other lover, Jimmie Mcbride. He
walked on the screen looking about
eighteen years old, with wavy hair and
dimple in his chin and all of the
other juvenile-lead attributes.
Percy Haswell interested US, too, not
so much for what she does in this
picture as for what she has done in
amusing picture.
On the programme are also a Mack
Sennett comedy, when Love Is Blind"
and the Strand Topical Review.
The overture is taken from Victor

1t is comedy week at the Rialto, and
Hugo Resented has made a wise Sc

every one Will remember it because it
Is Of such recent vintage. More re-

Last OF the Saxons," and it is the best
one we ever have seen of Mr.. and Mrs

Marguerite Clark in Come Out of
the Kitchen is the feature. The
scenario is by Alice Beranger, and we
liked 1t better than when we saw it in
ITS stage form, possibly because we
like Marguerite Clark better than we
did Ruth Chatterton.
Another pleasant feature of the pict-

The overature LIS "The Merry Wives of
Windsor" that delightful opera, which
