The fact that he does accomplish
remarkable results is handled in a

turn of the story brings forth the
character strength of Jimmy which

shown his usual versatility in this
production. and the vehicle is we'll

Moore's Rlalto-'"Thc Prosteer.,,

The Profiteers," Fannie Wards
latest emotional screen drama,
opens at Moore's RiaIto Theater to-
day for a full week run. When
Ouida Bergree, the author, wrote
the story and scenario it is evident
that she made a most careful study
of her subject; it is also reported
that Miss Bergere knew even more
thoroughly the needs OF the star
and the stars capabilities in reach
ing and sustaining the highest de-
gree of dramatic intensity.
This dramatic narrative, breath
ing at the beginning an atmosphere
of love. happiness and thorough
contentment. moves swiftly on to
grim and menacing development,
shaped with fiendish thoroughness
and ~, nuity, that fairly grips
the behoto"r. 1t is an up-to-the-
minute play, dealing with matters
of present-ddy moment and though
ii has the large application of its
title and this thesis is efectualIy
dealt with. it is. nevertheless, a
big, commanding wOmans play.
The Profitecrs" has to do with
the working of powerful, unscrupu-
lous forces, devoid OF the least feel
ing of patriotism; a cold heartless
ambition that constantly reached for
power and gain; the forces of right
which find expression in one cour-
aCeous man and the hideous con-
spiracy that strikes at him through
his beautiful young wife.
Unusual short subjects surround
the chief attraction, such as the
RiaIto News a TIOyd comedy 10

addition. the Rialto Symphony Or.

ture together with a violin solo
