The feature picture at the Rialto.
Sinners Dress Suit, is one OF the
rss, amusing and eleverly acted screen
,onedes seen this season. Bryant
wsshburn proved capable of interpret
Ing the subtlest kind of humor, and he
all certainly add to his laurels by his
portrayal Of Skinner. the down-trodden
clerk, who realizes that "nothi1g sue
sesds like success" Hazel DAILY, who Is
Honey, his wife. is also excellent.
Both she and Washburn act just like
real people who are compelled to live
On $40 a week when they would like 10
ysnd three times that amount. How
;hsy finally do just that and how they
Immediately acquire the coveted wealth
. told in a series OF entertaining pict-
Wss and clever titles. The titles are
,oi the least attractive feature Of the
Nay.
The story tells of Skinner and his
NE, who lived in a suburb OF New
fork, where every one went 10 busl-
tas on the 1880 local. Skinner was
allied "the cage man" in the firm OF
Mclaughlin & Co. where he was
nokkeeper, and that was all the at
l,niion they paid 20 him. In the eyes
Honey. however, ne was the largest
lsr. Of the firm, and she finally IN
aseed him 10 ask for raise. TINS re-
gsstt was refused, and rather than dis-
pPoint Honey he tells her that his
sfry has been increased $40, and re-
'Tss to draw out the amount from MS
\ 'snk account and add IT TO his salary.
ANGST amusing bit Of business Is in
feasesd here. when Skinner, ate.
cling this odious lie, winks at the por--
nat OF George Washington on the wall
ID George solemnly returns the wink.
Nnr this matters progress rapidly.
Y. SINNERS invest the money IN new
.o'hss and become social lights, and
snaliy Skinner is sent on an important
spslon 70 ST. Paul, where he brings
AK 10 the fold a reca!citrant erst-
ssils customer.
lhe outcome OF this unprecedented
.ei9ry is beyond even Mrs. SINNERS
'hdest dreams, and Skinner says that
e owes IL all 20 mis- dress suit, which
s used TO take out OF the wardrobe
20 abuse frightfully when ne was
Nsftome with the enormi:y Of his eX'
arrogance.
