Gloria's Plans

Glorias Plans
'It is too bad. Virgie dear, that
all this happened just when you
and had planned out everything
SO nicely. l know that you will
think me selfish, but honestly,
Virgie, when I met you that af-
ternoon In the hotel lobby had
no idea that / would ever marry
Herbert. In fact, l though hat
ed him. Oh, Virgie, I never
knew that loving and hating lie
so near togetherl
"Now / don't believe that you
can hate any one greatly il you
have not loved him. Surely, few
girls suspect that they could love
man for the very things for
which they have once hated him.
"Ands Virginia, you brought
me luck. can't help feeling a
little superstitious about you. l
am almost sure that this would
never happened and l would
never have been so happy If had
not met you.
81 wish / could help you some
way. 1t seems so horrid to go
away and leave you all alone
here. You are such an innocent
child. But l shan't be so very
far away and you will write me
often.
en- know just what you are
doing and III see this apartment
just as we have 1t together"
''But, Ria, you know can't
keep this apartment. 1t is too
expensive. l must begin to live
on my salary and put away what
is left of Aunt Virginia's money
for a rainy day. I can't sew
like you, Ria dear, and it will be
very hard for me to keep a room
somewhere. Surely some of
these people who have bungalows
will rent me one room. -
"Why, you are going to stay
right here, Virginia. Herb gave
me this check for you ia.
Involuntarily I took the check,
but the moment I felt it's crack
ling 1 pushed it back into Gloria IS
hand.
"My dear, I cannot take this
check, and beside, l would be very
lonely here. You know how
lonely you were until l came. -"
Just how lonely / would be l
fully realized. Youth is always
more or less lonely and it seems
to me that a girl in Moyieland,
especially a girl who comes from
a home where she. has been cared
for and protected from the out
side world, is lonelier than any
else on earth.
Gloria understood this, for she
said: "Oh, l know, know, my
dear, and I don't blame you at
all for wanting to be on your
own. That is the only way that
a girl can get along. The girls
for whom the steps upward are
made easy are the ones who can
not cling to the top round of the
ladder And yet, l hate to have
you rushing around finding a
place. Take Tommy Warner S
advice. He is a dear, Virgie.
Just as decent as they make
them.

to have in my part" she asked

THRILLING PICTURE, THE SK|EK,' AT TIE
 RIALTO SATURDAY

No picture announcement In many months has attracted any more at- tention than has the announcement from the Rialto that George Mel ford's great Paramount special, 'The Sheik," will start it's engagement at the house of exceptional features next Saturday.
 ''The Sheik' is unquestionably the fastest selling novel tefore the public today. Its colorful story; its thrilling climaxes; it's intensely human theme:
 it's originality in plot, and the stir ring emotion which surges through chapter after chapter have all made it the most widely discussed book of
 the age, and now that it has been
 picturized by the greatest picture
 producing concern in the world, di-
 rected by a veteran of the megaphone whose pictures are everyone a mas
 terpiece: featuring Rudolph yalen- tino, star of "The Four Horsemen of
 the Apocalypse" and Agnes Ayres,
 whose successes unde the Cecil B. DeMille banner won her stardom on the Paramount program, it is little take its place alongside the written novel as the resigning sensation of the day.
 'The Sheik" Is at present the at traction at Graumans Rialto theater in Los Angeles, where for week after week it piles up attendance figures staggering and phenomenal. The Ria1to in bringing the feature to Phoenix is offering the opportunity for witnessing the nnasterwork, and at a time when it is the one topic of conversation in picture circles every where.
 The screen adaptation gives full play to all the force and power of the novel. The big punches" of the story have been preserved with faith full fidelity-the love story of the

THE SEEK, 1T TIE TELLS. STORY OF TIE SOUTH SEA ISLES

Stories of the South Sea isles al-

 is added thrills which number hun- dreds. a daring love romance on the
 outskirts of vilization-realistic sea

 picked one-tlle importance of the
 announcement from the Strand that
 Prank Mayo is to start an engage
 ment at that popular theater today,
 starring in ''The Shark Master" is at
 least somewhat apparent.
 But as to the feature itself, 1t is a
 marvellous cinema triumph which is at once the last word in love stories the ultimate in adventure tales and the zenith of sensational realism. Among the outstanding thrills
 might be mentioned he burning to the waters edge of an ocean liner-a tiny babe afloat amid the wreckage: i:
 small schooner caught in the fury of a terrible tropical storm; the nlutiny of fear-crazed crew of 1 brown skinned fanatics, and the peril 1 of a white man, their captain; the 1 sinking of the schooner and the drift l ing to the shore of the white man, his
 rescue by the natives, among whom l tnerS IS a DGauLlIul S-n1tG ETH known
 as the Flame F1ower;" his weird trial l for his life; the intervention of the girl in saving his life; sile romance between the two castaways; the res- cuing party from the State the sen- sational dive from a 0-foot- gh ! cliff by the girl, and the diving imme- | diately after of the man in an effort to rescue her from the sharks which infest the waters; the strange climax brought about when the man is found by sweetheart from America, after he has for years lived with the girl | of the islands, and thu strange thing which kept them apart and rushed the man to the arms of the Flame 1 Flower"
 | ''The Shark Master is a sensation | in film possibilities. Months were
 consumed in making the feature. It gives Frank Mayo, unquestionably one of the most yirile of the male l stars. an opportunity for his greatest work since "The Brute Breaker" in
 which he swept the country from coast to coast a season or so ago. The action is amazing, the thrills sin l cere and vivid, while the story itself | Is an epic of heart-reachnig romance. l The supporting company includes May Collins as the feminine lead. This
 is the girl reported engaged to Charlie Chaplin, and her role in ''The Shark | Master" is her first screen appear ance since the runlor came from Hollywood of the approaching nup- tials.

BEATING THE GAME WITH TOM MOORE 1T
 COLUMBIA TUESDAY

Tuesday brings to Mauk's Colum- bia theater Tom Moore's latest pie ture. "Beating the Game" the story of an honest crook. For good whole some comedy of clean nature, Tom Moore has no equal, and the role of sFancy Charlie" expert safe-cracker, gives him ample opportunity to dis play his talent along those lines.
 Caught in the act of robbing a mas ter crooks safe. he is given the alter native of acceding to the crooks de- mands or going to jail. The crook gives Charlie s5.000 and tells him to establish himself in a .'hick'' town somewhere; stay there for year, and become known to every man, woman and child as Honest Tom Smith. At she expiration of the year the master crook agrees to come to the town and show Charlie how to make killing.
 Charlie establishes himself in Plum field .as per agreement and enters business. All is going well until Charlie falls in love with his stenog- ; rapher and decides to go straight. On the eve of his campaign for mayor the master crook arrives and tells Charlie that the time is ripe for the big killing, and that he must go through with it as he agreed to do.
 How Charlie gets out of his diff culty and marries the girl of his choice makes one of the most pleasing comedy dramas that has been shown here in some time.

 The story of "The Sheik" is known widely: the sale of the book has reached millions, and there is not the sign of an abatement in the zeal with which the public is receiving it. The coming of the picture at this time is, therefore, doubly attractive; it gives one the opportunity to see in animation the book which has thrilled them, and at a time when the fame of the story is at its height.
