 | "PATRIA' SERIAL SCORES HEAVILY. While I have not been told I would lay small wager that the Rialto smashed all of it's attendance records yesterday The first episode of Mrs Vernon Castle S serial was shown. If the other 14 meas ure up to the initial chapter, and they do, the Rialto has arrived for If weeks at least. "Patria' is the greatest of all the pre- paredness picture plays presented to date More money has been spent on this pro- auction, from indictions. than all the balance combined, and the opinion of all criticis is that it is the greatest.
 Patria will be shown at the Rialto today and tomorrow.
