R1ALT0-"A Daughter Of Two
Worlds"

Rudyard Kipling once wrote some
thing about the similarity OF the love
of 'the colonels lady and Judy
OGrady," but 1t was accepted by most
people as more or less of q poetical
fancy. Norma Talmadge, pictured in
"A Daughter of Two Worlds" an
adaptation Of the novel by Leroy
Scott. and featured yesterday at
Moore's Rialto Theater. demonstrated
that Mr.. Kipling was the discoverer
Of a profound truth.
Jennie Malone. daughter Of a no.
torious New York thugster. through
the guidance of a confidence man. be.
comes a popular debutante IN exclu--
sive society. At first she is immoral
and uncultured. then she has the ad-
vantage Of training OF a rich girls
school and becomes a favorite in the
social world. Then upon finding her
self again the daughter of a dive
keeper, finally, by honesty, she wins
love that Is worthy and regains an
even higher social position.
The story is swift in action, and Is
marked by beauty OF setting and
gowns displayed. 1t is also well acted
to orchestral accompaniment.

Iheater last night after New York

adipose comedian of Canary Cot
tage. heads the cast. with a valuable
assistant in Margaret Dumont. TO
Mr.. Corthell. however. must go the
credit of steering the show into
waters ripping with peaceful mirth-
fulness and out of the storm. An
important scene of its action is
boarding house with a heterogeneous
patronage. Some of it's songs are
beautiful. even whistleable, and
Theodora Warfield sings them charm
lngly. The Gosman Sisters contribute
dancing feature which is attractive,
but. after all, the snap and go Of the
production are furnished by the mo-
tive power of Mr. Corthell, who sup
plies all the laughter.
