Strand
 The Strand continues the engage ment of the Cosmopolitan production, Straight is the Way" the screen adaptation of the Saturday Evening Post story. "The Manifestation of Henry Ort." The theme is one of tenseness and revealing an appeal in which country girl and a New York crook become enmeshed.
 The story is fast moving, convinc- ing in its climaxes, and refreshingly accurate in its sequence.
 A couple of New York crooks have struck the little town in which the adventure crops out, and during the course of their operations take ref uge in house occupied by an alder ly woman and her ward. Overhear- ing the conversation of the two wom- en they learn that they are in the hands of a merciless money shark who threatens to dispossess them for payment of mortgage. They also learn that they have faith in creted about the premises & pot of gold, and seek the whereabouts of the treasure through the aid of the ouija board. Touched by the plight of the women, the crooks plan a des perate scheme for the manifestation of the deceased Henry in the shape of locating the treasure, and the complications which result are the basis for as clean cut a comedy as one could wish for.
 The added attractions are the Pathe News and the Mutt and Jeff comedy.
 Rialto
 Just today and tomorrow remain of the engagement of Charlie Chap lin at the Rialto, where the premiere comedian is convulsing every audi enee with his side splitting antics in .'The Idle Glass;
 His characterization is a dual one, that of a tramp with ambitions to become the international golf cham pion and of a well groomed, immac- ulately fashioned millionaire who is about as clever in society as the pro- verbal bull in a china shop"
 In the fun making Chaplin Is ably assisted by such talent as Edna Pur- >viance as his leading lady, and Mack
 
 seen in so many of the Sennett re- leases, as the foil.
 "The Idle Class Is the first com edy Charlie Chaplin has made since ''The Kid" and the crowds which are on hand at every screening of the classic in fun is ample evidence of it's success, the entire company re- spending to the call of fun with the same enthusiasm as marked the rec ord breaking tours of "The Kid.'
 The added attractions make a per fectly balanced program, which will give way Wednesday to the opening of the engagement of Constance Tal- madge, appearing in her latest First National release. "Mama's Affair" Ramona
 s'The Boss of Bar X Ranch" opened at the Ramona yesterday with ma- tinee and two shows at night and the ludicrous, cow-country comedy with the Greer-Lawler troupe all in cowboy and cowgirl costume, kept the crowds in a continual roar of laughter during the entire show. Bob Greer as a cowboy comic was genuinely funny. Dressed in chaps and bristling with guns. he woos l and wins the widow Smith after a galloping campaign of love which completely stampedes the lady heart.
 For real amusement. this breezy | western comedy of the great out doors, typical of life on the Arizona range, with moments of tense ex 1 citement, romping on the heels rioteous comedy situations. would in i deed be hard to equal. Punctuatin | the interesting story of the Bar Ranch at frequent intervals ar many new and snappy musical spe l cialties, among which the Cowbi quartette probably takes first honor l Miss Erin White and Art Jackso l in a double song number were re. called several times. Eva Stewart Hazel Mason, Ben Nelson and Bof Greer were also pleasing in songs assisted by the new beauty chorus l Charles Ray in "The Clodhopper' heads the picture program and holds the undivided attention of the audi ence throughout with his interpreta. | ton of country life. Hoot Gibsor in a stirring two-reel western en- titled-"The Movie Trail' concludes the bill.
