prices will keep advancing il wages 60

AT THE RIALTO.

Country girls are often thought of
and pictured as stupid and ignorant Of
the conditions Of the world But you
will find often upon investigation that
they have more dreams Of romance and
bcauX than any city girl with all of the
bright lights at her disposal.
Once upon a time. there was a Young
girl who bore the name OF Johanna
Renssaller and she lived in the cOun-
try. To her the supremest Of supreme
happiness was the having Of beau
md the only one she had ever seen was
1 brakeman whom she termed beau
Hful" and whom she had seen about a
minute. but she was able to weave ne
most cxtravagant dreams about him
md still long for more.
This is the kind Of a girl Mary Picbl
ord appears as in her picture "Jo-
lanna Enlists' which is TO be at the
3islto today and tomorrow. No one
has the unique and natural knSck and
skil Of poriraying country girls as
Mary Pickford has. and Johanna is one
# her most humorous and delightful
ypes.
Miss Pickford is supported by three
prominent players including Douglo.
