WASHINGTON A , collection of valuable furs that T-ill make feminine eyes open wide is , promised in "Behold My Wife!" the Paramount picture that will have
its local premiere at the Washington
Theatre Sunday. The story was adapted from Sir Gilbert Parker's novel, "The Translation of a Savage," and like the most of this famous author's works, the scenes are laid in the Canadian Northwest. To secure the proper atmosphere, Director George Melford took his company to the Sierra Mountains, in northern California, and there in the snowclad peaks and valleys most of the action' was filmed. Some of the scenes represent dog trains coming in to the trading posts from hunting expeditions, the sledges laden down with furs. Several prominent furriers on the Pacific coast loaned the choicest specimens from their stocks for these
scenes. Some of the loads which the Indians carry upon their backs during the course of the story are worth into six figures. i "Behold My Wife!" is the story of an Indian girl, whom a rich young Englishman, in a moment of drunken rage against his family, married to disgrace them, and how she turned the tables upon him. Mabel Julienne Scott plays the role of the heroine," and Milton Sills and Elliott Dexter are also in the cast. Frank Condon adapted the story to the screen. RICHMOND. "The II, P. Trail," a Hodkinson release, which is coming to the Richmond Theatre, Sunday, is the latest photoplay production of Benjamin B. Hampton, the pioneer maker of pictures from great novels. This, the
photoplay version of Zane Grey's most" powerful romance, is admitted to beT the producer's most virile drama. The success of his first productions, "The j
Westerners" and "Desert Gold," from j
the novels of Stewart Edward White and Zane Grey respectively, bflth released beneath the Hodkinson banner, started the wave of all-star novel produel ions. Mr. Hampton was the pioneer of
this type of production and his latest;
drama proves that he remains unique in his ability to produce great pictures that carry to the screen the underlying motive, the balance, the finish, the powerful sweep of great novels. He followed his initial productions with Emerson Hough's "The Sagebrusher," Zane Grey's "Riders of the Dawn," and Winston Churchill's "The Dwelling Place of Light." and now comes "The IT. P. Trail," the most
powerful and vivid, the greatest triumph of them all. MURRAY William Fox's noted cowboy star Buck Jones will be seen at the Murray Theatre beginning next Monday in a lively Western picture called "Sunset Sprague." The author of the story is Clyde C. Westover, who is forging to the front as a writer for the screen. Jones has made a big reputation for himself as a daring horseman. The story of "Sunset Sprague" gives him an opportunity to display his best horsemanship and in the midst of a pretty romance. Sunset Sprague is a happy-go-lucky cowboy looking for a job on the range when he meets a man who draws him into the quest for a stolen mine which belongs to a plucky girl. This girl is defying the bandits who killed her father and took possession of the mine. Sunset starts after the band, and when he finishes with them they are glad to disappear and leave the mine to the girl and the girl to Sunset. MURRAY VAUDEVILLE
An unusually strong holiday bill has been. booked Christmas week at The Murray, opening Monday matinee. Skipper, Kennedy and Reeves, harmony singers and comedians in "College Campus Capers" will headline the bill opening Monday afternoon. This act boasts of a very funny blackface comedian, and the entire act is built for laughing purposes. The three supporting acts are Thomas and Frederick Sisters," "A Paprika Of Song and Dance"; Arthur and Lydia Wilton, in their singing sketch, "Just Kisses", and Kate and Wiley, "A Harmony of Stretgth, Grace and Dexterity." The screpn feature for the first three days is Buck Jones in "Sunset Sprague". A double headline attraction has been booked for Christmas presentation comprising "Hearts and Flowers", a musical farce of two clever young men and two beautiful
girls featuring Bobby Stone. This act is noted for its elaborate stage settings, gorgeous gowns, pretty girls and comedians who can sing and dance and make their auditirs laugh. The other feature act being the Bottomley Troupe, four sterling acrobats who term themselves "Human Basket Balls" and who have one of the most sensational casting acts in vaudeville. The other two acts are Lillian Dever, "The Little Girl With the Big Voice," and Jordan and Tyler. "The Composer and the Violinist." This act consists of two colored artists who offer a masterful melange upon the piano, 'cello, and violin. The picture for the week-end being Shirley Mason in "Girl Of My Heart", a five-reel Fox feature. Four shows will be given Christmas and New Years with the vaudeville going on twice in the afternoon and evening, and the picture running continuously. MURRETTE Robert Walker has the rather difficult part of an eastern tenderfoot who goes west and makes himself liked rnd respected, in "The Texan," a Tom Mix western produced by William Fox, which will begin a run of three days at the Murrette Theatre, Sunday. He is seen in the part of Winthrop Endicott, and he has quite a job on his hands, so to speak, to live down his name and hiseastern nativity. Walker had an extended stage career, considering his comparative youth, and for a time was in musical comedies. He nlaved in pictures pro-
! duced by Ediscn, Metro, Select, GoM-
wyn and Universal before joining the Fox organization for "The Texan." This is a stirring romance from the pen of James B. Hendryx, noted as a writer of live-wire Western tales of the open, and the picture was filmed ly Lvnn F. Reynolds, a most capable
' director. Mix's leading woman is the jcharmirg and eWer Gloria Hope she i of the glorious auburn hair.
