mot GUILTY. AT RIALTo
TELLS STRANGE STORY

A strange story Of twin brothers
who exchanged Identities is Not
Guilty" at the Rialto this week. This
picture plays on the popular idea of
two men identical physically and to-
tally different in personality. 1t
shows the remarkable difference in
the appeal of two men who to the
eye the men would naturally have
the same effect and proves again
the value of that indehnable thing
about every human being, the Il am
l" This theme idea of Not Guilty
is very striking indeed.
Sylvia Dreamer and Arthur Dix
play the leading roles. Arthur DIX
gives a fine dual performance as
both of the twin brothers and draws
the very sharp line between the two
that the author intended. Miss
Bf eamer, noted for womanY charm
and beauty, is an engaging heroine.
Through the unusual character of
the story 1t shifts quite a bit, or in
fact, over about half the globe. The
characters are represented as people
of wealth and with love for travel
which makes the wide locale of the
strange story possible. This results
in some rare scenic effects and a
generally picturesque production.

WANDA HAWLEY AT GALAX
IN .HER FACE VALUE.v

There seems to be d general ten
dency in the pictures to become more
human and true to life. Much Of
this tendency can be seen IN ths
characters introduced in Her Face
vaIue's at the Galax, and to- less
extent in the story also hut the
characters, the fat rather with per-
petual hackache, the spunging brothS
er, both of whom play on the sym
pathies, and eternally turn up at the
wrong moments in the sister and
daughters life, are very true to the
class of New York strugglers de-
picted.
Generally speaking. this picture
can be called an entertaining one.
lust because of the life-Hke char
acters.
So. the fact that the story is just
bit too full of change of fortune
for the characters, and rather crowd
ed with incident, does not hurt the
production like it might. Too much
happens, but 1t is really interesting,
and the spectator has enough enter
tainment watching some OF the char-
acters to make up for anything else.
"Her Face Value tells the story
of a chorus girl who is the goat OF
her family, which consists OF
father and Brother. She marries
fine young man, but the fatner ana
brother make the home so completely
obnoxious that the matrimonial snip
goes on the rocks and many expe-
ricnces follow both ito husband and
wife before the final outcome. I. Roy
Barnes plays the husband and wan
da Hawley the chorus girl wife.
Wanda always dresses up, and IN this
she wears some very pretty gowns,
especially in the latter part, when
fortune favors the wife.

1.-The Old Nest" is "a series of dra-

an American family. The theme is
mother love. and the audience is priv
iileged to look into the home and INTO
the hearts of a typical family All
the little Joys and SORROWS that every
one of us remembers are flashed

laughter in quick succession.
In the story, the mother lives to see
her family of six children gradually
drift away from the old home. But
| in the end they remember the old
nest and come home to roost There
is no plot, any more than there is
plot in life itself. Things happen,
no one knows why and no one aues-

The picture. which was directed by
Reginald Barker. was made at the

kick a field goal. but failed on the
25-yard line.
