And fellows, when the dear sweet

and the surprising part of the affair
was that the young fellow was really
honest and truly in love, and TO
prove it, he started to tell his lady
love how much more he loved her
than the other girls whose photos she
comes across in his pockets, empha-
sizing his ardor by contrasts, and
here is where he made the great mis-
take. He talked too much. and this
girl listened very attentively.
When there appeared on the scene
a girl-pretty one too-whom the lad
had told the lassie was in Africa,
when the newcomer exhibited quite a
fancy for the young chap. when his
best friend endeavored to smooth out
the affair, and only made matters
worse-but then it's a comedy of lads
and lassies of youth and romance and
love-told in most brilliant fashion,
wonderfully appointed, carefully di-
rected, guaranteed entertainment
value. one that right now is running
at Grauman's in Los Angeles from
whence come the most flattering re-
ports on the picture.

prices and is urging attendance dur

ADJUSTMENTS
LIONEL BARRYMORE
IN LATEST TRIUMPH
IS At THE R|ALTO

Lionel Barrymore opens two-days
engagement at the Rialto today, pre-
sentlng his latest First National
emotional triumph, The Devils
Garden,
The story, a strong and powerful
one, has been cited as perhaps the
most difficult emotional role ever
enacted before the camera by a male
star, and at once verifies the opinion
or the reviewers who stamp Lionel
Barrymore as Americas greatest
actor.
The Devils Garden" is based on
w. B. Maxwelfs sensational novel Of
the same name, and takes it's theme
from the question of the predatory
love instincts of man versus the die
tateS of modern civilization, which
demands one woman to one man.
Is man satisfied with the law of
modern times; is he forever fighting
the inclination to unleash the print
tive instincts; is fealty to one woman
his from natural choice, or from the
pressure brought to bear on him
through the advance of time?
The story is sensational, it is dar-
ing and bold, but it is convincing and
conveys Y powerful lesson. 1t is the
plot of the Pharisee and the Mag
dalen, enacted by a wonderful cast
of players, filmed with full regard
for the greatest expression of the
text of the book, and as such, ranks
as one of the outstanding emotional
documents Of the present era of
screendom.
Barrymore's role is that of a strong
man, possessed of a violent temper
and strong passion. He has risen to
his position of influence in the com
munity solely through the force CT
his mentality directed along ambi-
tious lines, and when the story gets
under way he has married Mavis, the
girl whom he has long loved. His
temper gets him into trouble, and it
is Mavis who sacrifices herself to
save him from ruin and disgrace.
His discovery of the price the wife
paid lets loose the worst of his ter
rible anger, and he seeks out and
kills the man in the case, covering
his crime by a clever alibi. He has
never forgiven the misstep of the
wife, he fails to see the act through
the eyes of sacrifice, and while re-
Cancellation is effected between the
couple the husband has never for
gotten-is never willing to forgive
and forget.
In later years he finds himself con-
fronted with the same temptation he
would not condone in the wife, with
no element of sacrifice entering into
the case. He was condemning for a
crime he did not feel himself able to
resist when the test came. His work
ing out the battle with self. his con-
sequent finding an answer to the
problem. and the startling climax UNI
folding in the final chapters of the
story all go to make it perhaps the
greatest picture of the stars entire
career.
This program will be given Satur-
day to the opening of the engagement
of Don't Tell Everything" the Para
mount comedy success starring Wal
lace Reid, Gloria Swanson and Elliott
Dexter.

"A Trip to Paradise"-strand


Bert Lyteu finishes his engagement
at the Strand with the final screen
ings today of his Metro comedy
drama, "A Trip to Paradise" Unique
and novel in treatment. "A Trip 70
Paradise" might well be termed a
love story of Coney Island, as it is
against the background of this ia
nous resort that most of the action
unfolds. 1t presents Lytell in the role
of a barker at one of the conceS-
sions. He meets and marries Nora
O'Brien, a pretty Irish lass, who
Sdrifted into his life. Curley Flynn
(Lytell) was never serious in his life,
and his marriage to Nora was a huge
joke, during the honeymoon, but then
the tide turned. Curley lost his job
and the seriousness of the situation
dawned on him. He grew surly and
''sour" and when the owner of the
concession at Coney tempted him 10

the glare of the beach, he was about
to accept. Nora proved the answer
to the problem, when she advised
