WASHINGTON "It is an ill wind that blows nobody good," voraciously and ungrammatically declared the poet. The Marcus Show t 1920 was produced with the idea TOf HwadlBgr " fM w. Tob for a run'. .Over one hundred thousand dollars 'was invested by A. B. Marcus. The : .attraction opened and then ho suitable aietropolitan : playhouse was found available. The tour is under the direction of Klaw & Erlanger.; The bis New York bookers, rather

disintegration of the celebrated Marjpus Peach chorus-j-which :has earned "the eiclamatpryy "Oh, Baby!" will aend the attraction on- the road for the present" and take it to'New York at ihe first opportunity- The magnitudeof the production is such that no matter what 'the' returns in the provinces the showmen cannot expect a profit. This is the ill wind, fc: As far as' Richmond is concerned, '.however, the zephyr ia beneficent. Klaw & Erlanger have notified the manager of the Washington theatre that this city had been included in the route. X --..;'... ;:.; i Like all communities save Gotham and possibly Chicago, this city lias had to be content tn the past ;with sitting at the second u table in the . theatrical boarding house. In the case of the Marcus Show 'of 1920 it assumes the role of star boarder. The production

is brand new. The Peaches themselves are fresh and the company is exactly the same as that which will regale Broadway later on. 4 The Marcus Show of 1920 number's over 75 persons and is headed by Mike Sacks. Words and music for the 27 musical numbers are from the pen of Charles Abbate. MURRETTE The coming of "Mid-Channel," a sixreel photodrama In which Clara Kimball Young holds the spectator spellbound, at the Murrette theatre, holds many hours of delight and fascination in store for motion picture goers. Rarely has there been a production on a scale as tine as "Mid-Channel" and, above all, with an appeal as universal and soul-stirring as this masterpiece of England's foremost playwright, Sir Arthur Wing Pinero. This play created a sensation on Broadway

when Ethel Barrymore appeared in the role now taken by Miss Young, and a similar senation is predicted here when the picture opens its run. MURRAY : "Life's Twist," the Robertson-Cole Special which is now showing at the Murray theatre, has been called Bessie Barriscale's best picture. It deals with the adventures in love of two women, one the pampered daughter of fortune, the other the undeveloped, ragged product of a great city's squalor. Both types, extreme in contrast, are interpreted by Miss Barriscale In masterly fashion, according to the reviewers. The photoplay was directed by William Christy Cabanne. It was adapted to the screen by Harvey Gates from the magazine story by Thomas Edgelowe, Walter McGrail, as leading man. King Baggot, Truly Shattock, Marcia Manon, are seen to decided advantage. FIRST PRESBYTERIAN "The Way of a Woman," Norma Talmadge's latest Select Picture, in which the is presented by Joseph M. Schenck on Saturday at the First Presbyterian church, is an adaptation by Eugene Walter of his famous stage play, "Nancy Lee," which played at the Hudson Theatre in New York two years ago. The story, which was directed by Robert Z. Leonard, concerns the life career of Nancy Lee, the eldest daughter of the old Virginia Lee family, who rejects an offer of marriage from the man she loves, and marries instead

an impossible New York bounder, for

the advantages that his wealth can give her mother. The picture has lost none of the

dramatic suspense or artistic finesse which made it the successful play It j was. With beautiful and versatile

Norma Talmadge in the stellar role and a wonderful cast supporting her, "The Way of a Woman" is one of the finest pictures that has ever come to the silver sheet. ,

MURRAY VAUDEVILLE Douglas Graves and Miss Belle De-'

Monde in their highly entertaining comedy sketch "I Gotta Have Meat" w ill be on of the feature acts on the new bill opening at The Murray next Monday, matinee for the first half. This act describes the plight of two stage folks who were compelled to

Nu one can fail to see this picture without being left out of thousands of conversations, as It is one of those dramas that are discussed by patrons after they leave the theater. "Unseen Forces" comes glowing from the fiery furnace of inspiration and tempered with great originality. It Is so exquisite, so fragile, so beautifully and poetically fragrant that it is like a breath of spring. It stands out as one of the most charming things that the silver sheet has mirrored these many days. Shown in Richmond before the larger cities. See this great drama, entirely different.
