Riverside Theatre

The Riverside Theatre management
announces that they are still showing
all the big Fox special productions and
making a great success with them. If
the patronage continues as good as it
has been so far these special features
will be shown indefinitely.
"A thoroughly consistent, wholly
pleasing story is told in "The Whip.;'
he worlds biggest motion picture,
which will be the attraction at the
Riverside next Monday evening. The
story deals with the intrigue which is
wound around a famous race horse
bearing the name of "The Whip"
Upon the question of "The Whip win
ming a great race depends the fortunes
of several people. A love affair also
hangs on the result of the race. When
several of the people who are betting
against the horse find that "The Whip"
is certain to win the race, they go to
great lengths to prevent the horse
from appearing on the track. But
their efforts fail. The horse makes
the race, but with the owners daugh-
ter as the jockey, in place of the
Jockey who had been selected to make
the race. All ends well.
