 As a feature of the entertainment the management has secured an un- usually strong drama, His Broth CTS Keeper" This is one of the most virile photoplays of the year and is ably portrayed by an all star cast. Rogers Lytton is very convincing as the railroad president who by hypnot- ic influence causes to young man to kill his employer. The way the tangle is unraveled and the mental murderer brought to justice is very well worked out and nothing but praise can be said of the finn from every angle.

 "Curley Flynn (Bert LytelD is a likeable chap, his personality is won-l derful, his general air of the happy go-lucky fellow around an amuse- ment park is a great stock in trade for him in his 'sprofession." And so when he meets Nora O'Brien, makes violent love to her. and keeps her out on the beach so late that she fears to go home, it is nothing but what one would expect when .Curley proposes marriage and is accepted. Reckless in love as in everything else, Curley has bargained without any thought of the responsibility, and when the widow Roland discharges him and he is unable to find a job, he grows to be a cynical, sour" indi- vidual. The widow sees her chance, she begs Curely to give up Nora and come back to the "trip to paradise As Curley is about to leave with the widow, Nora, her face abea4n with happiness, whispers to him the great news she is about to become mother.
 Nora's great tenderness, the won der of it all, sobered Curley to his responsibility and anxiety for his wife and the coming child forced him to desperation. He engages in scheme with a pal to rob safe, but the robbery proves a fiasco and Cur ley is shot and taken to the hospital. It Is under the anaesthetic that he makes his real trip to Paradise-he is summoned to the Heavenly court, the court findings and the sentence prov ing the material for the wonderfully appealing sequence which marks the climax of the story.
 Of course the scenic display incl dent to the Coney Island action is most interesting event in the wit messing of the picture and this, cou- pied with the acting of Lyten and his sterling supporting cast augurs for "A Trip to Paradise" being one of the most appreciated offerings at the Strand so far this season.

The EroIic

The doughnut dance. Nothing an nounced recently in a local dancing palace has aroused any more interest than the doughnut dance scheduled for the Frolic on next Monday eve ming. The idea is entirely original and comes from the old game of the knights errant who met in tourna- ment titlts to try their skill with the little rings and the long spears. The doughnut dance is fashioned for the sole purpose of furnishing a lot of fun for the contestants and at the same time to afford plenty of amuse- ment for those who look on. F. s.

 6STORY IF MARRIED LIFE; AT HE RIA[TO

Coming direct from It's engagement at Grauman's million dollar theater im Los Angeles, the Rialto announces for today and tomorrow, David Pow cirs latest Paramount starring ve- hicle, Dangerous Lies.' The story is a very interesting slice of married life. written by E. Phillips Oppen- helm. and finds David Powell in what has been adjudged his greatest pie ture since his never to- be forgotten betrayal opposite Mae Murray in ''On With the Dance"
 The theme of the picture reveals the pitfalls of evading the truth in married life and shows with start ling accuracy not only the folly of the course, but the danger to hap piuess. As the story stateS-there are two kinds of lies-one a delibe- rate falsehood, and the other-the most dangerous-the evading of the truth through a dissembling attitude.
 The central characters are a rector of a small English parish, and his two daughters. The one daughter, Joan. is loved by Leonard Pierce. a London man. Meeting with coldness on the part of the girl he conceives the diaboIical scheme of having the old rector invest in some recurities, breaking him, and thus forcing the girl into the loveless marriage. AL though warned by Olive, loans sis ter. the old fellow makes the plunge, the scheme works and the financial crash kills the father leaving the two girls to battel life alone On the day of the wedding Olive learns the plot of Pierce and accuses him when Pierce flees to Africa. Sir Henry Bond is attracted toward Joan who find employment in his London headquarters, and when he proposes marriage Joan will not tell him she is already a wife. and ac- cepts The news of the death of Pierce seems to clear the horizon, but Pierce is not dead, his return to ,l-ondon darkens the horizon, and farms the basis for the thrilling sac- tlph which is unfolded in the ensuing chapters of the gripping story. It is a very cleverly written drama, pow erful in theme and message, and should prove a very pleasing engage knent during its run at the Rialto.

BUSINESS VOLUME
 WAS DIMINISHED
 IN COTTON MARKET
General Staple List Closed Steady at a Net Decline of Thirteen to Forty-three
 Points on the Day
By Associated Press

New York, September 29.-A di minishing volume of business was accompanied by narrower but ner- vousness and irregular fluctuations in the cotton market today with prices showing a tendency to work lower under hedge selling and real izing for over the approaching gov er1r1ent report. December contracts sold at 21.05c early but broke to 20.70c and closed at 20.S7c with the general market closing steady at net decline of 13 to 43 points.
 The opening was steady at a de- cline of to 24 points. Liverpool was better than due and private cables reported continued good trade de- mand owing to bullish crop advices. Yesterdays report of a good spot demand in the south seemed to be confirmed by the large sales off cially reported in the leading spot markets and advices from the local goods market were considered more encouraging as they indicated an in- creased volume of business.
 These features however were off set by heavier hedge selling by the south and more or less general disposition to secure profits on long contracts in advance of the govern ment report. There was further trade buylng which held the reac- tions in check and caused rallies from time to time during the middle of the day, but the hedge selling was more active while commission house demand seemed to be tapering off and active months eventually sold about 2T to 40 points net lower with October touching 20.65c and January 20.50c. The close was a few points up from the lowest on covering.
 Another private report was issued by local authority placing the crop condition at 40 and one of the south ern authorities which published a re- port of 42 last week revised it to 4l. These figures were without much influence on the market be- ing about in line with expectations as revealed by a canvass of ex change members which showed an average expectation of 40.4, com pared with last months official re- port of 49.3.
 Rumors that good part of the
 cotton reported by Tuesdays mo- uces would be shipped out by Jan aneso interests helped the occasionl rallies, ana there was also some buying on the large exports for the day.

NEW YORK COTTON
NEW ORLEANS COTTON By AssoctotaJ p~~


 NeW Orleans, September 29.---It was a session of small declines in the cotton market today, mainly as the result of hedge selling arising from the large spot transactions of yesterday. More or less liquidation came from the long side and offer ings for short account were stimu- lated by the trend of the market and also by reports of somewhat freer spot offerings in portions of the eastern belt although spot mes sages did not even hint that there was any pressure to sell the actual stuff. After advances of to s points on the more active months the market fell off and around mid -ses- sion was at it's lowest. showing net declines of 22 to 30 points. Small recoveries came about, but did not last and the close was 20 to 2S points under the close of yesterday. De cember traded up to 20.S1c. fell off to 2o.5oc and closed at 2055c
 The net advances of the day were confined to the first few minutes of trading when the market felt buy ing encouraged by a peter Liver pool than due. Almost immediately hedge offerings came in. The declin- ing tendency was checked by the large exports for the day and by the report, that 54,000 bales, to be taken up on October contracts in New York would be shipped out of that stock. Exports for the day amounted to 52.695 bales against only 7,4o2 this day last year A private report on condition of 400 per cent of normal appeared but had little effect, and only little buyin>. was stimulated by reports of rain in sections of Texas and Louisiana.
