Some people say that the movies are

purely mechanical and that they get

few thrills out of big scenes shown in

pictures. Those folks have something

coming when they see the terrific

head-on smash between two giant lo

comotives that takes place m the jail

delivery scene in "Where Is My Wandering Boy Tonight" which comes to

the Washington theatre Wednesday. The scene calls for a huge locomotive running wild and on which a pris

on warden is fighting with several es

caped convicts. The director, knowing

that such a scene would not make any

thing extraordinary, resolved to stage

a real smash-up.

Forthwith two big locomotives were mirchaaed and a track built on the

city limit freight yards and the result

is one of the biggest- scenes ever mm-ed.

MURRAY "What do you think she'd do if

kissed her?" asks one of the men in "A Woman of No Importance," by Os

car Wilde. .

"Either marry yon, strike yon across

the face or both," responds the other

character.

The man thereupon kisses her. And she well, she strikes him across the

face wjth her glove.

Of course if you have read the play,

you will remember tiiat the man rich

ly deserved to be struck across the

face. But whether you have read or

seen the play or not, you simply must see the picture which comes to the

Murray theatre on Sunday.

It is rare that one see3 such an en

grossing aim as thl3 same "woman

of No Importance." From first to last It grips you tight, and at the end you

are thankful that the Selznicks havei

brought this famous Oscar Wilde play

to the screen.

Here is a cast-that acts, really acts.

In the title role, Fay Compton, the

beautiful and gifted English actress,

does a most enviable piece of work. As the woman was more sinned

against than sinning she paints the

portrait with certain and beautiful touches.

Hardly less impressive Is the acting

of Milton Rosmer a the man in the case. "Fine" is the word that de

scribes Mr. Rosmer"s acting better

than any other. It is a curiously- un

forgettable performarce. "A Woman of No Importance" is the best study of English society .ever screened. Oscar Wilde brought to the screen who can afford to miss the combination?

PALACE ' The lure of the open spaces and Afe spirit of the wilderness are comW ned with drama and romance in the "Universal Special Attraction starring Frank Mayo, "Across the Da'Jline," which comes to the Palace theatre Sunday. It's one of Clarence buddington Kelland's stories, published in the Red Book Magazine. For the production of the photoplay under Jack Conway's direction. Universal chose scenic points hundreds of miles away from Universal City. Supporting the star are Molly Malone Josef Swickard, Russell Simpson, Wilfred Lucas, Lydia Knott. Frank Thorwald and William Marion not a one of them but is known to every regular theatre-goer in the country. A few film plays have given cinema fans the impresson that the north is the scene of lurid melodrama, wherein shrieking blizzards yield up lost lovers, howling winds lead wolves to battle and falling forest trees end vlilians
