".. WASHINGTON. '. A photoplay differing from the usual order, played in a quieten tempo but with a greater volume of real drama, Js the attraction promised in "The Tolnt of View; Elaine Hammerstein's jiew starring vehicle tor Selznick Pictures, which will be shown at the Washington theatre for two days beginning today. t This is a photoplay depicting the troubles caused a family by the maintenance of a bulwark of. pride against the worldly troubles that beset them. Elaine Hammerstein portrays the role of Marjory -Thorncroft, who enters Jnto a loveless marriage to further the ambitions of her violinist brother1, who has dreams of being a king of the concert stage. After a year studying in Europe his first performance proves a frost, and then the storm breaks. Miu Hajtimerstein is supported by

a capable cast, including Rockcliffe

'Yale Durant was displeased by the

Sir Stuart M. Samuel. Sir Stuart M. Samuel is at the head of the British commission which, after investigating Jewish conditions in Poland, placed the entire blame for the bloody pogroms upon the Polish irovernment. The report brings shocking details of brutality displayed by soldiers in persecuting the Jewish population, and cites numerous cases where Jewish women were stripped naked and flogged mercilessly without cause.

venture, Yale was delighted to learn hat Blanche had eloped and married Chapman, leaving him free. The exciting story, adapted from the popular novel by Frederic Van Rensselaer Dey, has been put into pictures by Vitagraph, and is now showing at the Murray theater. The role of Yale Durant gives Earle Williams, the popular Vitagraph star, splendid opportunities for the display of his talent. At the opening of the picture play, Yale has decided to end his life, after squandering a large fortune in the pursuit of pleasure. By a grim irony of fate, George Trevor, who had aided Yale's father in financial difficulties more than once, calls upon the penniless Yale for a loan of $300,000 for three days, to save a big

deal which would wipe out Trevor's fortune if it were lost. Yale promises

to lend the money "tomorrow" if he is alive. His suicide is to take place that night. . , An opportunity is presented to get the , money, by desperate measures, and the suicide is postponed. At the end of four days of exciting events, Yale decides that life is worth living after all. MURRAY VAUDEVILLE All three acts of the Murray vaudeville the latter half of this week seem a trifle tame. Rapid fire give and take so much enjoyed by vaudeville attenters is noticeably lacking. At times dull spots appear and the acts are hard put in getting applause. Williams and Daisy open the . bill. Special scenery representing a western ranch lends reality to the setting. Daisy sings "You're a Million Miles from Nowhere When You're One Little Mile from Home" with excellent effect. The performance that follows is staged by Williams. While his act of juggling cannon balls is a difficult one, and appreciated as such. by the audience, it is one similar to that recently seen at the theater. His work reaches a climax when he catches eight cannon balls in 10 seconds on the back of his neck from a height of 20 feet.

Tom Beeson-and Trixie Harris in a

singing and dancing skit entitled "Left

in the Lurch," have several spots of

dullness in their act. It seems that

with visible effort they "put across"

some especially comic parts. Their

singing together is good, and the act

would be strengthened much by more of it. Melvin, Swift and Lawrence, headliners for the last half, succeeded in getting the audience into a receptive mood. The three consist of a black

face, rube and stranght man. The colored gentleman, as is often the

case, thaws out the doom and with

the backing given by some ciever character work of the rube, wins the

applause of the house. What wit that

was lacking in their jokes is made up by their singing. Their voices .har

monize well and please. More of It would also help bolster up their effect.

Earle Williams in "A Master Stroke-

is the photoplay attraction.

Many a man who thinks his per

suasive powers are sufficient to control the affairs of -nation, would not

even make a good book agent.
