POLI's.

This is good news for the kiddies, as
well as grown-ups. Thurston, the
magician. Will hold forth all week at
Polls with a Pandora's box OF tricks,
most OF which are new and far more
elaborate than any staged here in
years past
The theater was packed with
youngsters and older ..oIk last night
and sometimes the stage was over
flowed, for when the master-magician
called for volunteers to assist him,
far more than were needed stepped
forward.
Many of the tricks are new and
more mystifying than ever. OF
course, barring the fact that Thurston
is liable to find a rabbit in ones watch
pocket or a soft-boiled egg just be-
hind the southern extremity of ones
ear. there isn't any danger to the
audience. However, a duck and a
rooster had a most fatal experience.
After wringing the head of each and
placing the bodies in a box, they were
But the rooster had on the head Of
the duck and the duck possessed the
top piece of the rooster.
In one instance Thurston dressed a
doll. There was no question about
il being a doll. Anyone could see
that But when IL suddenly came to
life right before ones eyes. ii wasn't
a doll at all. IT was a human being.
l. And then came the famous levita-
tion trick A girl remains suspended
in mid-air for many minutes. Some
thing is holding her there above the
stage. What is n? The audience
or a part OF it's invited to stand
by the figure while the magician
passes a hoop about her. Nothing is
holding her suspended. You might
almost swear to IL in court, IL you
weren't a careful man.
The transfer of an assistant from
a chest, securely locked, into a chest
filled with water is another mystify-
ing trick. And one transfer was
made from the stage to an upper-ticr
box. while the person in the box as
suddenly appears on the stage, hav-
ing exchanged places in the wink
of an eye.
Other remarkable stunts were the
spirit revelations. wherein a handker-
chief, apparently possessed of no un-
usual attributes, dances about the
stage in most animated fashion; the

10000 MINISTERS

RIALTO.

This weeks bill at the Rialto, II
anything. surpasses that of the inaug-
ural week. The feature of the pro-
gram which makes the most immedi-
ate appeal to the risibilities OF the
amusement seeker is shoulder
Arms" in which the remarkable CEN
trail role is, assumed by the serene Mr..
Chaplin. So perfectly has the mil
lion-dollar comedian hit off the fea-
lures of modern warfare that lend
themselves to good-natured travesty
that shoulder Arms" must at once be
comedies uss greatest burlesque. 'The
scenes In which Mr.. Chaplin combats
the perplsxing problems with which
the awkward squad finds itself con-
fronted and those in the dugout on
the firing line, not to mention the
contamination of an inspired scheme
for the capture of the German high
command, are gems of comedy that
only a genius in pantomime could
conceive.
OF extraordinary timeliness are the
complete pictures of the surrender of
the German grand fleet to the allied
powers. This supreme event in his
tory by its very nature presented a
panorama of colossal magnitude. OF
which the camera by good fortune
caught the salient features.
In lighter vein is the five-reel add
ed film attraction, "Wives and Other
Wives" in which the leading role is
chaTmingIy portrayed upon the screen
by Mary Miles Minter.
Again superior musical intervals
form an attractive portion of the en-
tertainment, the magnificent Rialto
orchestra, Daniel Breeskin conductor,
rendering the Raymond Overture" in
faultless fashion and the RiaIto Phil

and cellO-winning storms of ap-
plause.

Safeguarding villain who stoops to

Thomas Santschi, as Jack Manly,
the fireman, displays a splendid abiI-

realism in his portrayal that at once

Manly's sweetheart, took up a very
important part with complete success.
The real value OF the film produc-
