''PECK'S BAD bOY,"
 R|ALTO THIS WEEK.
Jackie Coogan Again Tri- umphs In Return En-
 gagement

The inimitable Jackie Coogan tri- umphs again on the local screen in his return engagement of "Peck's Bad Boy" now at the Rialto.
 Tho 6-year-old youngster demon- strates in this latest production that he is born actor and that he we'll merits the distinction of being starred in spite of his extreme youth.
 As "Peck's Bay Boy" Jackie Is. to the life, the mischlevous youngster who gets into varied assortment of boyish scrapes. His ingenious scheme to see the circus. his playfulness which results in the escape of a lion, the uproar he causes In church by Introducing novelty In tho way of several hundred ants which take a liking to his father, and the part he plays in a love affair are some of the high lights in this delightfully."- re- freshing photoplay. The subtitles, which were written by Irwin S. Cobb, are delicious in their humor, the pho tography Is excellent, and the work of the cast aomirable.
 Doris May plays the role of the Girl in the Case, while Wheeler Oak man portrays the Man. James Corri- gan is seen as Mir. Peck and Lillian Leighton as Mrs. Peck.

stupendous story, but with a simplic- ity that makes 1t understandable to the mind of child. It Is the story of the most tragic years of the south and of love affair, or rather two affairs, that flourished in that bit ter time. The sufferings, the trials of courage, the manhood and the womanhood of those years make a deep appeal to the spectator to whom those terrible years have become only q vague haze of blue and grey and large, dainty, ruffled. hooped dresses of the time. The romance of time gone by and of ideals forgotten now are present in a production that brings those times to life with tho fidelity of an eye witness.
 A splendid programme Is played with this picture by a special or chestra.

Fulfilling the prophecy Of the longer

FIRST attention OF the Partisan design
ers. These frocks are made on redin-
cote lines.
A smart method Of applying a iow-
q to q hat Is TO put a big one on
the very edge Of q wide brim, fas-
tening It securely and pulling some
Of the pearls over, some under the
brim.
Flowers Of silver tissue give an
interesting note to q black lace eve
hing frOck. They are sold as eOrsage
lowers, and may be used to give a
nit Of freshness to q frock that Is
q use.
Some Of the most effective Of the
redingOte dresses are carried out in
dark taffeta over an organdie fOundA-
ton. A charming model Of this kind
had wide cuffs, huge collar and fOun-
dalton Of pale gray organdie, while
the redingote itself was made Of dark
blue taffeta.
The kimono' sleeve Is now more
than ever in favor. But the 1921
kimono wishes a new Interpretation
Of its own style and, instead OF being
exceedingly wide under the arm, is
quite snug. Quite a hard task for the
home dressmaker, but decidedly chic
and stylish.
Capes are made Of oblongs Of silk
fabrics Of some sort, bordered along
one long and two short edges with
fringe as wide as the cape itself.
This is really a cross between q cape
and a scarf, for II is wrapped about
the shoulders, one long. unfringed
