NAZ|MOVA, STAR IN
 CAMILLE" IS AT THE RIA[TO TODAY

The Rialto is bound to prove the mecca for theatergoers during the four days engagement of the trem- endous double program they will of fer starting today.
 The bill leads off with Nazimova, conceded the greatest emotional act ress on the screen or stage today, supported by Rudolph Valentino, re- cognized as the screens greatest lover, and the player who scored such a pronounced national hit in his registration of "The Sheik" and Julio in The Four Horsemen," both appearing in a magnificently modern version of Dumas immortal love classic, Camille"
 The production. elaborately set and gorgeously gowned is the last word in excellence. In every phase of the production the unusual has been achieved. Nazimova in the title role registers her supreme triumph. As the woman of moods, notorious am ong the boulevardiers of Paris, the toast of the town, she gives start ling portraiture. And equally effect i've is she as the woman regenerated through love, throwing into the af- lection she bears for Arrnad all the devotion, sacrifice and feeling that woman could have for man. It is a drama of contrasts, always engross- ing, always appealing. always fas- cinating. a perfect portrayal by a perfect actress. And no matter how many times one has seen the classic, no matter whom one has seen in the title role, it is a safe statement that one has never sec n a more enthrall- ing imperSonation or rendition of the | renowned character than the one Ma ! Zimova brings to the screen in this production. Dressing the production in the ultimate of modern settings and gowns.

\ POOR RELATION
 WITH WILL ROGERS
 AT COLUMBIA TODAY

Will Rogers famous picture, "A Poor Relation.' which opens a three day engagement at Mauk's Colupbia theater today. is one of the finest things the homely favorite has done.
 Adapted from the famous stage play by Edward Kidder, in which Sol Smith Russell played the stellar role of Noah Vale" "A Poor Relation" tells a story both pathetic and hu- morous, and affords Will Rogers one O. those quaint character parts ii which he is so much at home. The story concern the adventures that be- fall Noah Vale, the shabby, lovable old inventor. who shared a tiny attic with two orphan children he had picked up out of the gutters. Noah's lifetime ambition is centered in an invention he has slaved to perfect. In the meantime he tries to keep Rip and Patch and himself in clothes and food by peddling books from door to door. His efforts are so unsuccess- ful that they would all have starved had it not been for Scallops, nonde- script girl neighbor who brought them scraps of food whenever she could.
 Vale appeals to a distant wealthy relative named Fay for aid in putting his invention on the market, and arouses the active interest of Fay's pretty daughter. Sterrett, Fay's part
 ner, steals the model of Vale's inve?- ton. thinking there is great for
 tune in it, but when the firms engin- eers report that it is worthless, he returns it and demands back the $10C which he had given Noah as part sal lary to go to England as the firms representative.
 Young Johnny Smith, secretary tc Fay, gets fired because he proposed to the boss daughter. While he is seeking a job that will bring him enough money so that he and Miss Fay can marry, he visits Vales at- tic and finds some comfort in the philosophic aphorisms which Vale has written from time to tiIne to pre- vent himself from getting entirely discouraged.
 He takes the epigrams to a news paper editor and they make such a hit that both Smith and Vale are given jobs. Vale finds that he can make enough money writing to care fol Rip and Patch and gives up invent l ing. And Johnny prospers so that he | finally marries his sweetheart de- spite her fathers objections. 1 A Hall Room boys comedy, a Fore

TRACED TO GAME OF TENNIS
Origin of Common Phrase, "From Pill
lar to Post" Believed to Have
Been Solved.

To tennis we owe the phrase ITO
drive from pillar to post" though its
exact meaning has not been traced,
Ernest Weekly writes in the Cornhill
Magazine, London. The allusion is to
the driving of the tennis ball, and the
earlier order, found in Lydgate, was
"frnm post to pillar" This was invert-
ed to facilitate the stock rhyme with
tossed" In the old play "Liberality
and Prodigality" (16O2), character
is described as
Every minute tost,
Like a tennis ball, from pillar to post.
III John Marston's comedy "What
You WILL" the phrase is used of bat
tletlore and shuttlecock, the context
suggesting that the "pillar' and "post"
were names given to the two ends
of the court. The following explana-
ton has occurred to me as possible.
It is known that modern games have
