At the Washington.
"What Women Love,'* a First Na-
tional Attraction was graphically, ex-
plained at the Washliigtop Theatre
( when Annette KeHWman appeared In
her remarkable comedy drama of that
name.
r As the dnughter of a moral crusader
the star shocks her father's friends
and by an Inuocent bit of naturalness
force* his resignation as president of
the Purity/ League. They sail for Hon-
olulu to forget it, using the palatial
yacht of one of the two most ardent
suitors for her hand. ,
How the beautiful girl wins in a
desperate underwater struggle with a
lustful man, saves the man she loves
from death at the hands of a muti-
nous crew and teaches her future
husband the gospel of physical pre-
paredness, forms the brilliantly dra-
fatic theme of the story,
"What Women Love" was produced
"*l y Sol Lesser, tbe young Pacific
coast producer. The story was writ-
ten by Bernard McConville, who wrote
many screen successes for Mary
Pick ford, Norma Talmadge and Lilr
Han Glsh. The production was su-
pervised by II. P. Caplfield, formerly
general manager of 1'iilvcrsal City
rectorial associate of Lois Weber^
The brilliant story is ably presented
by a notable cast. Tbe players In
support of Miss Kellehnan are
Wheeler Oakman, Walter I/ ng, Carl
ITlhnan, Ralph Lewis and the famous
Bull Montana.
In plot, direction and photography,
•*W hat-Women Iiove" is one of the
most appealing pjiotodramas in which
a big star hns been featured In years.

WAX VETERAN RETURNS
TO FOB) PLACE USURPED
Kansas City, Mo., Dec. 31.—One of
the wienlest pranks of fate played tyy
the world war was revealed Wednes-
day when Robert F. Cummings, Jr.,
veteran of the Argonne, complained to
police that a stranger had usurped
his name apd place in his home. Cum-
direded by Nate Watt, formerly a di-+to,"K« .declared hp had returned from
fifteen months' service in France to
find the stranger sitting in his "former
seat at the family table."
"My mother refuses to recognise,
me," wailed Cummings. "She says the
other guy is her son. He looks Just
Hk« me, too."
Police Investigation could not locate
the "the stranger" and Mrs. Cummings '
police say. charged the world war
veteran with an attempt to "obtain
hep property." Cummings' father told
police bis wife had acted strangely <
and declared the Argonne veteran to
be hts son. He said he did not know
what became of the "stranger." •'
Since being refused entrance to l)ls
home, Cummings has Jtaen living
dependently and police on y learned Of
the case today when friends ot the
veterpn called their attention to tlpi
unique situation.
The father aud son were advised to
take action In probate court. Both de-
clared they lielleved * the "stranger'*
had designs ou Mrs. Cuiamiuge' prop-
erty, ' •' i

ha* been understood for several years
wa# engaged tS the lute "Bqbby" Har-
rori, with Mm sli grew up In films,
although she had half a doaen suitors
on the string. ■:%',%} ' ■ '
From the first Dorothy Glsh saw
James Rcuuie aptxarlng wllb Ruth
Clyitterton on a Broadway stage In
' "Moonlight and Honeysuckle." it-was
a case of love at first sight. The com-
edienne declared to her Ulster. Lillian.
that he was "the ideal lending map."
ami they went behind the scenes to
engage him for Dorothy's next pic-
ture, and the engagement became a
protin< t< d one. ,
