The Theatres

. WASHINGTON. ' When a motion picture star has been cast for a part that is similar io his qualifications in real life, critics call it a "coincidence." There have been stars in the past who have had a knowledge of painting and their characterization in a particular photoplay might have called for an artist. This may seem strange, but it has been left to H. B. Warner, starring in "Felix ODay" the Hampton-Pathe

special, appearing at the Washington theatre, to be assigned to play a role that is distinctly out of the ordinary. . All during his life Mr. Warner has been an enthusiastic collector of antiques. His home in Hollywood, California houses some very rare and quite expensive bits of antique furniture. There Is a chair that dates back to a time previous to the French Rennaissance. lie has valuable sets of china that had been used hy the nobility many decades ago. Tapestries, heirlooms of various descriptions, rugs, vases, paintings and the like, have all been purchased by Mr. Warner during his extensive travels through the old country. Of each of these he knows the colorful history, and of each he Is very proud. Mr. Warner has made a study of values in antiques and his homo has been made the headquarters of many others similarly inclined who call upon the Hampton-Pather star for his advice and help. He takes great pride in his collections, the value of which could never truthfully be as- . certained. MURRAY. Cynical readers may not believe it, nevertheless, "Breezy" Eason, the four year old Universal actor who is one of the chief features of "Two Kinds of Love," which will be shown at the Murray theatre Thursday, is one of Universal City's pistol experts. Almost a year ago "Hoot" Gibson,

the cowboy star, who is one ol

"Breezy's" best pals, gave the young

ster a small caliber revolver and took

command of a course in instruction for the lad. As a result "Breezy" is one of the most proficient marksmen on the "lot" and is continually seen "totin " his gun. In "Two Kinds of Love," the youngster carries hisgun as part of his make-up, and on several occasions used it to advantage in protecting the heroine. Besides being a marksman, "Breezy" has a pony and when the lad is not working, is the terror of directors. The youngster has a habit of galloping wildly across a set just about the time the cameraman is ready to "shoot." "Breezy" thinks it is great fun that is. he did until he tried it during the filming of "Two Kinds of Love," which his father is directing. Reaves Easton Sr., caught his son In the act and

there was a brief impressive session i behind a log cabin which formed part of the set. I MURRETTE ' ' The press agent who has announced "While New York Sleeps," an eight- i reel Fox special, which begins its run at the Murrette iheatre Wednesday as the "most sensational and artistic melo-drama of all time" does not realize how close he has really come to the mark. In lact, this writer cannot find it in his heart (or his experience) to disagree with him. Night life in New York among the several strata of society in that cos

mopolitan city -is pictured with wondrous fidelity in the three acts or

episodes which compose the picture. The play abounds with gpectacular incidents and yet the thing that remains in the memory after seeing "While New York Sleeps" is the almost intolerable suspense with which Director Charles J. Brabin has succeeded in endowing his great picture. Some magnificent views of the bright spots along The Great White Way have been used in the picture. For instance, there is a dancing nunber from Florenz Ziegfeld's popular Midnight Frolic girl-and-muslc show,

together with gorgeous cabaret scenes from the Cafe Palais Royal. Then the action plunges over to the East Side where we see a tragedy in the lives of a tempestuous shop girl, her puny, gentle-hearted husband whom she despises, the saintly, paralytic father of the man, and the gangster leader of a band of thieves. In this episode occurs a thrilling revolver battle between the famous New York police boat and a launch full of desperadoes. " i In addition to the remarkable tensity of the three stories and the interest in connection with the spectacular features that the director has introduced into the picture are the splendid characterizations effected by the small but eminent cast of players who portray the principal parts. Seldom if ever in the history of the screen haS ny group of players acquitted themselves so admirably.

TO THE THEATRE GOERS of the CITY OF RICHMOND Today I make the most interesting announcement I have ever made in my career as a theatrical manager. I believe the information contained in the following statement will be read with intense interest by all who value the best and most artistic in the world of amusement. I have always faithfully endeavored to bring to my patrons the biggest and best theatrical attractions of all times, for I know that only the biggest and the best appeal. Now I am happy and proud to announce that I have contracted with F. Ray Comstock and Morris Gest, producers of the world-famous "Chu Chin Chow," whereby that brilliant and gorgeous spectacle of ancient Bagdad, the world's most beautiful production will appear at the Victory Theatre for four days, beginning Sunday evening, Feb. 13, with matinee on Wednesday. "Chu Chin Chow" is a gigantic and gorgeous musical extravaganza. In 10 scenes, with 18 musical numbers, produced on a scale of colossal grandeur, employing the services of 300 people. It was originally presented in London at His Majesty's Theatre nearly four years ago by Oscar Asche, in association with the late Sir Herbert Tree, and is still playing there to capacity. The American production of "Chu Chin Chow" was made by Messrs. Comstock and Gest after the payment of the biggest royalty ever ktfown in the theatrical world, in New York more than two years ago, the scenery and costumes being imported from England and being exact duplicates of the originals. "Chu Chin Chow" ran one entire season in New York at the Century Theatre and then played an entire season in Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago and several other big cities. This great production, once more presented in New York at the Century Theatre in August, for a return engagement, and now embellished with many additional scenes and new costumes, comes here direct from its second engagement on Broadway. Owing to intense interest in the engagement, MAIL ORDERS for this important theatrical event will now be received. Send remittance with self-addressed stamped envelope for return of tickets, and, as there will unquestionably be an avalanche of mail orders, please name choice of two performances to insure getting seats. Prices Nights: $1.00, $1.50, $2.00, $2.50 and $3.00. Wednesday Matinee: $1,00, $1.50, $2.00 and $2.50. Add 10 per cent for war tax.
