WASHINGTON "One of the gamect actresses I ever sawl This Is what hCarlea Maigne, I director, Bald of Mary Miles Mlnter, Paramount star, on the return of tha

l company from a 6lx -weeks' sojourn in.

"Wyoming, where the exteriors for ; "The Cowboy and the Lady," in which 'Miss Minter is co-featured with Tom ' Moore, were filmed, and which come3 to the Washington Theatre, 3 days, starting Thursday.

Mr. Maigne's eulogy of Miss Min-

ter'a bravery rvas Inspired by her per

formance of the big thrill stunt of the

picture, In which she slips from a fallen tree which liea across a chasm and falls some twerty-five or thirty feet into a-pool and the rapids of th9 stream below.

A double had been provided to do

this perilous drop. The scene was made, and Miss Minter, watching from

the sidelines, exclaimed: "That doesn't look eo bad. If he can do it, I can,

too!"

At her insistence, Director Maigne

agreed to let her make the drop. She

took the plunge without wavering an! the scene was made.

"Now I can take pride In the fact that the work in the picture is my

own," she declared, after being res

cued from the swirling rapids. Mis3

Constance Talmadge, defiant, bracing death at the hand of Fifty-fifty Charlie Yong for the man she loves! Constance Talmadge eating Chinese food with the certainty of one to the chop-sticks born! Constance Talmadge strumming the samlsen with the nonchalence of the American flapper hitting the ukulele. Constance Talmadge chewing gum in the grand manner! Constance Talmadge showig off with ' the mannerisms of the habitues of Kelly's dance hall across the street! All these, and many others, go to make up Constance Talmadge as Ming Toy, the heroine of tho "East Is West" the stage success, now a First National attraction, in which she can be seen at the Murrette theatre. MURRAY

Something unique in the way of scenic backgrounds makes Its appear

ance in "The Cave Girl, the picture produced by Inspiration Pictures. Inc..

which opened a run at the Murray theatre. The film was made in. winter

time with the Yosemite Valley for its settings and never before have the pristine glories of nature been revealedKO appealingly. Frozen cascades, of gigantic altitude, huge waterfalls and huge snow slides

all contribute their moiety to give a festival of beauty for nature-hungry eyes.

Not only in the matter of the scenery is "The Cave Girl" alluring. The plot combines the usual adventure, romance and thrills, winding up with a sensational rescue on the edge of a waterfall. Teddie Gerard in the title role, is the lady who is saved from such a horrible fate and Charles Meredith is her rescuer. He 13 also the leading man, which is as it should be. Jake Abrahams is another member worthy of mention in an unusually competent cast. He plays the part of an absent minded college professoF with quaint humor. Boris Karloff makes quite a convincing "villian as Baptiste, the Indian guide and Lillian Tucker is such a close double for the attractive leading lady that one can understand Baptiste's error in mistakingt he two. The picture was adapted from Guy Uolton's and Georgo Middleton's stage success and marks Inspiration's first venture in the picture producing field.
