WASHINGTON. i cesses starring George Befcan was The appeal of Mary J. Holmes' stor- i well merited. The character of "June"

their fairly accurate transcript of the

emotions that agitate the average woman's and girl's heart when obsessed by romance. "Temptest and Sunshine," the most sensationally successful of all the stories by this famous author is accounted the happiest approximation of this reflex of feminine psychology. The two characters of the story that most grip the imagination are two sisters, one even

tempered and of wholesome ainbi. tions, the other capricious, passionate in her likes and dislikes, and unscrupulously ambitious. These two characters are played one against the other, with a man the medium of their romantic excitements. The belle who will have her way willy niily comes to grief and the good 6ister wins happiness in the end. Once la a generation a Btory Is written that hits the bulls-eye of popular favor that literally runs round the world. Such good fortune followed "Tempest and Sunshine", one of the twenty odd novels written by Mary J. Holmes, one of the most successful of all women writers who plays upon the romantic desires of adolescent femininity. And now the same degree of success that met the book form of the romance of the South is being repeated in filmland. The J. Frank Hatch Enterprises of Newark, N. J., are circulating a production in film of the famous story, and everywhere around the compass acclaim of the biggest sort is greeting the venture. And happily, the celluloid form of the, imperishable story is said to intensify the big effects that made the

Little Ben Alexander, who scored a big hit in "Hearts of the World," nab in "Bob" one of the most important roles ever played by a child actor. Around this little fellow revolves the entire latter part o&the story. Pauline Curley, one of the real blonde beauties of the screen, who has many Metro successes to her credit, plays the young wife. Lloyd Hughes, who has recently

come to the silent drama from the speaking stage, proves himself remarkably adapted to screen-drama in the difficult part of Paul Perry, the headstrong and impulsive young husband. George Nichols, who has had a long and successful career both as actor and producer, does a fine piece of work as Hamilton Perry, the tyrannical money-mad capitalist. Before coming to the Bcreen Mr. Nichols appeared lnstock in San Francisco and Chicago for fourteen years. He was assistant t6 Griffith at Biograph for three years, subsequently going to Thanhouser as director. Winter Hall is another well-known actor who has an important role.

MURRAY Just before starting work on "A

Very Good Young Man," Bryant Wash- ' burn's new Paramount picture which

is drawing delighted audiences to the Murray theatre this week. Direction Donald Crisp took a vacation and visited several of the wildest parts of Mexico and then journeyed to the South Sea Islands, some of which are still inhabited by cannibals. Mr. Crisp states that the trip was an education. He came near being "et up by the cannibals" and neither love nor money could persuade him to go through the experience again.

WASHINGTON The history of amusement purveying in this country has been a constant series of attempts to present

something new. The very latest ac-

MURRETTE William Fox will present "Checkers," the famous racing play, as a motion picture at the Murrette Theatre for a run of 3 days, starting Thursday. Advance reports promise a picture of

great pretension, superbly executed. Richard Stanton directed the workAs a stage play "Checkers" was a

I classic. There are many big spec

tacular scenes in the film, such as an actual race at one of the large tracks, a thrilling train wreck in which a freight car containing several persons and a race horse topples into a river, and a sensational scene in New York's Chinatown. MURRAY Edith Kennedy, who wrote the scenario for "The Home Town Girl," which is on view at the Murray theatret next week, was painfully injured when her automobile skidded and dashed into a tree recently. Her face was cut by flying glass from the windshield, but no permanent markings will result from the mishap. Vivian Martin has the steller role in the photoplay.

it is the best girl show on the circuit and that Julian Hall, the featuring comedian is one of the cleverest comedians vaudeville has had in years. Thl3 Is a Pepple and Harris production and as is customary with all their productions, extreme care and careful thought was given to the selection of a principal. After much deliberation as "The Jazz Boy" was selected as the feature. Mr. Hall's last engagement was at the Century Roof Garden, in New York City, where he held sway for an entire season. His versatility

is ably demonstrated in this act, his various comicalities producing unrestrained laughter throughout the offering. Surrounding Mr. Hall are a bevy of beautiful singing and dancing girls, each one capable of enacting a

principal role. This youthful sextette of fickle feminity keep the audience busy noting the wonderful costume changes, smart dances and ensemble" singing numbers as they deport themselves during the progress of the act. An elaborate display of scenery is caj-ried the most prominent being the enlarged reproduction of a Kodak (Continued on Page Three)
