between a man-o'-war and a pirato ship, great swordsmanship, gowns that it took 60 dressmakers a month to prepare, startling photography, more romance, more suspense, more action. And there you have. George Fitzmaurice's Paramount production of ','To Have and to Hold." featuring Betty Compson ind Bert Lytell, which comes to the Washington theatre Sunday. Betty Compson, never lovelier, in pearl and brocades one moment, in a hastily improvised bathing dress the next, in gowns cut low and gorgeous, and in gowns more modest and dainty, has the best role of her screen career She is the girl, who, rather than marry Lord Carnal, escapes to Virginia to wed the first man who asks for her hand. Bert Lytell, romantic hero, swordsman ' unexcelled, brave and daring, is the man who asks and

ultimately wins her love. Always there is something doing in this story. The characters are real human beings, loving and fighting and loving some more. There's not a bowing puppet in the picture. It is the rapid-fire drama told swiftly against a background as colorful as a show at the New York "Hippodrome. "To Have and to Hold" was the most expensive picture ever made at the Lasky f tudio in Hollywood. Ships were bought and rebuilt and blown up, while hundreds of pirates and Indians took part in the mass fighting A whole shipload. of beautiful girls were landed in Ihe wife-market scenes. In a massive set is shown a colorful orgy at the court of King Jame3 I of England. Every scene In the picture is a Fitz. maurice triumph. Famous t for the beauty of his productions, he'has here a . type of story made to order for lavish settings and beautiful composi tino. The cast is tremendous. Betty Compson and Bert LyteU are wonderful in this romance of romances. Theodore Kosloff, who is seen as the venomous king's favorite, has : the finest part of his wonderful career. When you see Petty Compson you won't wonder that Bert Lytell, seen as the hero, fought all over Virginia. England and the Atlantic ocean to keep Lord Carnal, (Theodore Koslou)

William Fairbanks series, which wi!l be shown at the Palace theatre Sunday. Director Lewis King bought himself a bright and shiny new automobile which was the joy of his heart. But it was written in the stars that his joy should be short lived. One of the first scenes in "Peaceful Peters" calls for a thrilling horseback chase, and Director King was up in the front seat of his nice new car, whooping like a Comanche Indian, as the riders pelted helter-skelter toward him. obeying his shouted commands. Nearer and nearer they came, the horses straining every nerve, their riders flogging them on and on to efforts even more intense, while the camera men ground away as though their lives depended on it. Then suddenly one maddened broncho, instead of

a mining town locale for Jack Holt s latest Paramount picture, "While Satan Sleeps," showing at the Murrette theatre Sunday, the location department at the Paramount studio in California was in a quandary. The sce

gone to decay and rebuild it. The "Panamint" described in Peter B. Kyne's story, "The Parson of Panamint," from which the picture was built under the direction of Robert M. Haas, art director, was one of the largest villages that has ben constructed by Paramount in a long time. It consisted of twenty buildings, including a hotel, ' church, bar and grill, barber fhop. butcher shop, assay office, slierSore, Tender Feet Suflerem with nre. tender feet find Jack Front Cream a ouick and sure relief, it cools, soothes and heals.
