7 WASHINGTON Charles Ray, the -youthful motion picture star, has been spending most of his time recently 'straightening the kinks out of his tongue. For weeks Pbarlie .found it, difficult to talk to people with any degree of clearness. The reason for It was that In his latest Thomas 'Hi Ince picture, "Alarm Clock Andy." to be seen at the Washington Theatre for four days starting tomorrow, he has the role of a country boy who stutters. Always a stickler for realism, Charlie took a stammering property man as a model and In a few days could make hi speech dance the "hesitation" to perfection. All through the filming of "Alarm

Clock Andy," the "boy wonder" stuttered and. splutered. To keep In practice, he insisted upon doing it between

oenes and outside of working hours

Sympathetic waiters and friends not

,"in the show" lamented that Mr. Ray

had lost his voice." Others comment

ed that It was a fortunate thing he

was in the silent drama and not on

jthe stage. . ,

Stage patrons will recall "Mrs. Tem

ple's Telegram." as on of the funniest

faroes ere produced, and. It Is declared, photoplay fans will carry away delightful memories of the film ver

sion when It is shown at the Wash

ington theatre next Thursday, Friday

and Saturday. But to Bryant wash

burn, wbo stars In the picture, it will always bring back to his mind the

most appalling toothache In history. .Just before production started on t'Mrs. Temple's Telegram," the tooth Itarted '"acting up." Mr. Washburn tad it pulled at once, but ft left its sting In the form of a badly swollen Jaw. When the actor appeared In the offing, yon first noticed that Jaw. protruding out even beyond his wide-brimmed hat, so Mr, Washburn claims. When Bryant reported for duty. Director James Craze threw up his hands in dismay. Then he had a bright Idea. . "Let me write it into the scenario," he suggested to Elmer Harris, who adapted the picture, "This prize Jaw is too! good to miss." ; "Not on your life,' protested Mr. Washburn. "This is no laughing master, and I can't possibly be funny on the screen with it." So they compromised and postpone'! starting, the picture for thre days, until the really very handsome Washburn face became normal. That the recovery was complete is manifested by the exuberant spirits that Bryant shows on the screen. Wand Hawley is the leading woman. RICHMOND. " A remarkable cast was assembled to assist Wallace Reid in his new Paramount-Artcraft picture, "The Lottery Man," which wijl he the attraction at the Richmond theatre Sunday and Monday. The leading lady is Wanda Hawley, a beautiful and talented actress who has played opposite practically every prominent star in the film world. She has the role of the girl for whom Mr. Reid, as Jack Wright, makes frantic attempts to call off his scheme to win $300,000. Harrison Ford, who has been leading ,man for Marguerite Clark and other stars, plays a part , of but little less importance than the star's. He lend3 a breeziness and good facte to his work that helps maintain the swift action and hilarious quality df the- picture. Sylvia Ashton, who Is fapidly gaining a reputation as a comedienne of the first rank, draws a rain of laughs 'toy her humorous performances, a character part. Her foil and fellow-getter is Carolyn Rankin. "The Lottery Man" is a picturization of the striking Broadway success in which Cyril Scott scored such an emphatic hit. .femes Cruze was the director.

MURRAY What purports to be a big-time bill

is underlined to open , Monday, at the Murray for the first half and the en

tire week. Coming Monday for three

days will be "What Love Will Do,"

a musical comedietta, with two com

edians and three girls, featuring Al

Weber, comedian. This little company

carries their own special stage set

tings, elaborate wardrobe changes.

while the work of the comedians is

said to be unusually good, and the

girls very attractive. The remaining

two acts are Newlin and Wills in "Syn

copation At a Mile a Minute," and Gladys Green and company In a series

of classic and popular dances. The screen f eautre is Buck Jones in "The Square Shooter." Dot Marsell, who scored a hit here last season returns Thursday tor the last half, as the headliner, with five new boys, new songs, scenery and wardrobe. Also on the same bill will be Mack and Bernard, "The Palm Beach Tramps." and Stanley Galini and company, "Novel European Shadoaista." Henry B. Walthall is the screen atraction appearing in "The Boomerang,"'' his latest production. MURRAY. A pair of luminous eyes glowing through the night is a fearsome thing, as well may be imagined. When Buck Jones, the new sensation of the screen whom William Fox will present In "The Square Shooter" of this week,' at the Murray Theatre, was busy photo

graphing, this feature, he was kept awake many nights because a big owl insisted on perching in a tree near his tent and making night dismal with hoots. When Buck could stand it no longer he took his rifle and started out to get the owl. He could not see an owl in the tree, but he did see two glistening eyes near the ground. Buck aimed between the creature's eyes and fired. A howl that followed his shot proved It was Just as well that his aim was true. Ernest Shields, another member of the company, appeared with a lantern and it was found that Buck had,shot a wildcat. "I guess that owl meant well after all when he woke me up in time for me to get that wildcat," was Buck Jones' only comment. MURRAY. "A Master Stroke," which is being shown at the Murray theater Saturday and Sunday, again presents Earle Williams in a role that is partly serious and sometimes light comedy, although not so out-alid-out comedy as Winchell Smith's play, "The Fortune Hunter," in which he recently met with such great, success. It is a comedy-drama of wits, women and Wall Street. There are many original touches in the story, one of the unexpected situations being the attempt to "crack" a safe to return money, not to steal it. Vola Vale is Mr. Williams' leading woman. MURRETTE. Do cards foretell the future?

They are weirdly prophetic in '.'The I Fortune Teller," the Robertson-Cole ! Super-Special, starring Marjorie Ram-

beau, the greatest emotional actress of the American stage, which closes today at the Murrette Theatre. The screen version of the celebrated stage success dealing with motherlove and psychic phenomena Is even more powerful than the play, the big scenes of which necessarily were limited by the stage restrictions. "The Fortune Teller" shows a great actress in a great story filled with tense, dramatic situations. The action is rapid and big scene follows big scene with almost breath-taking swiftness. But the "big scenes" are only "pot-boilers" in comparison with the truly great moments of the picture which show Miss Rambeau at the very pinnacle of her art.

Whether cards are false or true

prophets is a debatable question, but in "The Fortune Teller" they form the basis of a plot Inextricably woven with

the appeal of mother-love ana the mysteries of psychic phenomena. MURRETTE A really worth-while attraction is scheduled at the Murrette for Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, when the now King Vidor photoplay, "The JackKnife Man," released through the First National, fills its engagement at that theatre. "The Jack-Knife Man" is a charming

little story taken from the novel of

Ellis Parker Butler of the same title,

In the central character it introduces

us to a quaintly lovable old chap,

whose greatest ambition in life is to

assist in making

for his fellow beings.

comes when a little

boy Is left in his charge by his dying

mother. The settings of this picture are mostly unfamiliar to the majority of people" and doubly interesting for that reason. Most of the action transpires in a little hamlet nestling on the banks of the Mississippi River and on an odd little shanty-boat the home of Peter, the Jack-Knife Man. The cast has been carefully selected..
