On the Screen
Cavalieri Is a Stunning Beauty
in Her Latest Film
Presentation

AT neither of the Rothapfel theatres
can the Feature" picture be said to be
the feature this week, for Mr.. Rothap-
fel is firm in his belief that people go
as much for what they hear as what
they see.
William Desmond is appearing in
THE Pretender" at the Rialto, and at
the Rivoli Lima Cavalieri is seen in "a
Woman Of Impulse"
In this picture there is young
woman named Corene Uzzell who plays
small part and yet manages to make
that part stand out in q remarkable
way. She is cast as Cleo. who is de-
scribed as being a "creole." and yet
they said that ain her veins ran the
blood of slaves and of royalty" "
Whatever she is, she engages the at
tention whenever she is on the screen,
and sometimes when she isn't
Nine. Cavaheri as La Vecci, the
woman of impulse IN the Anspacher
tale, is at all times thing of beauty.
but we can hardly finish the quotation,
for we have seen women Of far less
heart as Cavalieri never could do-at
least on the screen.
Raymond Bloomer is the jealous hns-
band, and Robert Cain is Philip, the
man whom two women stab.
Muratore is seen for q flash or two
playing Don Jose to - Nccci's Car
men. He was away back on the stage,
but the audience recognized him and
app 'auded. The film version was made
h,, Lt,n rat,, Il
rectcd by Eduard Jose.
Never in any theatre have we seen
such demonstration as attended the
showing of our troops in France. The
audience shouted and cheered, and
when the boys lined up before General
Pershing to have their hero medals
pinned on them every man in the house
sprang to his feet.
Instead OF the comedy there is a
Wo'fville story called "Rose of Wolf
vile" 1t is done in Alfred Henry
Lewis 5 best style.
A Van Levy picture is fitted with an
unusually beautiful orchestration.
What particularly impressed us at
the Rialto was tie overture. 1t was
the ever-popular civilian Tell"
After Hugo Reisenfeld had directed
the orchestra through the overture and
Victor Helhe1t's "Her Regiment" he
handed over the baton and prepared to
leave the stage, but remained to watch
that keystone comedy called "The
Great Vacuum Robbery" which has
been revived by popular request. Which
proves that a man may know all there
is to know Of music and still en.o
slapstick comedy.
Jeanne Coz don sings Godard's "Vi,
vandierc" in costume. Lorrie Grimaldi
sang "lnfeiice," from "Ernani"
William Desmond is one of those
screen heroes who can ride and shoot
amb;deXtrousIy, and rope people. and
make love all at the same time. His
new picture, "The Pretender," gives
hin, chance to do all Of these things.
The story tells of a cowboy bold,
Bob Baldwin, who could ride anything
with feuN legs, but who could not man
age something with four cylinders. A
little Ford proved his undoing.
This was, to our mind, the most in
teresting part of the picture. 1t was
so exciting to wonder whether Bob
would kill some of the cattle or only
cut off their legs as he steered madly
through the steers. You see, he at
tempted to ride Ford without curb
bit, and it ran away with him and
bucked and everything
SO Bob was fired from his job. His
boss said he didn't want him to punch
cows that way, and on his way to the
city he overlook a school teacher who
had broken his arm because he couldn't
stick on his horse.
Bob takes his place and teaches
school, though what he taught the chill
dren won dn't have been Of much use
to them east o. the Rockies Of course,
the real school teacher had a sister
named Dolly, ard Bob finally marries
Dolly
The young woman who played this
part reminded US all the time of Ruth
Find ey. the ingenue in "a Very Good
Young Man But it wasn't She Her
name was Ethel Fleming.
AT the Strand Charlie Chaplin is
seen in his new picture "Shoulder
Arms" There is also Gilbert Ander-
son picture called shooting Mad"
These will be reviewed later. H. U.
