LIONEL BARRYMORE COMES
 IN SPLENDID COMEDY

His Fathers Son. Is Lionel Barry more's latest showing at the Rialto to- day. It is a typical Barrymore comedy, which means that it is mirthful without the slapstick.
 J. Dabney Barron, as the profligate son of square jawed business man, hadn't shown much class either at college or after. So his wise old dad made him a bet one day that he couldn't earn s60 month The son landed job as butler in the home of his bitterest enemy and immediately fell in love with the daughter of the household. And ludicrous sltua- tons and complications abound without number.
 His Fathers Son. is one of the best photoplays showing today.

fought gamely. When the bull charg

A great gray tank, filled with SOL

from a giant motor-you can almost
hear the ear-splitting noise of the eX-

That was vivid impression.
A company of Morvians is waiting
"to go over the top" You can see
them nervously playing with their
bayonets-it is the hardest period in
the whole days work, they say, the

From this belt line supplies OF all

short of canvas, it is probably that
at the last minute rough cantonment
buildings will be constructed.
There is a plan on foot to do all
the camp cooking with gas. This in
novation will be watched with much
interest, as it has never been used in
large camps before. AS a matter OF
dollars and cents, it will prove
cheaper than wood or coal. Water
will be piped through every company

be lighted by electricity.
Thousands of acres of rolling coun-
try behind the camp will afford a
chance for every kind of battle prac-

get it, for it is to be a case OF hard,
intensive training from the moment
each unit reports.
The main camp will have its own
telegraph, postoffice and telephone
exchange.

Mr. Butler made a short talk with
reference to the proposed permanent
organization of a choral society. He
was convinced such a thing was en-
tirely feasible; indeed that its feas-
ability was fully demonstrated by the
Festival just held. His idea was that
such an organization could profitably
give at least two public entertain
ments annually-One indoors in mid
winter, and another each fall, on the
order of the Festival. 1t does not ap-
pear that Mr. Butler said this: but it
is certain, just the same, that if the
singers of the county have enough
public spirit and interest in music to
effect such an organization, they can
secure his leadership, if desired.
The major part of the evening was
of social character. Light refresh
ments were served, several musical
numbers were given and Mr.. Butler
was called upon for some darkey
stories which he gave in his inimita-
