Irene Was 4'Over There" Irene Franklin and her husband, Burton Green, have just, "done" the sawdust circuit back of the Yankee lines in France. They came back to New York a short time ago and were Immediately cast for principal parts in "The Passing Show of 1918," which Wglns an engagement at Poll's The- I ater this evening. There is something new about all Mifls Franklin's work in "The Pass-j tug Show." There is no suggestion of i .familiarity in her song "When the] Kaiser's Mother Called Him little | Willie," which, made to flt the emerg- ! ency of the moment is screamingly funny. Her dresses, to4>, smack of a I newness in both color and design, j While her hair?but who ever could describe that lovely, touseled, curly head of brightness? Indeed, Miss Irene j Franklin is as funny as ever a comedi enne can be. She's pretty, refined, in telligent. and has a sense of humor. Which is rarer than all the other I qualities. Miss Franklin was the first Ameri can artist to volunteer her services to go "over there" into the Over There Theater League. Elsie Janis preceded her into the camps, but then Miss Janis was already on the other side. Miss Franklin and her husband had to sail from this side. '."New York, Boston and Chicago now." says Miss Franklin, "are 'small time' compared to the 'one night stands' in the Yankee camps. That is the real job, and, I want to tell you. too. that it is a moral problem, for I learned that when the boys can get wholesome entertainment they will stay away from the things that de grade and ruin them. "I took my little 'Red Head* costume with me. socks and all. and whetne? It was freeling or raining I never failed to appear in that garb. Just back of the lines?we often got pretty close to the trenches?it was exciting. You see we weren't allowed many lights. just candles, and the theater was a truck upon which was placed a bum piano with a dozen keys missing and the rest out of kelter. But the boys simply went wild over the im promptu s entertftinment, for they knew we were the real thing trom' home. Many of them knew us, or, had seen Mr. Green and myself In vaudeville or In Winter Garden shows, I so that made them feel at home." , Alma Gluck will Rive her only recital ? | in Washington this season at the Na tional Theater Thursday afternoon.!

CURRENT ATTRACTIONS CONTINUED FROM PAGE THREE pardonable pride that Ixjoa's Colum bia Theater boasts a super show v.r* "The False Faces" in which Mr. Wal COL, ROOSEVELT, THE MAN, AS HOLLAND HAD KNOWN HIM \ ' Told of II is Selection for Candidacy for Gov ernor of New York as He Sat in Tent After Return with "Rough Riders." By HOLLAND. Col. Roosevelt saw to It that his "Rough Riders" were comfortably and speedily encamped upon the sand hills of Moptauk Point after j.their slow and tiresome sea Journey j fi o'm.

There came to Col. Roosevelt at that place upon a warm sutnmer 'afternoon two or three friends who | had an Important -communication to make to him.

"The False Faccs" has been pro duced from an adaptation of Louis Joseph Vance's Saturday Evening Post serial in which the further ad i venture* of "The Lone Wolf" are re counted. The story is distinguishes ~y rapid action, tense plots, intricate sit uations and splendid character deun | eations, and any one who has scot* | Henry Walthall in action knows that lit is Just tTlis type of story that tits (this virile and inspiring artist. There are so many interesting angles j from which "The False Faces" coulu be discussed to give the playgoer an idea of the story that o"ne is forced to view the broad tcope of the plot which reaches from America to Ku ropo and back again as its chief rec ommendation IDs a feature that will indeed entertain and supply the thrill that creeps up the spine as well. Love ! enters into the story?a mysterious ' and lovely girl, involved in a n* twors of lies, suspicions and untoward h ip penines. The picture Is tilled with that Quality of suspense that holds the spectator open-mouthed, rigid in h:s chair, waiting with "bated breath eacn new development until the startling I denouement which unravels the snarl and brings out triumphant those who are enmeshed by the-web. To say that Mr. Walthall is sup ported by a splendid cast is to para phrase the individual words of praise that each member of the company merits. That the production is sump tuou-ly staged is but to repeat that it | us all that one would expeot from the | master hand of Thomas H. Ince.
