EYES OF THE WORLD"
COMING TO RIAITO

Readers of Harold Bell Wrights great
est novel, The Eyes of the World" will
be interested in the fact that it has been
translated into magnificent motion pic
ture. The new production is to be shown
in this city for the first time at the
Rialto theatre for one week only, begin
ming next Monday.
Few stories of the times offer greater
scope for such work. In the matter
of scenic beauty, the San Bernardino
mountains, the locale of so much of the
romance, could not but inspire the pro-
ducers. As for characterization, the
actors have wonderful opportunities in
the portrayal of the widely dissimilar
characters who figure in The Eyes of
the World
There is the burnt-out bestialized
rogue, Mr.. Taine, wrecked by his own
excuses, a pitiable apology for manhood
There is the young and voluptuous wife
of Taine, a siren polished in manner and
sinister in purpose
There is Conrad LeGrange. the cynical
story-wTiter, who confesses that he
"haunts the intellectual slaughter pens
for material for his Successful" stories.
There is the young artist. Aaron King,
ambitious fer fame. who is on the point
OF debasing his talents forl an easy way
to success.
