Moore. RiaIte--The Concert"

To those who have not had the
opportunity OF seeing Leo Ditrich-
stein in The Concert"-(and to
those who have)-a treat is afford
ed in the flm version of the stage
production produced by Goldwyn
and presented at Moore's Rialto
Theater yesterday, the showing to
continue throughout the entire
week. The hit made by the play on
the legitimate stage promises to be
duplicated on the screen, for In
every respect. the Rialto manage
ment is offering its patrons a most
remarkable entertainment.
The Concert" is the story of a
temperamental middle-aged music
master and the impressionable
young wife OF a physician who try
soul mating" under the chaperon-
age of wife and husband. The main
point brought out by the story is.
that some of us perhaps would like
to take other wives, or other hus-
bands. but few of us would like
others to take our husbands or
wives and that a fair exchange
would be a terrible robbery.
The humorous situations of which
Mr.. Ditrichstein made so much are
carried out with splendid emphasis
in the screen version by a selected
and we'll proportioned cast. includ-
ing Lewis S. Stone, Myrtle Stedman,
Raymond Hatton, Mabel Julienne
Scott. Gertrude Astor. Russ Powell
and Lydia Yeamans Titus, the acting
of all being uniformly excellent.
Surprising innovations are intro
duced previous to and in the course
of the showing. One or these is the
conveyance to the screen Of impress
sions that are created by the piano
playing of the genius-that is, the
audience is made actually to See
music which it cannot hear. This
IS done by the use of double ex-
posures. The other is the manner
in which Daniel Breeskin, director
Of the Rialto orchestra, has ampli-
ned this effect and the enjoyment OF
the presentation by his innovation
in the form of a concert prologue.
