The motion picture, with no more than fifteen years of experience behind it, has had the briefest of acting tra dition. Richard Barthelmess is doing much with his current motion picture releases to establish an acting tradition for the screen. After four years of consistently good performances, he is now recognized as one of the foremost and most versatile of the younger actors of the screen. When, four years ago, he played the part of the Chink in “Broken Blossoms,” critics immediately recognized him as an actor of intelligence—one able to understand his role and to portray it as he understood it. But the critics weren’t sure that he would follow up that remarkable characterization with others as fine. “He is too good looking,” they warned. “He will turn into a handsome leading man if you don’t watch out.” But, because Bar- THE MOVIE MENU FOR NEXT WEEK TIVOLI— Mixed Features. Thomas Conkey, noted tenor, and Eileen Van Biene, soprano, who created the leading roles in “Maytime” when that delightful opera was produced in New York, will be heard at Crandall’s new Tivoli Theater, next week in a prelude to the film version of the Rida Johnson Young work, which will be offered as the chief film attraction. The Loos Brothers, singers of popular songs, will also be heard in a new cycle of hits and another spectacular divertissement featuring the Tivoli Corps De Ballet will be offered. The bill will have further the Tivoli’s “Mirror of the Living World” and a new release of Tivoli Wanderings, as well as by the grand organ promenade concert by Arthur Flagel and the Tivoli Symphony. “Maytime” is a Gasnier production that enlists the services of a cast of more than ordinary merit. AMBASSADOR— “Son of the Sahara.” “A Son of the Sahara” will be presented as the foremost feature of the first three days of next week at Crandall’s Ambassador. The Stella roles are played by Bert Lytell, in the title role; Claire Windsor, Montagu Love, Rosemary Theby, Paul Panzer, and Walter McGrail. The comedy for the first bill of the week will be supplied by Cliff Bowes in “Fold Up.” On Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday of next week, Jackie Coogan will be the pictured star in “A Boy of Flanders.” Bryant Washburn, Billie Dove, Lionel Belmore, Rose Dione, and Edward Horton are the principal players in “Try and Get It.” The bill will also include added short reels and special pipe organ music. COLUMBIA— “Triumph.” Cecil B. DeMille brings his latest production, "Triumph,” to Loew’s Columbia next week. “Triumph” was adapted by Jeanie MacPherson from a Saturday Evening Post story by May Edginton, and the cast that DeMille has brought to its chief roles includes Leatrice Joy, Rod Laßocque, George Fawcett, Theodore Kosloff, Robert Edeson, Julia Faye, ZaSu Pitts, Alma Bennett, Charles Ogle, and Victor Varconi, the latter a new Hungarian actor of featured prominence in the Budapest theater. Scenes filmed amid the thunder of a great industrial plant, a fight between rival lovers in a limousine at ninety miles an hour. Spectacular case and gown-shop scenes, a daring fire episode, and a charming vision sequence serve to punctuate the action. RIALTO— Harold Lloyd. Harold Lloyd’s popularity in Washington is well known and acknowledged and so well has the public greeted his appearance in “Girl Shy” at Moore’s Rialto, that continuance for a second week beginning Sunday next is promised. PALACE— Tom Meighan. Thomas Meighan will be seen in "The Confidence Man" next week at Loew’s Palace. “The Confidence Man” is a •fctartMUou OS IM AMt«Z Weekly tale by Laurie York Erskine and Robert H. Davis, which was directed by Paul Sloane, who made “Big Brother” and “Over the Hill.” The cast includes Virginia Valli as Mr. Meighan’s leading woman; Laurence Wheat, Charles Dow Clark, George Nash, David Higgins, Dorothy Walters, Margaret Seddon and others. In this picture Mr. Meighan assumes the role of a confidence man who. In his effort to victim ize a small town millionaire with worthless oil stock, so ingratiates himself with the small-town citi zens and a girl in particular that when the time comes to engineer his financial coup he finds himself unable any longer to steer the old crooked course. METROPOLITAN— “Son of the Sahara.” Claire Windsor, Bert Lytell, Montagu Love, Rosemary Theby and Walter McGrail are the principals in “A Son of the Sahara,” to be seen at Crandall’s Metropolitan Theater, beginning Sunday. The extra added attrac tion. will be supplied by Fred Waring and his Pennsylvanians who have been retained for a second week. The bill will be completed, as usual, by abbrevi ated camera subjects of varied interest and interpretative ac companiment by the Metropoli tan Symphony under the con ductorship of Daniel Breeskin. In addition to its high type of visual beauty, "A Son of the Sahara” embodies a love story and thrills by the score. The story is one of revenge thwarted by a love that made a “white man” of an Algerian Sheik. CENTRAL— Hoot Gibson. Hoot Gibson will be pictured at Crandall’s Central Theater the first four days of next week in “Hook And Ladder." The added comedy offering will be Mack Sennett’s two reels of fun, “Smile Please,” and a new sportreel, “The Call of the Game” will comprise an element of added interest. In “Hook And Ladder,” Gibson is cast as a fireman who battles his way through smoke, flame, and locked doors to save the life of the girl he loves. Norma Talmadge will succeed to the Central’s bill the last three days of next week, in “The Song of Love,” in which she is capably supported by Joseph Schildkraut and Arthur Edmund Carewe. The program will be completed by a new issue of the Kinsograms and provided with a bit of laughter by “Heeza Liar’s Ancestors.” CRANDALL’S— “The Silent Stranger,” starring Fred Thomson, former champion athlete and clergyman, will be the major attraction at Crandall’s Theater the first three days of next week. The star is supported by a fine cast. Clyde Cook will furnish the fun in “The Misfit” and other short reels will round out. On Wednesday and Thursday, Betty Compson and Richard Dix will occupy the screen at Crandall’s in “The Stranger.” The laughter will be derived from the Tuxedo ‘comedy, “Dolly” One Night it Rained.” Conway Tearle, Lon Chaney, Dorthy Mackaill, Richard Cortez, Louise Dresser and Dorothy Cumming are the distinguished artists who lead the cast to be seen in “The Next Corner,” scheduled for the last two days of next week. Cliff Bowes for the fun in “Dusty Dollars”—if they see that THE WASHINGTON TIMES • * The National Daily * • WEDNESDAY, APRIL 23, 1924. The essence is intelligent and found the opportunity, he is succeeding in establishing himself as a great acting star on the screen. This eminence he has attained by taking an active part in the direction of his own company and in the selection of pictures in which he appears. Everyone remembers “Tolable David,” the first picture he made independently. In “Tolable David” he played what is known as a juvenile role, a boy of seventeen. His conception of the character was so fine that the picture was selected as the finest film of 1922 by hundreds of critics all over the country. In “Fury” Barthelmess played the part of a rough English sailor. “Fury” has been called the finest picture of 1923. In “The Bright Shawl” he was filmed as a suave, polished gentleman of New York in the 1850’s—one who knew exactly at what angle to wear his rakish top hat and whose curly locks were always combed just so. The Gate-Post, Harold Phillips, the American League of Pen Women, in annual convention beginning today, is making constructive gestures at the movies and, to that end, has assembled quite an array of talent to tell the public what’s wrong and what can be done about it. Among others who will talk is Ethel Styles Middleton, Palmer Photoplay School student, whose “Judgment of the Storm” was recently produced. Mrs. Middleton, the gossips say, got one peek at the screen version of her story and decided that someone else’s brain child got tangled up with her title. She is expected to lay heavy hands at this conference on the studio practice of disguising brain progenitors so their own mothers can’t recognize them. The fat and juicy plum which all of the burlesque companies strive annually to annex is the summer run at the Columbia Theater on Broadway, New York. This season it has been won by Fred Clark’s “Let’s Go” company, now current at Harry Jarboe’s playhouse here. The summer run begins in June after the regular burlesque season of forty weeks is ended, and it continues while the show can produce a box office profit. It takes the hard working choristers and principals through the “coffee and cakes” summer season when the majority of their fellow artists are pounding the pavements in and around Forty-seventh street. Incidentally, it is considered by the performers The greatest opportunity to give the big Broadway managers a glance at their talents and many a burlesque star has graduated into the top notch musical comedies via this route—notably Clark and McCullough, of the “Music Box Revue,” James Barton and others. Heywood Broun has definitely “spiked” the White Light tattlers who have reported he would be one of the principals in the new Century revue. He will stick to the typewriter as first harpooner of the new shows that have the temerity to bob up on Broadway. The managers have not become discouraged over the prospect of nabbing some of “Metropolitan critics and Sam Harris has a skit in the new Music Box Revue in which he hopes to enlist at least two or three of the “shock troop” generals to supply atmosphere and comedy. Physicians at New York’s Bellevue Hospital today are examining the brain of John Burke, Shakespearean actor, who, for half a century, had retained in memory all of the playable plays that Shakespeare wrote. Burke died penniless and without close friends and willed his brain and body to the hospital staff which tried to cure him of cancer of the throat... Glen Hunter, alias Mertor Gill, alias Clifford Armytage, has voluntarily declared himself rupt with liabilities of $14,000 and in his assets makes no mention at all of the “Montagu Girl.”...

BELASCO— Third week, “The Cat and Canary.” POLI’S— D. W. Griffith’s “America.” KEITH’S — Kouns Sisters and others.

"The Beauty Prize," an Original by Nina Wilcox Putnam, will be Viola Dana’s next vehicle for Melville. Then came “The Fighting Blade,” in which Barthelmess, with long, black bobbed hair, seemed to have stepped out of a Van Dyck portrait of a Dutch youth, his conception of a fighting Hollander of the seventeenth century. In his next picture, “The Enchanted Cottage,” Barthelmess plays a physically wrecked veteran of the great war. Stoop-shouldered, limping, twisted, hollow-cheeked, he is a pathetic figure of a man. Those who have seen “The Enchanted Cottage” declare that his role of Olivei- Bashforth is the most difficult of all his characterizations. There are many who say the movie fans care only for film figures, sleek hair, white teeth, and flashy smiles on their male stars. Barbara needs to concede nothing to anyone in his appearance, but he has proved that movie fans like good acting, versatility, and intelligence quite as much as good looks. Master of his own fate, he has brought his ship of success to shore because of these qualities. HOW TO BREAK INTO THE MOVIES By DOUGLAS MacLEAN, “Break” is right. Get a crowbar and slip out some dark night and do not give your right name if you manage to “break in.” There are more fictitious names in the “movies” than anywhere else. My advice to the movie-struck boys and girls is to consult the family physician first. If the doctor says you must go to work, don’t think that motion picture contracts are tickets admitting you to joy excursions. Now that you are in the movies, I’ll tell you what to do next. Do not take your work seriously as you may be cast for an extra role in a serial where you are shot in the first episode. Again, you may have to play the part of a deep-sea diver and be drowned in the second reel. The chances are a thousand to one that you will have to shuffle off this mundane celluloid sphere long before you have gotten very far in the picture. By all means, buy an alarm clock. You are often called at 3 or 4 a.m. to ride far out in a rainstorm or stand at attention in a blizzard as motion pictures demand atmosphere and storms and blizzards are natural atmospheric properties. If you plan spending any holidays at home quickly dismiss them from your thoughts for you are apt to be working in Siberia on Thanksgiving Day or "on location" in the Florida swamps at Christmas time. The movies are no respecters Gloria Swanson. For the first time in three years Gloria Swanson is making a leisurely tour of the Fifth Avenue shops in New York. Much to her satisfaction, her vacation has fallen at just the time she wanted to devote to this purpose. Much of her previous shopping has been handled by her representatives. "Manhandled," her latest Paramount picture, was finished last week and preparations are now being made for another. KILLS HIMSELF WHEN PLACED UNDER ARREST NEWINGTON, Conn., April 23 Harry Luce, forty-seven, farmer, shot and killed himself in his barn while Prosecutor Churchill and Constable Pitkin were waiting outside to take him to court on a charge of assaulting his wife, for which he had just been arrested. When the warrant was served on a complaint made earlier in the day by his wife, Luce asked to go into the barn with a milk pall. The officers heard the shot and found Luce dead with a bullet hole through the head and a revolver nearby. BUSINESS BUREAU PLANS INVESTMENT DIVISION An investment division of the Better Business Bureau will be formed, it was indicated last night following the appointment of a committee at a gathering of local investment bankers and retailers at the Wardman Park Hotel. Such an organization, it was said, would do much toward Cleaning the city of stock and land swindlers. Garrard B. Winston, undersecretary of the Treasury, and D. R. Crissinger, governor of the Federal Reserve Board attended the meeting, COL. 1858 Garsley CONTRACTING DECORATOR, 2807-14 ST., of weather conditions. It may be 100 degrees above Fahrenheit and you may have to wear a fur overcoat, or it may be 20 below zero and you may be required to run around in the open in a bathing suit. All” things considered, it’s a great life if you don’t weaken; Don’t let a little thing like work and exacting conditions frighten you. One succeeds where hundreds fail to get-farther than the prologue. Now that you have received my personal tip, I have only one other suggestion: Prior to your movie career, pick out a good, strong bank and reserve space for your salary, which will likely require a detachment of the marines to insure safe escort to the vaults. If I were in your place, I would not think of asking less than a million a week. To one with movie aspirations the salary is no object as long as it runs in six or eight figures. As I am in the movies and must eat, I’ll now go back to work. I thank you. “Changing Husbands?” "Changing Husbands" has been selected as the final title of the Paramount picture tentatively called “Roles,” in which Leatrice Joy is featured, according to an announcement by Jesse L. Lasky. The screen story was written by Sada Cowan and Howard Higgin from Elizabeth Alexander’s Saturday Evening Post story, "Roles." Who’ll Be Peter Pan? Choice of the player for the title role of “Peter Pan" will not be restricted to persons under contract to Paramount, according to Jesse L. Lasky. More than a dozen candidates are under consideration.

Here I am 72 and feel just as spry and full of vim and pep as if I were only 30 or 40.” This testimony to the virtue of gland treatment was voiced recently by Robert George Laws, prominent retired London broker. Mr. Laws, whose health had been poor for several years claims that a glandular tonic put up in tablet form has restored him to the health and vigor of his earlier days. Such a treatment is now obtainable in the form of Glandogen, a highly concentrated glandular tonic prepared from the glands of healthy young animals. Glandogen has had remarkable success with thousands of ailing men and women. It is obtainable at Peoples 16 Drug Stores. GLANDOGEN MIDNIGHT RIDE OF P. REVERE HELD UP A sea-sick horse postponed the ride of Paul Revere from Boston to Lexington and Concord while D. W. Griffith was there taking scenes for his historical film, “America,” which will be repeated at Poli’s Theater next week. A committee of Lexington and Boston historians had agreed upon the color of the horse Revere rode, one that contradicts most of the paintings. When the color was decided, the horse was or Dedicated from New York and arrived by boat through a stormy voyage. The streets were filled with spectators to watch the reproduction of the historic ride, but when the horse appeared, it still had the illusion of being on the deck of a tossing ship. Lexington entered so heartily into the making of the picture that all the male descendants of the Minute Men were conscripted from their work by summons from the Lexington Historical Society to appear as their forefathers did in the fight on Lexington Common. They were dressed in exact replicas of the costumes their ancestors wore, many of them armed with guns that were heirlooms in their families. The same drum that William Diamond beat on the morning the British soldiers entered the village was beaten again to marshal them into action. When the scenes of the hanging of the lanterns in the Old North Church were taken, the narrow streets in the district were crowded with people who started singing “America.” CRANSTON Metropolitan FAT 19TH TODAY—11 A.M.
