Theatres J WASHINGTON No recent production la films has scored the big popular success everywhere accorded "Tempest and Sunshine," a motion picture version of Mary J. Holmes' novel of the same title. Tha play is said to exceed the fascination of the story, which was prodigious, the sates of the original novel since publication, 20,000,000 copies. The direction of the motion picture version of the romance is said to be particularly attractive in many of its big effects, the thunder and lightning storm that bursts upon the astonished wedding party In the old Kentucky plantation at the very instant tJiat "Tempest" and her entrapped Wwain, the New Orleans Beau Lacy, being among these effective realisms. The scenes take in all the principal incidents of the original Holmes' story, the Middleton plantation, the scenes In around the post office leading up to Joe Dunne's theft of the letters from Lacy to "Sunshine," the plot of "Tempest" to steal Lacy from hef sister, the part that the Northern schoolteacher, Wiimot, plays in the destinies of the two girls, including his tragic death, the drowning of the village nondescript whose body is mistaken for Julia's and the other successively and comulatively gripping occurrences that make up the drama are all included in the film reflex. There is a picture of Julia's return after her flight from the wedding ceremony, following Joe Dunne's denunciation, also a scene of final reconciliation when Sunshine forgives her erring and passionate rival for Lacy's heart. THE REAL LILLIAN GISH. ' I would be terribly nervous were I to become a star and be exploited everywhere. So much is expected of a star, for the public is of such exacting and changing tastes. Fortunately for me, my experiences have been of the most pleasant kind and people have been good enough to say many nice and encouraging things about my work in 'Broken Blossoms." " Thus spoke Miss Lillian Gish th3 real Lillian Gish. And to show the simplicity of her taste and the modesty of her wishes, the was induced to speak o'f her work under D. W. Griffith's direction, a work that found its first real expression in "The Birth o a Nation," and which has been

"Mr. Griffith trains all of his players how not to act. That is the very first thing he insists upon. We must move through our parts just as we would in real life. There must be no artificial expressions and no posing. Mr. Griffith teaches that to express an emotion you must feel it; then the expression will be real. Mr. Griffith is a dreamer who makes his dreams come true, and his Ideals of truth and beauty are contagious. It is more difficult not to understand him than It Is to understand him. His very simplicity of method and his quiet direction make for complete harmony between his players and himself." N'ext to her admiration for Mr. Griffith and her love of her work in the films, Miss Gish is devoted to her library and her treasured books. With her mother and sister Dorothy she lives in a pretty white house in Hollywood, Los Angeles, and 6pends her hours away from the studio in reading and motoring. Very few motion picture fans know that it was Mrs. Mary Gish, motheiof the two popular Gish sisters, who j paved the way for her daughters toj become prominent in the world of tho ! movies. Mrs. Gish was left a widow j in Baltimore when she was but twenty- j three years of age. Some months after 1 the husband and father had passed i away Mrs. Gish was in New lork. j p She had her two girls with her, tiny little blondes with curly locks, and it ; soon become a problem what should bo done for their support. One day a ! friend of hers mentioned a popular Btock company. "Why don't you try for something there?" the friend ; asked. Mrs. Gish was astonished. "I ! never have been on the stage." re-1 sponded. "That doesn't matter," was i the assurance; "all you need i3 the j Job." j The result of it was that Mrs. Gish j applied for the "job" and, of all won-j Uers to her, she was accepted. From ! a very humble beginning she was ad- j vanced to better parts, and her work! provided a good living for herself and her little golden-haired daughters.

But a very few years after that the beautiful little Gish sisters were taken to the old Biograph studio in Fourteenth Street, New York, by none other than our own Mary Pickford, a neighbor. The first picture in which they appeared was called "An Unseen Enemy." It was a two-reeler" and the cast included Grace Henderson, Elmer Booth (now dead), Harry Carey and young Robert Harron, now a Griffith star. One critic wrote: "the two little
girl3 are not actresses, but they are in a good place to learn acting." And that prophecy has been fulfilled. MURRETTE "Come on, Remorse!" How well one remembers the cry in "Checkers," the famous racing play which held the stage so many years, played the coun try from end to end over and over again, and made millions for its owners. Remorse wins the rich stakes in the play, although unknown up to that time. Remorse, Checkers, Push Miller. Pert Barlow and the rest they all come to life again in the mammoth William Fox film production or "Checkers," which was shown yesterday at the Murrette theatre for a run of three days. Richard Stanton, who staged the picture, has taken advan tage of the outdoor atmosphere to l make one of the most spectacular pictures ever shown in this town. Checkers is a reformed race-track tout who falls in love with a Southern beauty. His adventure is beset with troubles, but he overcomes every obstacle.

MURRAY That she is "the sweetest little girl in the movies," 13 a phrase that is gradually becoming linked with the name of Vivian Martin, who stars in Paramount pictures. Miss Martin's portrayals are always so unaffected that those who see her pictures might almost be said to be in love with her. In her latest production, "The Home Tow V Girl," which will be shown at the Murray theatre today, Miss Martin plays the role of a quaint, little New England girl, whose fidelity to the man she loved is as immovable as the mountain. It is the sort of role which has gained for her the great t. my of admirers of which she can, hr does not, boast.
