TOPAV THE late Theodore Roosevelt, cx-president of the United States, who was engaged in adding to his reputation as one of the doughtiest of American fighters in airy field where right seemed to need a champion, when his untime ly death resulted, had an important part in the controversy which de veloped in New York City soon after "The Unpardonable Sin," Maj. Rupert Hughes' well-known book, was published. With Blanche Sweet in the leading role, the screen version will be the attraction at the Boyd theater for a second week. Major Hughes, who will always be grateful to Colonel Roosevelt for the part he took in defending the book, remarked not long ago, when he saw the picture version in New York, that it would always remain one of his regrets that Colonel Koorevelt had not lived to see the powr for good which had been evolved from the storyland so strik ingly presented in the photoplay. The Lyman H. Howe Travel Fes tival which started its four-day en gagement at the Brandeis theater yesterday, takes the audience upon a tour of Japan; into the Canadian wilds on , a canoe fishing trip; through Yellowstone National park; into the Italian Alps, where the ski warriors of democracy are trained; in looping the loop warplanes over the city of Washington; down the mysterious Ocklawaha river in the Florida glades; and upon a thrilling adventure in the South seas,' where huge sea elephants are captured alive. Characteristic Howe ani mated cartoons and film novelties complete the program. William Stowell, who appears in the role of "Eagle Ryan" in sup port of Mildred Harris Mrs. Char lie Chaplin in "When a Girl Loves," which will be shown at the Brandeis theater next Thursday and Friday only, has added to his many laurels as a musician by scoring a distinct triumph as a song writer. Bfl's ability as a pianist every body calls him Bill at the studios is generally known among screen folk on the Pacific coast, but it was not until very recently that any one knew he wrote songs. Sessue Hayakawa, undoubtedly a most interesting and virile dramatic personality of the silent drama, has never done a stronger characteriza tion than Goro Moriyama, the role lie assumes in "His Debt," at the Muse again today and Tuesday. The highly emotional and thrill ing situations in the play afford this master actor many opportuni ties for the display of his superior talents, and he succeeds in making the character of the Japanese gamb ler who relentlessly pays "His Debt," almost uncanny in its vivid realism. The play emphasizes the racial differences of the orient and Occi dent, while in the development is shown the wide gulf between the two peoples which can never be bridged. It shows the relentless, fatalistic Buddhist and the tolerant western Christian. The latest novel of Rex Beach to be adapted to the screen is "The Brand," showing at the Rialto the ater. The story of the play is built upon the gold rush to Alaska. The moral and social life of the mining camps is depicted carefully. The just'ee meted out to the wrongdoer in mining camps is the theme of the AT THE THEATERS THAT sensational musical com edy hit, "Going Up," which, broke all records at the Liberty Theatre, New York, for nearly two seasons, will be the attraction at the Brandeis theater lor four days, be ginning Sunday, June 15th, with a matinee on Wednesday. "Going Up" is a veritable comedy classic presented in a whirl of pretty girls, modish costumes, mirth pro voking scenes, visualized and vocal ized by an incomparable cast of principals including Bobby Watson, Mary Lane, Bettie Parker, Lillian Raymond. Ethel Dale and Jay Dil lon. E. Merian and his Swiss company of 50 canines headlines at the Empress theatre in a pantomine, "The Territorials Quartered." It is an excruciating funny dog act. Mr. and Mrs. . Gordon Wilde, shadow-graphists extraordinary have a novel silhouette picture and talking act. They are assisted by their daughter, Miss Connie, a sing ing and dancing artist Kelly and Davus have a reportoire of laughter compelling songs. "As U Like It," is a comedy talking and dancing act introduced by Davey Jamison. His exhibition of soft shoe dancing takes you back to the days of George Primrose. Hale Hamilton is fea tured in the photoplay, "Full of Pep." A "Fatty" Arbuckle comedy, Outing Chester feature and Pathe weekly, complete the bill. German Assembly to Meet. Berlin, June 8.

At the time of its first show ing moralists attempted to have the production either barred from the screen or features to which they ob jected cut out Censorship boards of several states, after carefully re-vicw-ng the photoplay, refused to demand any changes. They based their ruling on the grounds that to censor certain parts of the film woti'd ruin the play and that Mr. Beach had carefully shown no scenes that were not true to life and especially true to the life at that time. "The New Moon," Norma Tal nndte's latest picture, at the Strand theater, is a story of Russia and the fight its women are making for their freedom. The revolutionists try 'to force the women in the town to become "naturalized" that mean ing that every woman between the ages of 18 and 45 must become the prooerty of the state and must live with any man that desires her. Norma Talmadge as the princess who was forced to leave her castle when it was attacked by the anarch ists, and who assumes the disguise of a peasant girl, leads the women to revolt and incites them to follow her example by refusing to register. It is a thrilling, absorbing picture with a tremendous theme. The production is unusually elab orate and beautitul, many ot the scents taking place at court. In the ballroom scenes, hundreds of ex tras were used, and magnificent cos tumes and military uniforms were worn. It certainly is a unique comedy plot which is unfolded in "All Wrong," featuring Bryant Wash burn, at the Sun theater, vances his theory of uneding court vances hi stheory of unending court ship, advocating the living apart of man and wiie in order to, as he says, "escape the contempt bred by too close an association!" A thousand and one things can quite easily happen to a couple who decide to live out a matri monial existence based upon such premises, and it is not difficult to be lieve that the pace becomes fast and furhus in a very short time. Com plications galore occur, some of uhirh rpsnlve themselves into not only complicated but uncompromis ing situations ot the most ludicrous type, which while being absolutely innient appear on the surface to be quite the reverse. NEBRASKA GIRL LIFE MEMBER OF E CORPS Miss Elizabeth Davidson of Springfield One of Eight Decorated for Can teen Service. London, June 8. Eight Ameri can young women have been made "life associate members" of the United States Marine corps and decorated with gold and silver brooches the reproduction of the marine corps insignia, in recogni tion of the work they have done in the London Red Cross canteen for the marines.

Y.; Mrs. Cora Portar, New York City; Miss Alice Collingwood, Endicott, N. Y. When the young women answered a request of Maj. Charles P. Gil christ, commanding officer of the marines in London, to call at naval headquarters, they were surprised to find a detachment of marines drawn up in salute. Major Gilchrist informed them of the purpose of summoning them and after pinning a brooch on each of the proud war workers, he handed each a copy of a letter in which he wrote: "If it could be done, the men of the marine detachment would dec orate you with the Naval Distin guished Service medal as a token of our appreciation of the work you have done in the canteen for ma rines and sailors at 52 and 40 Gros venor Gardens, London. "You have nightly spent hours at this aruous work, and your invari able cheerfulness and comradeship have done much to reconcile us to our lot of serving behind the fight ing front. "The British hospitality has been untiring, but it has been our privi lege to receive at your hands the genuine American touch which kept afresh our realization of the charm and sacredness of 'the best type of our country's womanhood, which you so splendidly typify."
