WASHINGTON "The Shadow of Rosalie Bvrnes.

which booked at the Washington for two days beginning Friday, is widely heralded as an unusual picture, for several reasons. To begin-with, Elaine Hammerstein, the star, does double duty in the story, as' she stakes the part of twins of diametrically opposed characters,' and as one of them for the first time deserts her recognized metier that of the refined, gently reared "home" girl. - Then, the plot of Rosalie Byrnes Is said to be something absolutely unlike anything-that has ever been seen on the screln. both in' treatment ' and handling. It is characterized by an element of suspense which enters in the first reel and stays by the picture until the end." An unscrupulous vaudeville actress and a refined concert singer these are the parts Miss Haraerstein por-

life difficult for the other, jid a host of complications ensue that make an engrossing story and provide an interesting study in contrasts. MURRETTE Mother Goose has gotten Into the movies.

Previous to joining the Buck Jones

company; Mr. J Heck always rode a horse" in polite and gentlemanly fashion he never had done any 'Western riding. The script of Forbidden

Irans called for him to head a posse of wild riders. Director Scott Dunlop explained what he wanted Heck to do, and how to do it, then said; -"Go ahead!" ' ' . "It didn't seem funny to me until I got through," said Heck, Vthat a man whose riding had been done chiefly in New York's Central Park should be heading a troop of genuine Western cowboys. But Dunlap told me to do it, and I did." . ; . RICHMOND. When Edward Sloman, who directed the screen production of the famous Stewart Edward White novel, "The
