ADJUSTMENTS
THE GIRL IN THE
 TAX" ID OPENAT
 THE R|ALTO TODAY

A high powered multiple cylinder speedfest of fun and laughter is un- srlined at the Rialto in the engage ment lasting today and tomorrow of the big double program which fea- lures Mir. and Mrs. Carter DeHayen in The Girl in the Taxi" and the added attraction in the shape of a vaudeville sketch entitled Squirrel Haven" presented by Ben Henshaw, Eleanor Stephens and Connor John- son, local amateurs who have written and produced the act themselves. Its presentation on the Rialto stage this evening marks its first public appear ance, as well as the first act to grace the new Rialto stage.
 The Girl in the Taxi" was, in the "speakie" version, one of the most hilarious farces that ever struck Broadway, and Mir. and Mrs. Carter DeHaven were the stars in the origi- nal version. The fact that they have vfsualized the same farce for the screen is most significant. especially when one takes into consideration the vastly superior features of the studio for the elaborate presentation of any class of entertainment.
 The Girl in the Taxi' is a. skit built only for laughing purposes, and recounts the strange adventures that befell an erstwhile black sheep whose escapades kept his father in a continual strain of apprehension.
 On one occasion, after being re- fused money by the batter, he stole the latter's clothes and to avoid the wrath. after pawning them, he hid in a taxi. Imagine his surprise when he suddenly found himself being whisked away-and in the car with him was the prettiest girl he had ever seen. A few days later, at a party given by his father, he was more surprised to find the girl of the taxi adventure one of the guests. An affair followed, and this. is what starts the laughs and keeps them coming through six reels of the fast est kind of fun.
 This is the first evening of the tryout at the Rialto of the vaude- vile act, Squirrel Haven" built by the three local folks named above This will happen between the first and second shows tonight and tomor- row evening. The act will go on about 9 p. m.
 Ben Henshaw, Eleanor Stephens ard Connor Johnson are the three local amateurs who sponsor the skit 1t is entirely an amateur affair-the first time it has been presented on any stage. This is an added attrac- tion solely and is being offered with out advance in prices.

Jackie cooqan at the Strand

Jackie Coogan in ''Peck's Bad Boy returns to the Strand to open a three days engagement today, with a spe-
 cial cent kiddies' matinee scheduled
 for Saturday afternoon. The bad boy stories are perhaps the best known of all American humor works. They have kept the entire nation laughing for many years-and their popularity is just as great now as when dad was boy. Jackie Coogan makes an ideal "bad boy" He is just the type-just as mischievous as can be. is as natural as life itself, and as a comedian of the very first grade he has proved his worth appearing with Charlie Chaplin in 'The Kid" He furnishes all the fun himself in Peck Bad Boy" It was filmed es- neciallY to star the best known kid in
