UNUSUAL FEATURE AT RIVOLI Anita Stewart in "The Woman He Married" Is Interesting Picture. "The Woman He Married," a First j Katlonal attraction starring Anita Stewart, is the current attraction at the Klvoli theater. The production has won considerable praise wher ever it has been shown a3 one of the most unusual pictures of the year. The picture has an appeal that grips the heart and wins the sympa thy of the spectator for the heroine, struggling against heavy odds for the sake of the love that fills her heart. Miss Anita Stewart gives the role of the artists' model an inter pretation that characterizes her as one of the great screen actresses, and the supporting cast is fully ade quate. Fred Niblo directed "The Woman He Married." Miss Stewart plays the part of Natalie Lane, a beautiful model, who repulses the advances of Byrne Travers, a famous artist, to whom all pretty women appeal. She mar Ties Roderick Warren, son of a steel magnate. Both love each other passionately, but when Roderick's father tries to get his son to give up his wife, on the plea that she is below his station in life, the girl de termines to fight for his love. The manner in which she over comes all odds, and in the end thwarts her father-in-law's oppo sition, gives the story a "punch" that la Interesting and thrilling. VJOLA DANA AT HIPPODROME Winsome Star Is Shown in Inter esting Play, "Seeing's Believing." Reports connected with Viola Dana's publicity indicate that this attractive young person was accorded a won derful array of hospitality during her swing around the circle, which ended at Portland a few weeks ago.

"GOOD PROVIDER," COLUMBIA "Hnmoresqne" Was Mother's Pho toplay This Is Daddy's. c if your father complains that he is not appreciated in his own home, that your mother and your sisters and brothers overlook the fact that he is supporting them, that his love for you all falls on deaf ears.

And Miriam Battista, who was the little girl in "Humoresque,"' plays a similar part in "The Good Pro vider." As usual with Cosmopolitan pro duction, the cast is particularly note worthy. It includes, besides those mentioned, Vivienne Osborne, Will iam (Buster) Collier Jr., John Roche, James Devine, Blanche Craig, Ora Jones, Edward Phillips, Muriel Mar tin and Margaret Severn, the dancer. "PRODIGAL JUDGE,". PEOPLES Jean Paige and Macklyn Arbuckle Featured Players. "The Prodigal Judge," now show ing at the Peoples theater, is a play of queer characters and lovable oddi ties.

This picture was made under the super vision of D. W. Griffith and was' di rected by William Christy Cabanne. Miss Gish is given a role that has not been afforded her in any former production. She plays Annie Lee, the little village belle, beloved by two men, and the fans will be sur prised to find that she can play a woman of 80 as well as the carefree girl ot 18. GREY STORY AT MAJESTIC "When Romance Rides" Is Based on Celebrated Novel "Wildfire." Obtaining equine stars that are camera-wise and will act naturally Is a difficult task. Benjamin B. Hampton found two extraordinary ones for "When Romance Rides," founded upon Zane Grey's widely read western novel, "Wildfire," re leased by Goldwln, now being shown at the Majestic theater. "It required many weeks of the most painstaking work to train "the horses," says Mr. Hampton. "Every scene in which- the horses appear represents days of worry and sweat ing on the part of the entire picture organization. ' "Of course the animals were afraid of the glare of the Klieg lights," said Mr. Hampton. "They shied, backed away and were in a high state of nervous excitement because of the lights alone. The click of the camera added to this feeling of nervousness. Many of the scenes were gone through In rehearsal to the satisfac tion of everybody concerned, but just as soon as the cameras began to click the horses forgot directors and train ers and watched the lens like an extra doing his first steps before the camera." r "SMILIN' THROUGH," LIBERTY Norma Talmadge's Picture Will Be Continued This Week. , The killing of a bride on her wed ding day provides just one of a score of big dramatic moments in Norma Talmadge's "Smilln' Through," the current attraction at the Liberty. Monyeen , and John Carteret are being married when Jeremiah Wayne, a rejected suitor, shouts "Stop!" and levels a revolver at John. Monyeen rushes forward to protect John and receives the bullet intended for him. As John sees that she is dying he orders the minister to complete the ceremony, and it is done. In the ensuing years John's only happiness lies in the memory of his beloved Monyeen and the love of her niece, Kathleen, who has been left in his charge, but he becomes furious when Kathleen introduces him to young .Kenneth Wayne, son of Jere- miah, as her lover. The dramatic plot expands around the romance of this young couple and the parr which the earlier tragedy plays in it. "Smilin' Through" is an adaptation of Allen Langdon Martin's highly Ruccessful stasre nlav. and is directed I by Sidney Franklin. Norma enacts the parts of Monyeen and Kathleen. RACING PHOTOPLAY, CIRCLE "Thunderclap" Is Tremendously . Interesting Melodrama. "Thunderclap," the remarkable William Fox special, showing at the Circle theater today and tomorrow, is aptly heralded as "a thrilling melo dramatic picture with a laugh every minute and a thrill every 30 seconds." An all-star cast cleverly depicts the absorbing story of love, intrigue, romance and, last but not least, a horserace yet unequaled on the silver screen. The colorful story of "Thunder clap" also bring to mind the more exciting days of yester-year, when gambling flourished, when the raucous call of the roulette wheel attendant mingled with the shrill laughter of the bizarre feminine and when for tunes changed hands with monoton ous regularity. In this world of gilt and flushed cheeks there comes the girl of the convent, ignorant, of the ways of the wily but strong of character and of purpose. Her experiences in this new world, the discovery of a true friend beneath the reeking atmosphere of drink and smoke and the result of the track performance of "Thunderclap" combine for a story which charms at the very outset and fascinates until the unwelcome endi Wallace Reid plays Phillip Ray, the wealthy miller's son, who waits ten years before ho can convince the doubting Annie that her long absent husband is really dead. Walter Paget is the long-suffering and much-sacrificing Enoch Arden. "The Fatal Marriage" adheres closely , to the original story of "Enoch Arden" as written by Tenny son in what is probably his most famous narrative poem. The settings are effective and convincing, and while'Miss Glsh does not ride to the rapids on a cake of ice, and Wallace Reld does not play polo or .drive an automobile, there is plenty of drama and not a little comedy in the production. r M r- T'J Photograph, Dhows benatlfnl foreign away front "canned" variety THE American public likes va riety. The motion-picture world learned that long ago new faces and different stories are regarded as essential In the picture world today. " But the Paramount company is be ginning to realize that the photoplay fans want variety in scenery and background, as well as in cast and story. The Paramount officials are learning that the public is becoming a trifle tired , of the same Los An geles scenery in all of America's screen offerings. So Paramount has hit on the scheme of sending a company of American players abroad and of pro "SMILIN' PLAYING ALL 8 reels of storm and sunshine Come smilin' through the gates of gladness to find the drama of mating loves; the tragic romance of Moony een of a generation ago; the dream of happiness of Kathleen of today.
