MURRETTE A story of the world and its peoole, "Mother O' Mine," Thomas H. Ince's latest drama for the Associated Producers, has been announced as the feature of the Murrette theatre program commencing Sunday. The forthcoming production, a melodrama of metropolitan life, is enact

ed by an all-star cast consisting of Lloyd Hughes, Joseph Kilgour, Betty! Elythe, Betty Ross Clark and Claire McDowell., Fred Niblo, who has dl-j rected many successful screen produc-l tions, the most recent of which was Douglas Fairbanks' "The Mark of Zorro," has directed the Ince feature, which should constitute a guarantee of its technical excellence. I The plot, briefly, deals with the in-j volved situations arising from the de-j sires of Robert Sheldon, the only son! of his mother, to seek the opportunities that the city has to offer over his native small town. His mother gives him a letter of introduction to a prominent wizard of finance, who is, unknown to the boy, his own father who has deserted his family years before under the drunken supposition that his wife's infidenity has made the boy the son of another. The boy is given a position in the financier's . offices, and unknowingly becomes the cat's paw of some doubtful business transactions. Discovering his situation, he accuses the financier, who, enraged because the boy has prevented the consummation of a big deal, viciously attacks his mother's name. A fight results in which the wizard is accidentally killed by his own revolver. t RICHMOND jf All the world loves a fairy story for fairies brought us to our first assurance that the world was a lovely place to live in, after ogres of all kinds had presented themselves to us in the tfark. In "Enchantment," a Cosmopolitan production for Paramount release starring Marion Davies which will be hown at the Richmond theatre next week, there are the most captivating fairyland scenes ever filmed. No one familiar with Grimm, will forget "The Sleeping Beauty," the princess who scratched her finger on the only spindle in the kingdom and

was put to sleep by the bad fairy, as were all her courtiers and family, fori one hundred years. But the princess! did not rise old and haggard and! ragged like Rip Van Winkle. Not she.! When her good fairy got the upper hand again and saw fit to awaken her,! behold the arose in all heV youthful; beauty and good spirits to take up life; at the point where she had left off.! A glorious awakening! j The sets in the fairyland portion of: this picture, which is really a modern!

F'ory, were done by Joseph Urban. One getting is a silhouette in black and white lighted from the background and showing the princess as an infant. It was the time when the prophecy was made that the newlyborn princess would meet misfortune through scratching her hand on a f-pindle. Therefore the wise king issued an edict that all the spindles in the kingdom be destroyed. 'And of course they were except one in a hidden cave under his own castle. Another fanciful setting represents

MURRAY "Pholosophy is not the only thing

Mabel Ballin recently, during the taking of "Pagan Love," the newest Hodkinson released picture, which will.be shown at the Murray theatre for the first half of next week. "I refer," she continued, with that rare smile of hers, "to the solid comfort of the Chinese dress. This is my first experience in wearing their little Mandarin coats, and I've grown so fond of them that I shall certainly always have at least a couple of them in my wardrobe.

"And not only the coats, but the perfectly ducky little trousers that go with them! These suits come in the

most charming combinations now. of1

heavy satin in various shades elaborately embroidered in gold or silver and then there are plainer ones of satin trimmed only with bands of embroidery. "These picturesque garments, bringing with them the ancient atmosphere of the Celestial City, are generally becoming to the girl with a slim figure, and little girls especially find them suited to their diminutive proportions.

This is easily understood, for they were of course designed In the first place for the Chinese women who are as a race small in figure. In New York and other large cities, this graceful little costume has become very popular with society women at the tea hour, when entertaining informally. 1 "Try them and you, too, will become a convert!" WASHINGTON STOCK "Smilin Through" is to be presented by the Jack Bessey stock players at the Washington theatre all next week. "Smilin" Through" is by Allan Langdon Martin. It is a play in three acts and referred to as a fantastic comedy. It Is deserving of this title in that it is out of the ordinary, one of the1 most delightful, most whimsical plays that has ever been written; a play that has done a phenomenal business in New York, Chicago and San Francisco, having reached the record peak of $25,000 a week in the last named city. When originally produced in New York the great artiste, Jan Cowl, was selected to portray the central figure of the piece and achieved an artistic triumph that will never be forgotten

in stage annals. This was due, in ad

dition to Miss Cowl's admitted skill as an actress, to a large degree to the great play in which she was appearing,
