5 Br EARLE DORSET.. Just why Mr. Smlthaon, the pro¬ducer of "The Man on the Balcony."should select Washington for a try-out ot this most amazing dramawill always remain a mystery of themodern American theater.

"The Man on the Balcony" Is of¬fered as a comedy drama. Tech¬nically It 18 drama, but comedy.mithousand times no! As a play ittakes rank as the outstanding pieceof literary bollermaking the currentseason has yet afTorded. while itsdirection would drive any dramatistto frenzy. It supersedes ThedaBara s play, "The Blue Flame," a»the modern classic of crass theatertechnique.

It opens with a prologue.a pro¬logue that s««ms, for the moment, tohave been momentarily lifted fromthe chronicles of H. Marriott Wat¬son's "Galloping Dick." A ladyefaire, pursued by a villain in cos-

tume, is rescued by an outlaw whobide the fellow begone. A momentor two later the outlaw is shot bythe King's men without the chanceto marry the lady, who manifestlyloves him devotedly at once.The three acts that follow an at<

tempt to spread this episode over amodern setting, in which the hlgh-wayman conveniently steps into thelady's bedroom to save her fromsuicide, marries her out of the dis¬grace of Illegitimate motherhood,prevents her father from corneringthe wheat market, outwits a fa¬mous detective and a few dozenothers. only*to be slain in the lastact as he renounces love ax a thingimpossible in a highwayman's busi.ness.

"The Man on the Balcony" Is a

thing of gorgeous naivette. It Is asinnocent in its aimlessness as "TheVoung Visitors". It gets Its effortsfrom thin air and rarely bothers tointroduce causes.

Its technique proves conclusivelythat the drama of "Bertha, the Sew¬ing Machine Girl" did not die withthe invention °f the movie. It pre¬sents a splendid object-lesson in howa director may instill Into actors allthe verve and vivacity of an orches¬tra chair.A touching story. "The Man on the

Balcony." I>et us not further dissi¬pate our adjectives. Go and wasteyour own.

COLUMBIA.tfarion Davie* |n '.When Knighthood

Warn In Flower.**Days of romance and chivalry live

again in the elaborate screen pro¬duction of "When Knighthood Wasin Flower." starring Marion Davies.which opened Its second big week atLoew's Columbia yesterday.Taken from one of the sweetest

love stories ever told, it reflects notonly the greatness of a woman'slove, but all the pomp and ceremony,the plotting and intrigue, the gor¬geous splendor of the courts ofKing Henry VII of England andKing Louis XII of France. It costCosmopolitan Productions a millionand a half dollars to make the pic¬ture. Three New York studios wereused and two continents were comb¬ed. in search of treasures whichwould make the big court scene ab¬solutely authentic.The interpretation which Marion

Davies gives the ro^e of the lovelyPr»ncesg Mary Tudor, the role madefamous by Julia Marlowe in thestage production of "When Knight¬hood Was in Flower," Is easily thegreatest of her career. Miss Davieebrings to the role not only youthand beauty, but a delightful senseof humor, which enables her to por¬tray the fun-loving qualities of theprincess with zest. In the big dra¬matic scenes she is given as widea scope as is ever accorded an ac¬tress. for Princess Mary Tudor com¬bined the qualities of a JuTiet. aRosalind and a Beatrice all In one.William Fred Peters has com¬

posed ,an original music score es¬pecially for the production and Vic¬tor Herbert contributes two originalwaltzes. "The Marion Davies March"and "When Knighthood Was InFlower" Waltz."When Knighthood Was In

F'ower" marks something absolutelyunique from a directorial point ofview. Robert G. Vignola. who di¬rected the picture, had to guide 3,000actors through the gorgeous andimpressive mazes of one big scene,showing the wedding procession ofPrincess Mary Tudor and old KingLouis XII of France. The big sceneis a photoplay masterpiece 1b every
