As the first anniversary attraction
lis, week, the management of the
loon theater could have booked no
etter picture for character work,
frateeic incidents and human inter-
st than is "Trumpet Island, a Tom
erriss production.
A series of surprises in the way
f special entertainment awaits the
atrons of the Moon.
The story breathes strictly of
-imance and adventure.
Time after time Eve de Merin
iurt and Richard Bedell are drawn
igether as if by a whimsicality of
estiny. 'But, each time there is
mething standing between a wall.

her with growing interest but go
1 their, separate ways, never meet
's. Finally fate having brought therh
ose to death and to life worse than
tath. relents, and in a manner dram
atic yet realistic and logical, act
implishes their joint salvation anq
ernal happiness.
It is a powerful story and a pro
tetion worthy of it in every par-
cular. Romantic adventure has no
ttter delineator today than Gouver
ur Morris, and in "Trumpet
stand" the noted author has writ-
n one of his most gripping tales,
has the intertwining of tragedy
id lighter moments, the revelation
f human character in the making,
e vivid progress of the lives of its
tiaracters towards the end. Whether
at end will be doom or happiness
revealed, just as in life, only at
e finish.
A novel act of singers and players
igments the Moon s anniversary

ared in celebrating the theater's

be shown at the Rialto this entire
week.
Except for several implausible
thrills that enter the reporter's series
of escapades, the picture is a thor
ough success' for interest.
The' storjr is based on newspaper
work, in which an energetic team of
reporters unearth a mystery of start
ling nature. Back of the entire mys
tery, plot is the pertinent question of
the day: Is the substitution of new
human organs practicable so far as
the prolongation of life is concerned?
The audience will be mvstihe and
thrilled by the unusual events that
line the path of the reporter.'who
ia told to . "Go and Get It"
The entire plots of the story is
based On this scientific phenomen,
although the story is a mpst truthful
picture of a newspaper reporter's
work.
The title is taken from a quartet
of'words that strike home in the
heart of every newspaper man "Go

self. "Parlor, Bedroom and Bath,"
what may be called the locale of the
play, is replete with sheer nonsense,
sheer joy and sheer pajamas. No
doubt the pictjure is funny. A re
view emphasized that.
'yThe situation or at least the cen
tral situation, for there are any num
ber of them deals-with Reggie Irv
ing who for . many years had sought
to win Angelica. This young
woman wanted a man just the op
posite of what her own name im
plied. She wanted a wild one, and
since Reggie had no idea of how to
be wild," had no inclinations toward
sowing even a little patch' of the un
tamed oats, he perforce sought out
side aid. He went to Polly Hath
away, society reporter' on the scan
dal sheet, and asked her to use dark
polish on his reputation.
Ruth Stonehouse enacts the breezy,
resourceful girl reporter; and
Eugene Pallette, who was the in
nocuous Billy Bartlett in "Fair and
Warmer," starring May Allison, and
who later was seen with Bert Lytell
in "Alias Jimmy Valentine," plays
Reggie. The part of Angelica is
deftly and delightfully enacted by
Kathleen Kirkham who, after this
production, will form and appear in
special pictures made by her own
company. Henry Miller, jr., son

of the famousi actor-manager, has
also an important part in "Parlor,
Bedrcom and Bath." v
Strand "Hairpins" - and Jhe
Jackknife Man."
"Hairpins," a light comedy-drama,
is the attraction at the Strand thea
ter the first four days, of this week.
"The Notorious Miss Lisle," a story
of comedy, completes the program
the latter half of the week.
Enid Bennett, star in "Hairpins,"
has the role of Muriel Rossmore,
married for on!ya few years, but so
thoroughly domesticated that she
neglects her personal appearance
and will not desert the kitchen for
the opera or other entertainments
that her young husband offers. Feel
ing an aversion to her slovenly ways,
he seeks solace with his pretty, dain
ty stenographer. Muriel becomes in
formed of the state of affairs and
blossoming over-night jnto a social
butterfly, she soon brings her erring
spouse back to the straight and nar
row. Matt Moore is the leading man
in 'tht play. , '
Probably no more entertaining pic
ture has been produced than "The
Notorious Miss Lisle." Katherine
MacDonald is the star. The plot
deals with a girl's love ambitions.
Empress "The Little Wanderer"
and "The Week .End."
Petite, charming Shirley Mason is
the star in "The Little Wanderer"
at the Empress theater the first four
days of this week. Th story is of
a poor girl who, to escape from in
tolerable conditions, dons a disguise
and, as" a boy, boards a coal train
bound for the city. Her experiences
in the crowded town are many and
Tajried and the cloudp which hover
over her are first pierced by the-un-light
of unselfish friendship and fi
nally dispelled by the gentle breezes
of love. It is a character which fits
finely the unique personality of the
charming young star. Refined hu-

A screen version of "The Week

ton's novel of .the sameiame, is the
chief film, attraction at the Empress

a highly entertaining production,
sparkling with wit and humor' and
abounding in glorious California
scenery. Margarita Fisher is the
star. The story is of a week-end
party and to mention that it was
lively is tame. .Neighbors of the girl
in the story talked too freely. Their
gossip and her family's pride were
a bad c6mbination which nearly fin
ished the tender love chapter which
opened on her first week-end cele

But the plucky girl won out in the

Newspaper Work .
Typified in New 1
Play at Rialto
The sporting instinct . and the
goodfellowship of the newspaper
man is proverbial. Even the lay
man is familiar with it, for American
fiction is filled with records of it.
In no other profession does this
friendly rivalry exist iir any measure
to the exteniJhat it does in the puri v
suit of a story.
A town must be small indeed that
doesViot bbast of at least two news- ,
papers and there is no sheet in the
country that does not have- its "star
reporter." Therefore it is only too '
evident that nearly every town has
at least one pair of these "Friendly
Enemies.", vbout the first thing a
"cub" reporter 'learns upon embark
ing on his career of journalism is the
"code oi honor." And while this .
has never been framed to speech its
phrasiology if it were would be
about this "Fight like hell when
you're after your story, but forget
it and be a good fellow with your
rival when your work is done.".
Rival reporters when on the scent
of "scoop" vill fight each other like
demons. They will fcse every device
in tHeir power to beat the other fel
low. They will even become bitter
in their rivalry, but at the end of the
day's work will walk arm and arm
down the street together. It is the
spirit of the game and any man who
is not ' quickly' influenced by it as
indeed hopeless. . ,
And this spirit being so prevalent
in that world's greatest institution
the press it is strange that until the '
presen time no motion picture pro
ducer has utilized it as a theme for
a pictore. Marshall Neilan seems
to have been the first to realize its
possibilities and the keenness of his
judgment is most eloquentlyxproven
in the success of his tremendously
powerful picture on this subject,
"Go arid Get It," just leleasecl
through First National.
In this fascinating photoplay not
only the rivalry of two star report
ers of opposition, newspapers is
told in a graphic manner, but the en
tire workings of a big daily sheet,
the gathering of the news, through
the copy desk, tp the composing,,
room and on to the presses and later
to the streets is shown in its every
detail. In "Its making one of the
largest newspaper plants in this
country was photographed from the
huge presses in action to the sane-
tity of the publisher's palatial pri- -vate
office. And so truthful is this
screened reproduction that it has
elicited the spontaeonus approval of
every newspaper man from the man
aging editor down to the copy boy
.Matt Moore Reticent.
A good actor on the screen, it fi
doubtful if Matt Moore, w'ho ap
pears with Enid Bennett in "Hair-
pins," would ever succeed on the
stage. Matt doesn't like to talk.
He's the man who put the "silent" '
in "silent drama." At work on a
picture, he never says a word and
between scenes, instead of mingling
with the other folks in the studio,
he just goes off by himself and reads
a book or a magazirtt. Not that
Matt is a snob. He simply likes to
be alone.
Matt broke into motion pictures
with his brothers, Tomand Owen,
at the same time with Mary and
Jack Pickford and the rest of the
old Biograph players. He makes an
excellent impression in the Thomas
H. Ince picture. "Hairpins," in which
