demented and a victim of drugs, and her child begging in Cairo. He has swown to kill the woman who wrecked his life. She, with every desire fulfilled except that of happiness, is moved to her first deed of real, loving sacrifice the return of her husband's mind though it means her death! She does all in her power to cure him, and the day comes when she is recognized. What then of the butterfly who found her soul? Of the man who suffered a living death for the love of an unfaithful wife? Of the child who missed a mother's guiding hand when it was most needed? The climax will grip, surprise and please you. In a certain part of Persia there is a race of pigmy camels 5 feet iu ueight.

The history of the Sistine Chapel in Rome dates from the fourteenth Century, when the chapel " was built by Pope Sixtus as a sanctuary for the high services conducted by His Holiness. It has been the custom for several centuries for a special choir to take part in these ceremonies and with the building of the Sistine Chapel, this Papal choir took the name of the chapel and has ever since retained it. . The choir is acknowledged to be unsurpassed in the world. The art of Michael Angelo and Raphael have made the chapel a shrine for students and painters since the days when those masters created the works that adorn the walls and ceilings of the beautiful room. The place has inspired most of the great artists, composers and writers of the last three hundred years. As a boy Mozart visited the chapel and was thrilled by the choir and there were few before his time or afterward who did not journey to the Eternal City to hear the wonderful music. Small wonder then, that so much interest has centered around the distinguished singers from the Sistine choir who are now in America. They represent the loftiest standards of their art and present our public with first opportunity to hear ,the music for which Rome is celebrated.

That these four great singers are coming to Richmond is nothing )ess than a world event. Such an occasion was not dreamed of a week ago, but the chance to bring them was offered and immediately taken. The artists are to appear in the Coliseum on Monday night, Oct. 13.

fice has begun with the creation of a foreign trade bureau that is a decided innovation and a radical alteration of old-time methods of doing business. The whole basis of the foreign trade bureau is that Germany must on the one hand have very exact and accurate news reports of everything concerning foreign trade, from official and private trade reporters. Such information must flow directly into the office of a man trained and fitted to understand precisely the importance of a given piece of news. Men will be trained to study given countries, news from such countries will go directly to the experts of each.

Girl Giwn Military Scholarship at Illinois URBANA, 111., Oct. llr-Miss Ruby Mae Streitmatter of PrJnceyUle, IJL, will be given a military scholarship this year at the University of Illinois, the only girl among hundreds of men who" will be"J so classified. It is thought that she is the only one in the. state. The state law passed last spring provides a free scholarship to "persons" who served in the army, navy or marine corps of the United States, exclusive of the S. A. T. C, and who were at the time of entering service, either a student at the University or

residents of the state. Use of the word person shows that the law does not discriminate against womenMiss Streitmatter presented a release from the nurses training corps and her certificate showed that she had been in France nearly two years, serving at base hospitals and being accorded by the government the same privileges accorded to soldiers such as bonus and war risk insurance.
