Forest Park

"A Night in Chinatown" is announced by ToftS Country club at Forest Park for next Saturday evening, Septem Der 20. Quaint orientalism will pervade the big ballroom, which will be resplendent in gay Chinese decorations. Colored lanterns will cast a dreamy glow over the dancers and music typical of the far eastern countries will be played by that talented bunch, Toft's Novelty orches- tra. Throughout the evening, too, lucky spot dances for Chinese favors will be introduced into the regular pro gram.
 The event will be the first of a series of special nights with which the Tofts are planning to entertain this season and for which George Collins, who has come over from Baron Long's enter prise in California to take charge of the Country club, has some very inter esting plans.
 There is dancing at the club every night of the week and no admission is charged except on Saturday and Sun day nights.

of the island, where in centuries
gone by Romanus ", emperor of
the Romans, Michael I, and the
great Bardanes, dwelt in disgrace,
there are today several hundreu
Russian exiles, stricken with typhus

They were landed here two months

Moorc's RiaIto-"Going Some

Fun with punch and comedy
with strong dramatic action is what
Rex Beach gives his audience in his
latest Goldwyn release, Going
Some" presented at Moore's Rialto
Theater yesterday. the showing to
continue throughout the week.
Founded on his famous stage and
book success, the production en-
bodies all of the strong features OF
both. Being a Rex Beach produc-
ton, it has thrills but not the kind
of thrills we have grown accus-
toned to expect from this author.
1t is a genuinely interesting comedy
romance, with scenes laid in the
great Southwest, as far from Mr.
Beach's usual >frozen North locale
as one could possibly imagine.
The story concerns a college ten
derfoot from the East, who is taken,
at his own boast as a champion
sprinter, by a lot of cowboys and
compelled to race a sprinting cham
pion. He has to make good or lose
his girl. And he wins. How he wins
is the fun of the thing. Actually
the hero was a tortoise on the run
ming track but he had made his
boast, the cowboys were depending
on him to retrieve money they had
lost to the sprinting- ex-army ath-
lete and they had grown suspicious.
He stood to lose not only girl, but
life and fortune. All in all there is
series of entanglements that
would do justice to a Hoyt comedy
and they are Strengthened out Just
as cleverly Incidentally there are
lot of fine types in the picture.

clean-cut characters, depicted by an
exceptionally strong and we'll bal

Added attractions and subsidiary
features rival the main subject in

among which is the exclusive show
ing in the city of the pictures taken
on the recent Knights of Columbus
excursion. The Great Wall of
China" with an interpretative Or

hit of the bill. Coupled with this is
showing of the spectacular riding
of a troop of Portuguese cavalry,
entitled Modern Centaurs," a most
