Walthall st Rialto.
Henry B. Walthall, one of the first
favorite of the screen, will return
in a featured role with the presenta
tion of "One Clear Call at the
Rialto theater this 'week. Associated
with Mr. Walthall in this production
are Milton Sills and Claire Windsor
Vi the featured roles.
In one instance, at least,s several
hundred riders are called upon to
depict a night time foray of Ku
Klux Klansmen.
Action in the story centers around
a small Alabama town where Henry
Garnett has returned to the home
town again. Among his old asso
ciates Dr. Alaji Hamilton, a brilliant
surgeon, is the only one who extends
the hand of friendship. Suffering
trom, physical ills young Garnett en
dures mental anguish because of the
disappearance of his yonng wife,
agayist whom he had committed no
wrong, but who had left him solely
because she disapproved of his me
thod of living. Dr. Hamilton dis
covers that the woman he loves is
the missing wife and in. the dual con
flict between love and loyalty the
story finds one of its elements of in
terest. As an added attraction. Bus
ter Keaton enacts plenty of comedy
in "The Blacksmith."
' Dustin Farnurn at World.
Strange Idols' is the interesting
title of a picture in which that capa
ble actor, Dustin Farnum, appears
as the star and which is the" chief
cinema attraction at the World
theater , this 'week. The story is of a
love match between two tempera
ment diametrically opposed a rich
lumberman, from the forest and
beautiful cabaret dancer of gayest
New York ; a man in whom the call
of the wild finds a ready response
and a girl to whom the white J hts
of Broadway are ai the breath of
life. The subject is one in wich Ihe
possibilities for intense dramatic ac
tion are obvious and it is equally
obvious that Dustin Farnum should
handle the star role with great skill
and good taste.
Connie Talmadge at Moon.
Patrons of th? Moon theater will
a,gain be treated to a rare bit of
comedy entertainment when Con
stance Talmadge revival, "Good
Night, Paul!" opens today for a four
days' engagement! ."Good Night
Paul!" is another of the earlier Con
stance Talmadge features that showed
so successfully during its earlier days
that the producers found it necessary
to again present the picture for pub
lic sppproval.
A swiftly moving outdoor drama,
crammed with adventure and ro
mance, tomes to the Moon theater
next Thursday when "Trimmed,"
Hoot Gibson's production, will be the
chief attraction. It is a typical Gib
son picture and those who have ad
mired this popular screen star in
other film stories of the west are
promised an enjoyable evening when
"Trimmed'- is shown here.

herself enmeshed In a net of tangled
emotions.
Incidents of passion and icalousv
merge swiftly into a turmoil cf inci
dent which has the murder of the
prince as the climatic scene. News
of the situation in which Genevieve
finds herself reaches DanielNn Amer
ica. ' Scentine trouble in a letter he
has received from Genevieve's broth
er, Horace, he arrives on the scene
and is unconsciously drawn into the
tangle.' His keen American oerceo-
tion quickly sizes up the situation,
but he shrewdly holds all his cards
until the psychological moment and
then slashingly exposes the prince,
who proves to be profligate and
assassin.
Genevieve, thoroughly disillu
sioned, realizes that she has never
really ceased loving "the man from
home;" and is well content to feel
Daniel's arms around her once more
and to go back to Indiana.
