Rome. the standard of masculine
beauty was Adonis, the lad who
caught the fancy Of no less whimsical
a beauty than Venus herself. In
later centuries, when clothes came
into fashion, replacing the scanty and
careless draperies of Greece and
Rome, Beau Brummel was always
cited as the masculine peak and pin
nacle of good looks and correct
Times have changed. Business COM

MOORE'S RIALTO GETS
new SEATS FOR BOXES

A delightful surprise awaits all
patrons of "the diamond horse-shoe"
at Moore's Rialto Theater this week
and in the future. all Of the boxes
having been equipped with new chairs
throughout.
AS has always been the case at this
popular house. comfort of its patrons,
and not the number of seats that
might be crowded into a given space,
was the first consideration given in
the purchase of the new installation
and as a result the chairs now in
place are wide, roomy and comfort
able. Just the right height for a
proper view of the screen and built
with broad restful arm supports.
Finish in a rich mahogany shade
and upholstered with soft leather,
they present a cool, sanitary, restful
appearance that is found to be a fact
by those who have tried them and
which will undoubtedly make this
section. OF the house more popular
than ever with Rialto audiences.
