Nevertheleis, in spite of the brevlty ith which virtues and powers are nceded and the Jay with which short >mings are elaborated, this series of cetches offers qualities in criticism ire in Washington. It has humor. or ither wit; it has a well-stored mem ry; it has knowledge of other cotn 'les and of books. It has what I believe the regular ritics call background. It alludes to rowning and Samuel Butler witpout !ferring to them. if you know what I lean. Presldent Harding. according to ala critic. has for his greatest pow s modesty, tact, and. a natural flection of the attributed and pre dices of the average man. "Out his modesty, his desire to reinforce mself, has proceeded the strongest abinet Washington has had in a ineration." Against en-President Wilson the thor is almost savage. He baa .ad or heard about Freud, and the hole chapter is based on over >mpensation, inferiority complexes. nd other things that most of my lende have been talking about since reue became the leader of the ever. Ex lIanation of Wilson. The whole explanation of Wilson. Cording to this author, is that in is youth he acquired an inferiority )mplex from deciding that he was rifit for law or business and so went , teach In a girls' school. Although rllson had not then heard of Freud, e knew there was nothing for him i do but overcompensate himself so lifelong arroganoe. Secretary Hughes, according to the itthor. has the best mind connected ith Government in Washington. is whiskers. which used to be cut , suggest a parson. are now cut to ggest a cosmopolitan minister of reign affairs. The politicians do at like him. "They feel like the an who saw the hippopotamus: "If he should stay to tea. I thought. There won't be much for us." The chapter on Colqil House sif" rs somewhat more than the othere om omniscience. "House gets his stons of the brotherhood of man nd the rest of it second hand from rlson." The author. wpll read as s is, has overlooked some of the cuments and dates in Colonel ouse's life. An Estimate of Taft. While. I am on this subject it may S said that an easy mastery of mani aid difficulties is an attribute of everness, and this book is strikingly ,id attractively clever. "Mr. Taft as a great judge." says he. Mr. Taft as a circuit judge for an extremely tort time and was neither better nor oree. in those brief months twenty ears ago, then twenty others. The essay on Hoover is interesting, mntering around the usual idea about Ls publicity sense. This statement always made about people like ooeevelt. Sarah Bernhardt and even tilson, whos powers attract .atten on. With a character like Lodge6 whose ey motive is venom, the author's Ifts are at their best. As the adver sements say, the sketch must be aed to be appreciated. For the next llon-I am sure there will be one contribute this tale. It is related that Charles William tiot said: "I have known Cabot Lodge all his l'e and I never knew him to have a enerous emotIon." The author makes a felicitous con |uion to his sketch by quoting [aenulay's Review of Barere's Mi oirs: "We now propose to do him, by ie blessing of God, full and signal astice." The final chapter. on Borah, eon Line a welcome absence of cer' inty: "He is virtually unknown in that range bedlam composed largely of xial climbers and official poseurs lied Washington society."

Katherine MacDonald the personi fication of feminine loveliness. is the pictured star of the bill arranged for Initial Washington presentation throughout the current week at Cran tall's Theater, In "Trust Your Wife." ene of the season's most intensely Interesting attractions. Yesterday's capacity crowds offered conclusive proof of - the popularity of "The American beauty" and their rapt at tention bore mute evidence of the grip of her latest vehlicle. "Trust Your Wife" is a screen adaptation of H. S. Sheldoh's sue ceesful stage play. "Conscience," and has for its leading figures a young ntarried couple who visit New York to "put over" a money-naking scheme with no more capital than the proverbial shoestring. Livin rar beyond their means In order to give the Impression of financial sta bility, they seek the aid of one Slater r. Holcomb. millionaire and roue. At tracted by the beauty and charm of the wife. Holconb brings presure to bear agalnst 4the husband. Frantic In her desire to aid her husband, hiargot Hastings goes aboard the liolcomb yacht at night to intercede In his behalf. Before she can leave he craft has got under way and is steaming slowly down the river. The husband, who has learned of Ifargot's whereabouts through an ather woman wvho had crept into Hol :omb's life, stands on the dock, just too late to learn the truth. From this situation Is built one of the most powerful cUmnaxe. that the screen has ever reflected, and one that places heavy demands upon the emotional ability .of Miss MacDonald. David Winter is cast in the role op posits the star and Charles Richman as the millionaIre. All offer splen lid characterizations. The bill is augment.ed by "Bhort and Snappy." a new comedy, and )ther short-reels. LOEW'S COLUMBIA "Too Wise Wives." Lois Weber, In "Too Wise Wives,' has given the screen one of the moost powerfully dramatic and scenically rnagnificent productions that the screen has yielded In the past year, and it is a production that will un loubtedly take precedence, In many of its qualities, over those two more re yent Weber productions, "What's Worth While?" and "To Please One Woman." Offered at Loew's Colum bia- Theater yesterday for the first tine in Washington, as the feature >ffering, "Too Wise Wives" reveals Iles Weber's directoral genius a,t Its best, and her cast includes Iouis Dalhern, Mona Lisa. Claire Windsor and others. "Too Wine Wives" was written and produced by Lois Weber-a woman for women. It will be of particular in terest.4 however, to husbands whose highest domestic ambition is to be let alone and it will particularly fascinate thos wives who spend their time In rain attempts to please their husband. and do not know why they fall. Fur' thermore, it is the story of one wife who was unfaithful in thought, but trew back from the borderline of wrong, as well a the story of a wife who loved not wisely but two well.
