COLUMBIA A faithful reproduction
of the Cafe Montmartre, one of the
famous Broadway dance palaces, is the
feature of "On With the Dance," the
, George Fitzmaurice production featuring
Mae Murray and David Powell, which
' will be shown at the Columbia for an
other week, its popularity having been
so great. The gay cabaret was built
at the Paramount-Artcraft study in New
York from minute photographs.
Several hundred "extras," two jazs
bands, famous professional eccentric and
"shimmy" dancers, and the entire corps
Of waiters from a Broadway "lobster
palace" were engaged for the occasion.
Some of the most famous actors, ac
tresses and public personages of New
York were present when the scenes were
"shot" and are seen as diners at the
.various tables. iThis episode is declared
to be one of the most brilliant and elab
orate of its kind ever filmed.
Mae Murray has the role of a dancing
girl, and is, of course, the center of
Interest. David Powell has the chief
- male part. The story is one of intense
heart appeal and dramatic conflict.
Vincent Knowles and his. concert
orchestra add considerable to the ef
fectiveness of the picture and continue
to please.

the Majestic for the1 new week, together
with Ben Turpin in) "A Nut Cracker."
"Duds" (Tom Moore) is a young dis
charged United States army captain. He
faces the, dreary , prospect of civilian
life with downcast! spirits. After his
stirring army experience In France the
prospect ot returning to the regular
and tiresome routine of office work no
longer possesses any attraction for him.
He deelres to find an occupauon that
will give him the i excitement and its
accompanying joys like that of his work
as a United States officer.
The Btory gives Tom Moore many op
portunities to reveal his ability as a dra
matic actor, of which he takes full ad
vantage. The story is also true to life
In all Its details.. It relates the diffi
culties of not only one young man, but
hundreds who are dissatisfied with the
future of their civilian life. The army
gave them ( variety and excitement, al
ways appreciated by youth, ana tne
dullness that hails their return to civilian
occupations is not the least or last of
their grumbles.
But the cx-captaln In "Duds" Is more
fortunate than the j majority. He finds
a post as detective to a syndicate of
wealthy men. He gets the thrills of his
life while tracking the thieves of the
famous Sultana diamond, and meets
secret service men and women who be
come his "rivals in business." He beats
them to it and they are at last obliged
to admit the amateur has won the -day.
Duds" gives all the thrills and pa
thos appreciated by the picture going

cess by those who have seen it.
