Excellent Features of This Week‘s Bill
Please Audiences.
Patriotic fervor, plenty of wholesome laughter, the best
of music and the charm of youthful romance – each
has its part in pleasing the crowds at the Rialto this week.
At the sight of the big guns on the United States
steam-ship Pennsylvania and the sound of the national airs
played by the orchestra, the audience rises to its feet
en masse at each performance and makes the house ring with
applause such as it has never heard before. E. Alexander
Powell, the war correspondent, gives a most timely talk on what
the new international complication means to the
United States.
„Polly Redhead,“ the Bluebird photoplay, in which Ella Hall
appears as the star, is a sympathetic story, capitally played.
Miss Hall portrays a dual role – that of a twelve-year-old housemaid
and of the little noblewoman whom circumstances require
her to impersonate. William Worthington Jr., who plays her little
brother, is perhaps the best „screen baby“ in pictures
today. The story is founded on Edgar Jepson‘s „Pollyooly“
stories, adapted by E. J. Clawson and Produced
by Jack Conway.
Charlie Chaplin depicts the woes of a policeman on a tough
beat in his new comedy, „Easy Street,“ which continues
all week. „Big Bluffs and Bowling Balls,“ written and directed
by Lawrence Semon, amused the crowds.
