trumpeted in the air that 1.-THE Rose
Of the Rancho David Belasco's
greatest success, which is the bill at
the Iris Monday and Tuesday. is a
production far in advance of the
Paramount features SO far presented.
In addition to this unusual play, the
Iris will have the Yale-Harvard foot
ball battle, with closeup scenes of the
contestants as we'll as the complete
battle with all its scenes. "Wednesday
and Thursday the bill will be after
the Ball" The general approval with
which this feature has been received
and the phenomenal way in which it
has been signed up for return show
ings is proof of the fact that the film
is to be as popular as the famous old
song on which it is based. Friday
