New York WASHINGTON Paris Store Closes 6 P. 31 8 i WAR THRILLS IN GAPTALTHEATERS " Tho "typlekl Morosco cast" emu back to town last night when that prolific producer "presented" & new play oh. yes. It WAS a war play 'Watch Tour Neighbor." at Poll's. Like Three Faces East." the title .of this latest product of the dramatists' pen Is a. play of the secret service the English. Like "Three Faces East." there is an American heroine. But there the comparison ends. Watch Tour Neighbor," has one of the test first acta ever seen In this city. It has the best bit of characteriza tion, of clerer dialogue, of dry humor of everything that goes to make one forget the war. The play's lead ing; role Is of the silly ass variety, so well done In other days by the elder Eothern as Dundreary and Lawrance D'Orsay In "The Duke of Paw tucket." But the silly ass subse quently, saves the situation and the allies simultaneously, and all ends as It should. Throughout the play, which was Written by Leon Gordon (who plays Captain Bennett, the s. a.) and Le Roy Clemens, there is humor, suspense, and delightful acting, as well as a bit of love making. The second act. playing in Switzerland In the rendez vous of the pacifists, develops into a nice, thrilling melodrama in which the aforementioned a. a. Indulges in fisticuffs, wrestling, and a flying leap from a window. So far aa the acting la concerned, honors were divided by Mr. Gordon and Edith, the Goldfish, who was played by herself. As he said in the eecond act or was it In the thrld? Edith got along swimmingly. How ever, ypa can judge for yourself, be ing a. hardened theatergoer. Mr. Gordon wore a Chaplin mustache. (but not his shoes) and played with nicety of touch and a keen sense of humor. In some ways, Edith over shadowed him completely, especially In the tank scene. A long cast aided Mr. Gordon. First was Mary Servoss. as the Ameri can girL Miss Servoss was sweet to look upon; she acted with reserve and discretion, and. thanks be. her enun ciation Is superlatively clear and dis tinct. Others In the cast were Doug lass Ross as Corporal Greene; Fred erick Esmelton. who made a fine British Major Tommsi Gerald Pring es Captain Fielding: Stanley Harrison as Sergeant Blrdseye, who saved the eltaation with the help of Edith, and " .host, of others, prominent among "- " ". teuton i-u jiitcneii as a. wrniaa conspirator.

The Hearst-Pathe news film is also eeen. Washington before capacity crowds at Moore s Strand "Theater yesterday, a screen entertainment that will en trench him more firmly than ever In the public mind as the foremost photoplay director in America. "The Great Love" possesses merits that were not conspicuous in "Hearts of the World." It eludes those, terrify ing aspects of war that made its immediate predecessor so harrowing. The narrative traces the adventur ous career of- Jim Toung. from Toungstown, Pa- who Joins the British army, falls .In love with a young Australian girl, who spiteful ly marries the plot's German secret agent, fights a good fight in the field and after winning a commission frustrates the Hun plan for the de struction of London. The action of the early reels abounds in humorous situations' which gradually merge into more serious drama and in the climacteric scenes logically occasion an astound lngly realistic attack of a fleet af raiding Zeppelins. Robert Harron and Lillian Glsh, as the youthful lovers the vicissitudes of whose devotion finally end in wedlock, offer Impersonations of the most refreshing sort. Henry D. Wal thall, returned to the Griffith fold, does one of his finest pieces of act ing as the bogus Italian baron who in reality is an Austrian spy. Another distinction is the parti cipation in numerous scenes of the foremost members of English court and society circles, including the queen mother; Alexandra. Lady'TJIana Manners, the. Countess Massareoe, the Princess oJ?.' Monaco, the HonC Mrs. Montague, Elizabeth Asqulth, and many others. "The Great Love" will be shown throughout the week at the Strand supplemented by the customary shorter reels of news and comedy subjects. ' of 08 to the Alaskan fields, "Is being screened at the Criterion the first part of the present week. It presents Miss Dalton In the role of a harpy of the dance hall. She is known a "The Flame." In one tx- citing scene, "The Flame" succeeds in breaking the bank and winning back all the money that her sweet heart had lost In a crooked game- Melbourne McDowell, noted star of the legitimate stage, makes his first screen appearance in this picture. Kenneth Harlan, who' takes the -part of "the stranger" opposite Miss Dal ton, does some of the best acting of his screen career. SAI'OV. The new Clara Kimball Toung suc cess, "The Savage Woman," was "projected before appreciative audi ences at Crandall's Savoy yesterday. The star's role Is that of ' Renee Benoit, daughter qf a drunken trader, who has a hut in the Abyssinian mountains. The girl grows to woman hood without seeing any numan be ing except her father. To this region comes Jean Lerler. a French archae ologist, who takes the girl back with him to Paris, intending to use her as a foil to arouse the Jealousy of a French beauty. Renee senses the situation, and escapes back to her native wilds. Jean pursues and the picture ends happily. STROLLING FIGURES INTR E WINDOWS Edwin Mandel. head of Mandel Bros- Chicago department store, has introduced a fascinating method of window display. Ever present crowds before the window prove Its effec Iveness. A slotted track In the floor con nects three or more revolving disks. Figures garbed in forthcoming modes apparently walk slowly along the track from end to end of the window space, approaching the onlooker, move away, and turn, so that the gar ments may be seen from all sides and viewpoints. ' The device Is adaptable for the dis play of many varieties of goods, and Mandel Bros have already In mind some striking innovations for the Christmas .season. real life which accomplishes her end. and a reconciliation follows.

The basis Is found In the adherence on the part of Lemuel Antree to an an cient law which said that a man whose life was saved must become the ibond slave of his savior.
