Play at Rialto lias an Unusual Group of Big Actors Concerned in Its Incidental Action ,ECIL B. DE MILLE has come forward w'ith another special production, said by, prominent eastern critics, to be his best. This time hrSTchoice is the well-knowu m Rupert Hughes story, "We . Can t Have Everything." It will be shown at lher Rialto' theater, the firs-four days of this week. Seldom is so .splen did a cast assembled in a single photo play as that provided in "We Can't Have Everything." Kathlyn Williams, Wanda. Hiwley, Elliott Dexter, Sylvia Bceame, .Thurston Hall, Tully Mar shall and "Theodore Roberts, all stars in their-, own right, are members of the castVcThe story of the play deals with the vexatious problem of mar riage' and divorce in high society . circles of New York. There are vampires,, galore, whose chief biisiifess, is thai of. matrimony, men who marry " and- remarry only because it is.-dcr 1 tnanded by society and men who are seeking a real helpmate as a wife. J There arc perhaps more,, divorces and marriages in "We Can't Have Everything" than in any single pro duction yet completed. Though there are a number of leading charcters, . they, are paired off so as to make separate "plays within plays," - the whole blejnding cleverly into a gen ial idea. Dramatic critics have been almost unaniinofis in declaring it an .exceedingly difficult problem of pro duction which is cleverly handled by. Mr. De Mille. The idea of the enfire picture Ts, "We Can't Have Every- - thing'' in this life, no matter how great.au effort toward that end may be made 1 , The famous La Jolla caves, near San -Diego, Cal., were brought into . seryke when Douglas Fairbanks waA filmed, in "The Americana," in . which he appears at the Sun this week. Cal- ' ifornja boasts that it has scenery. for . almost anything that can be imagined, so when it was demanded that j a South American setting be produced j with a high cliff with secret passages through it ending in caves by the sei, La Jolla came to the rescue. The cav erns extend more than 200 feet into the side of an immense cliff and are said to have been the rendezvous of one'of the most notorious of the ban dits of the early Spanish days on the Pacific coast. The pjay itself is one of Doug's bet. TheTe is a mixture of , natiofial enthusiasm, tropical revolur tion and an intense love affair, with Doug the eager wooer of a fair Span ish girl. When the "Ajnericano," not at all liked in the South American , republic starts his love romance about j the ' only person in the world who seemf to approve of it is the girl, but after a thrilling series of (vents when he proves that he is not only quick witted, but also brave and true, Doug wins the girl and sets the father back in the seat of power.' ; " 'The Eyes of the World" has been booked ;foc presentation at the Bran- I 1 ORPHEUM 24th nd M ROY STEWART in THE FLY GOD" Monday and TueadV MARY GARDEN . . in "THE SPLENDID SINNER" , Wednesday BABY MARIE OSBORNE ' and FINALE of "HOUSE OF HATE" ALII AM BR A 2P4.l'd ROY STEWART in "THE FEY GOD" .
