TNEXT WEEK AT THE H E A T E R

WASHINGTON. In "The Isle of Conquest," Norma Talmadge's new Select special, the charming star again demonstrates that there is no height of expression too lofty for her. "The Isle of Conquest." Is a fast moving drama treating with a young girl's marriage to a wealthy waster, through the efforts of a designing mother. , Later the yacht upon which they are cruising is wrecked and she finds herself safe upon an uninhabited island with a stoker from the ship's hold. Months of isolation kindles within them a mutual love, and all hope of rescue having perished, they are preparing to enact their marriage rite when suddenly her husband appears to return her to his world of sham. Here the circumstances becomes tragic, concluding with an unexpected and sensational climax. The play will appear at the Washington theatre for four days, beginning tomorrow. WASHINGTON Wallace Reid's Latest starring ve

hicle is "The Lottery Man," which is coming to the Washington theater

next week. Originally produced at the Bijou Theater, New York. Its breezlness and fun-making qualities are said to have been retained in the screen version, and Wallace Reid, In the role of the chance-taking hero, gives a spirited performance. The story concerns a young man who, to pay a debt, impulsively starts a lottery with himself offered as prize to the woman holding the lucky coupon. Wanda Hawley and Harrison Ford are included In the cast. MURRAY. Everest's Monkey Hippodrome composed of twenty monkey actors, who will headline the bill at the Murray, opening Monday for the first half, is doubtless the most wonderful act of its kind upon the stage. A complete vaudeville show is given by the monkeys, supported by their own monkey orchestra and leader. An orchestra of fcoloists from the foremost conservatories of monkey land, rendering compositions of a director whose eccentricities are born from art alone. Here we have natures born representatives in an act which stands unrivaled for novelty. Robert Everest, the author, Inventor and producer of the "Monkey Hippodrome" has made the Simian a study for years, his knowledge of eccentricities, capabilities and inltitlative powers is remarkable, conceiving the idea through seeing some of his monkeys copying an athlete at work, he decided to train a company to furnish a regular program. After many efforts and a world of patience, "The Monkey Hippodrome" Is the result. It is an act that from the moment the curtain ascends laughter unalloyed fills the theatre. As an amusing act it has no equal and Is doubling interesting when one considers the time, trouble and patience Mr. Everest had in training them. Appearing on the same bill comes Hallen and Hunter, direct from the larger city circuits in their classy singing and comedy act, also Redman and Wells, a man and woman team who offer comedy and eccentric dancing. The picture the first half will be Florence Brockwell In "Flames of the Flcfih." Headlining the bill opening Thurs

day for last half will be Martine Style Show De Lux, which Is produced In conjunction with our leading local merchants. Mr. Martin carries six professional models who are adept at exploiting the latest gowns and lingerie, interspersing their moodeling with songs and dances. No local talent is employed whatever. The Temple Four, a very good singing , and comedy male quartet are booked, also comedians in "The jazs Doctcor," a vehicle chock full . of laughs. Pete Detzell of this act, was with Al. O.

Field's minstrels for years, where he was one of the comedians and pro

duced all the big dancing numbers. The screen feature for the week-end

will be H. B. Warner in "A Fugitive from Matrimony." Cash reservations for a "Tailor-Made Man," coming on Monday, March 8, may be had Monday,

March 1. RICHMOND.

Tom Mix, the cowpuncher actor,

wanted to catch an express train moving at the rate of 60 miles an hour.

! He didn't bother to flag it. He "roped

it" just as he used to rope wild cattle on the ranges of Texas before he entered motion picture work. Mix did this Btunt for his new drama, "Rough Riding Romance," to be shown at the Richmond theatre Saturday and Monday. This is only one of the perilous stunts Mix does in the "Romance," which proves his long established skill. Mix also makes a rapid dash on his trained horse, Tony, up six flights of a fire escape, and then rides up and down the grand staircase of a palace. He escapes a pursuing mob by swinging across an immense ball on a chandelier, and then lassoes a gun from a guard's hand to save himself and a princess.

Oxford Wrangle Crows;

Committee is Dismissed OXFORD, O.. Feb. 28 Village affairs are becoming more and more tangled. Friday evening Mayor Hughes announced the dismissal of the committee on garbage of the village council, consisting of MessrsElmer W. Hinkle, Charles Snively and Simon Fry. The cause for the removal of these men was given as gross neglect of duty and incompetency. . The other three members of council

were appointed on the committee. It la not believed that the action of the

mayor will proudce good results; and it is freely predicted that the removal of the old committee will only add

fuel to the fire of contention, which has been burning ever since the new council came into office. Also it is predicted that the fight between the

mayor and council members will end

In the courts before many days. ALUMNI MEETS

tures will be transferred to the First

subject win be, "Mighty Men for a

Day." At 7:30 p. m. the subject will be, "Life os a Masterpiece," Saturday, Dr. House spoke on, "Psychle Phenomena." "Hypnotism Is giving up the con

scious mind to the hypnotist and he

takes ' possession of the sub-conscious

mind through his conscious mind, and makes it do unreasonable things, because the sub-conscious has not reason in It, and can never be made to sleep," said Dr. House. "Telepathy is possible. The mind vibrates, so thought vibrates, and when one mind is keyed to another communication is possible. The law of transmission, however, has not yet been destroyed."
