Editor Every Evening. There has
been much said about parking ears
around Rodney Square. In the first

city that caused the old Court House

block on King to French streets and

and new city and county building 10
be erected at very large sum Of
money, bonds to be issued for which
the taxpayers must stand the burden.

paying as much county tax as / used

on the poor middle class.

CHARLIE CHAPLIN
 TRIUMPH THE KID
 STRAND $ OFFERING

Stop, look and listen! Charlie Chaplin, undoubtedly the greatest comedian who ever stepped before camera, co-starring with little Jack Coogan-the best known kid in all the world, in the famous six reels of joy-"The Kid" is the attraction at the Strand for three days starting this afternoon.
 ''The Kid'' Is the comedy which re- quired over a year to produce. It was written by Charlie Chaplin him. self-he personally directed it-at- tended to every detail of the filming and it discovered Jackie Coogan, who made his screen debut in this celebrated comedy classic.
 "The Kid' is distinctly in class all by itself There has never been a comedy produced that has attained marked off in film history-a record that is familiar to every man. woman and child in the whole United States.
 It represents the ambition of a life time on the part of Charlie Chaplin to produce a multiple reel comedy with decided plot-funny in it's com edy-sincere in it's humanness-logi- cal in it's reflection of life-and yet a comedy that would be remembered 1 for it's laugh, and it's real spirit of happiness.
 "The Kid" is a great production great from every angle--and 1t will prove a most enjoyable feature at the Strand during this engagement. That goes without saying.
 An added comedy-Mutt and Jeff and the Pathe News will augment the presentation of the master comedy.

BETTY COMPSOV IN LADIES MUST LIVE"
 FEATURE kT RIAL ID

Continuing with George Loane Fuckers production for Paramount, Ladies Must Live with Betty Compson as the star, the Rialto is presenting for today and tomorrow one of the biggest photoplay sensa- tions since his <ever-to-be-forgot triumph, "The Miracle Man. which is still one of the biggest and most solidly booked motion pictures be- fore the public.
 Ladies Must Live" is an artistic plishment-beauteou in the display of luxurious settings, gowns, costumes and effects-it is a soul stirring theme, deep in it's human note; it is powerful document, dar- ing in it's scope, amazing in it's &C., curacy, wondrous in it's faithful re- gard for natural environment, and tremendous in its hold upon the re- viewer Betty Compson's work in this feature displays the same ex- ceptional art that stamped her Rose in 'The Miracle Man" as one of the greatest impersonations the screen has ever known.
 The picture is adapted from Alice Duer Miller's novel of the same name, which originally appeared in the Saturday Evening Post.
 InOSe or the 1a1r- sex WnO preIer to be ladies rather than women, enchanting and fascinating in their realm of silks and luxury, bartering their smiles to the highest bidder, are the basis of the fascinating theme which George Loane Tucker has so wonderfully molded into a photoplay that is destined to be- come the same national sensation as was "The Miracle Man. He pre- sents in Christine a typical idle dar- ling-famihar in every city-angling, campaigning, subtly playing card here, pulling a string there, playing men for their. wealth, and getting away with it in great style-until another lady comes onto the scene and the battle is a two-sided affair. Then in the same household there is another specimen of femininity- the maid-and her life brings an inn portant bearing to the case.
 Ladies Must Live" is being pre- sented by a company of the most distinguished players, including be- sides Betty 0ompson, Beatrice Joy Mahlon Hamilton, Cleo Madison Marcia Mannon, Lucille Hutton, Har-
 dee Kirkland, Snitz Edwards, Jack l Gilbert, Robert Ellis and others ot equal note.
 A Mack Sennett comedy and the
 International News complete the pro- gram, which is being screened with
 out advance in prices.
