"In the Heart of a Fool," the" fea
ture attraction at the Rialto theater

in martial relationship. ,
- Through a train of absorbingly
dramatic events, it pictures the dis
: illusionment and heartaches suffered

instinct for love.
The opening scenes of the Dwan

western metropolis where the hero
ine, Laura Nesbit, is seen as the
belle of local society. She is loved
by Grant Adams, a young journalist
of forceful personality. At a house
party, Laura, to arouse her lover's
jeaiousv, inns outrageously wun
Tom Van Dorn, a rising lawyer but
an unscrupulous philanderer, in
whose, heart rests the conviction
that there is no God.
' Construing Laura's actions as in
dicating a lack of attection, Adams,
heartbroken, allows himself to be
drawn into an affair with the Lorelie
a siren without scruples. He leaves
town. Van Dorn woos Laura. She
knows his weakness but hushing the
dictates of reason, marries him to
protect him from the demon of evil
from within him. Tiring of the
monotony of married life.-Van Dorn
once again takes to the Primrose
path and M caught in the arms of
his secretary. t
How destiny weaves around this
marriage of sorrow a drama that
touches the heights of human sacri
fice and devotion is vividly told in
this Dwan production. The role of
Laura is played with consummate
artistry by Mary Thurman, erst
while leading for William S. Hart.

' . The legitimate stage play of "Stop
.Thief." chief cinema attraction at the
Sun theater this week, is known to
all theater goers as a hilarious
comedy. '. - '
More funny things happen in the
48 hours within which the play is
s supposed to take place than would
be . thought humanly possible. Tom
Moore and Hazel Daly as the
thieves, disguised as maid and de
tective, enter the orderly house of
the; Carrs, where a wedding is pend
ing, and turn it into a chaos of con
fusion during which valuables dis
appear and reappear in the most un
explainable manner.
The accomplices are unconscious
ly aided in their scheming by old
Mr. Carr (Ed. McWade) and'the
bridegroom (Raymond Hatton),
who believe themselves the victims
of kleptomania. After the most un
believably absurd situations, , mat
ters adjust themselves, and the play
ends happily.

daughter of one of them, brought tip
in their midst and well accustomed
to -their reckless, unscrupulous
moods, and versed in their super
stitious, fatalistic lore.
Twelve Cents a Second.
' Twelve cents a second doesn't
sound like a big salary unless one
stops to figure it out. That's about
what Conway Tearle gets for being
a leading man for National Picture
theaters, a Selznick enterprise. And
at that, it is said Mr. Tearle is one
of the highest salaried leading men
in the country. Figuring out his
salary it amounts to $2,500 a week,
which isn't so bad, considering he
gets. many of his meals-thrown in.
Oh, yes, the moving picture banquet
is one of the many things that usual
ly isn't "staged."

Much Fuss Over '
Men May Spoil
'Emi Who Knows?
Almost as many husbands are
driven from home by wives who lav
ish too much attention on them' as
leave because their wives neglect
them. So believes Eva Novak, the
motion picture actress, who is star
ing in the latest Universals produc
tion, "Wanted at Headquarters." "
"Men were intended to be the ag
gressors in the battle of love," Miss
Novak said during an interview at
Universal 3ity, Cal., recently, "and
women were cast to play the defen
sive parts. Warriors, once they
have completely subdued their oppo
nents, are likely to seek other ad
versaries. So it is with husbands,
and the woman who has been wooed
and won and then displayed her love
by too frequent and flagrant fuss
and demonstration is apt to overdo
with disastrous results.
"Men like attention from women,
but' not too flagrant attention. My
advice to the wife is to be sane and
conservative in the treatment of her
husband." ,
Mary Pichford to
Appear In Another
"Kiddie" feature
Mary Pickford is to .appear, in an
other of the kid comedies for which
she is famous. It will be titled,
"Rag-Tag and Bob-Tail," and it will
go to the screen before Ktt current
production, "A Flame in the Dark."
Both stories were written by her di
rector, Frances Marion, u
"A Flame in the Dark" has an
Italian atmosphere and a lot of emot
ing in it. In the production Mary is
supported by a number of Italian ac
tors she brought from Italy when
she and her husband, Douglas Fair
banks, completed their honeymoon
tour of Europe, and in her desire to
be realistic she even goes so far as
to speak Italian lines when it is nec
essary to talk at all. "I've learned
enough of the languge to sing an
opera," says Mary.
The reason for the kid-comedy,
hibitors are of the opinion that a
"happy" picture should follow

Rice Shower for Dorothy.
Dorothy Phillips was showered
with rice and old shoes at the Oak
