In the Movie World

The latest Moving Picture World
says of the four Metro Drew coined
les in january:
ellis First Love-" another January
release of the Metro-Drew comedies,
is a story based on suggestion of
BERTHE Badger Meyers. This comedy,
which is scheduled to be shown on the
21st, deals with that question which
has been asked so often by wives Of
their bubbles, Gam I the only women
you ever loved and asked to marry
you ?" Of course, Henry answers,
sfYes, my darling" but he has his own
doubts of the truthfulness Of the
statement. In the end WHEY convinces
him that she believes him and then
he decides to believe it himself.
The World gives q column and q
half on the notable opening Of Rivoli,
New York's newest picture palace, In
which they say that the description in
the World of Jan. 5th did scant JUS
tice to the beauties that met the eye
on every hand. The program was de-
layed somewhat to give the guests a
chance to feast their eyes upon the
architectural beauties of the interior
for while the Rialto was revelation
and the Strand wonder, they are
surpassed by the Rivoli, which is con-
sidered about the last word in picture
theater construction.
Mr.. Rothapfel, the manager and the
man who inspired the creation, receiv-
| ed hundreds of kilograms of congrat-
ulations from New York patrons and
admiring friends sent beautiful flow
ers which were scattered in profusion
around the Hobbies.
To the disappointment of hundreds
who would have paid several prices Of
admission, the opening was an invita-
ton affair. The house was packed
and as many stood as the law allowed
The guests of honor were Col. w
M. House and Mrs. House, who occu-
pied the presidents box with Presi-
dent Mezes and Mr.. and Mrs. David
Miller. The following were among the
many noted guests: Mr.. and Mrs. Sid
Iney Drew, Mayor J. P. Mitchell, John
Nice ormack, Irwin Cobb. James Mont
gomery Flagg, Capt. Rupert Hughes,
Charles Dana Gibson, Miss Gail Kane
Victor Hubert, Mr.. and Mrs. Florenz
Ziegield, Madame Algo Petrova, Jes-
sc Lasky and hundreds of other pie
ture makers and directors.
Among the numbers was the Metro
comedy, "Her First Love-" starring
the Drews. The World says: at is one
of the most amusing pictures OF their
screen careers. There is a point and
tone to this release that places il
among the best comedy pictures OF
the silent stage
DR.. and Mrs. E. G. Lindner, Miss
Doris Murray and Mr.. Edward Tucker
