Emmett Dalton, the sole surviving
member Of the famous Dalton band
completes his engagement at the
Strand with the final presentation
today Of Beyond the Law" the
mighty even-reel picture which de-
picts accurately the lives and career
of the famous crowd During Em-
NETT Dalton's personal appearance he
breaches the gospel of the folly of
crime. and delivers an interesting
talk on the deeds and exploits which
made the Dalton boys the most des-
perate as well as the most elusive of
all the bands which roamed the West
of the days gone by He points un-
erringly to the great fact of the folly
of slipping beyond the law" and
makes the moral so real that it can
not be missed.
In Beyond the Law that same
frankness which marks Dalton's talk
is evident in every foot of the fea-
ture. 1t does not deal in sensational
ism in any form. 1t is clean and
wholesome. And while it is exciting
and gripping, through the sheer fact
that it deals realistically with the
actual facts of the career OF the
band, it does not mislead the young,
nor is there anything to repel the
old. Nothing offensive, it is his
tory actually lived again and on the

MACLYN ARBUCKLE
IS At COLUMBIA IN
'PROD|GAL JUDGE

A character that has lived long in
fiction comes to life upon the screen
in the perturbation Of 1.-THE Prodigal
Judge" starring Maclyn Arbuckle
and Jean Paige, the big Vitagraph
special which opens a three day en-
gagement at Mauk's Columbia thea
ter this afternoon. It is one of the
big productions of the season and
has scored tremendous hits wherever
shown.
AS the prodigal judge, Maclyn Ar
buckle enacts one of the most low
able Characters in all American fic-
ton in a manner that gives him rank
as one of the greatest of all character
performers before the camera. He
really lives the part, forgetting that
he is acting.
"The Prodigal Judge" is a story of
the old South in 1885. Many or the
scenes were taken in Virginia and
parts OF the South where the story is
laid. Every effort was made to re-
produce the foliage and surroundings
described by Vaughan Kester in his
world famous novel of the same
name upon which this picture is
based. 1t has been built upon solid
foundation, a real story. The book
took the country by storm. II
abounds in quaint, picturesque and
lovable characters who appeal both
to the heart and the sense of humor
The people in it are not just char
acters," they are men and women
who weep and laugh, who hate and
do things. There are many big scenes
and opportunities galore for power
full acting. A pretty love story is in
terwoven in the plot and. what is
more rare, a wonderful friendship
between two men, the Judge and

ADJUSTMENTS
RIVERSIDE PARK IS
ALL READY FOR BIG
OPENING SATURDAY

Everybody is counting the minutes
ill Saturday, the day set by Richards
and Mace as the opening date for
Riverside park the largest and most
popular amusement center in the en-
tire state.
And during the passing minutes the
crew of workers at the park are Ia
boring like beavers to put on every
finishing touch that will make the
park the prettiest resort it has ever
been.
An interesting announcement for
the Riddles comes in the statement
that the merry go round will be all
repaired and overhauled and running
in all its glory Saturday and the lit
tie ones may ride twice for the price
of a single ride. The ponies are all
resplendant in their new coats of
bright paint. The giant swing looks
like a million dollars with its riot OF
color and its inviting freshness.
The painters and decorators have
svooped down on the park, and in ev-
cry section IF its vast expanse one
sees the result of their efforts. AS has
been announced, white is the pre-
dominating color this year. and IT
has made The most pleasing erect
of any scheme yet used in the color
display.
A new system Of pumps has been
installed at Riverside park, which
makes the filling of the pool very
simple matter and means that there
will not be a single day eliminated
in the swimming program for the
season. Through the new arrange
ment it will be possible to clean the
pool thoroughly, wash and rub it and
then refill it all overnight, so that
when the morning dawns the great
plunge will be ready for the bathers.
new system of heating the water
has also been installed and this is
another great feature that will make
for the popularity of the plunge this
year. It is planned that throughout
the season the pool will be the scene
Of tournament sports and contests.
and many new innovations viii be
offered as the season gets under way.
At the ballroom one will be struck
by the prettiest dancing emporium
Phoenix has ever known. An entlre-
" new decorative scheme has been
inaugurated and there has been a
great stride made in the facilities
for the accommodation of the pa
irons. Enlarged table space, more
seating capacity, and even more dane
ing surface has been gained through
the removal of the orchestra from the
center of the ballroom to the side.

Novelty is going to be the talk of
the entire city. This is a distinct
novelty. No matter how many shadow
acts one has seen, no matter how
many pantornine specialties one has
witnessed, Perrell's act is going to
strike one as a revelation. He is a
class by himself in his chosen work,
and furnishes no end Of entertain
ment to both young and old.
And breath is waited from Homo
lulu in the act of AritA with Wiki
Bird. The act is styled "A Honolulu

prise" and it is all OF that. Steel
guitars. uxeleles, and Hawaiian spe-
cialties form the backbone of the act.
An Hawaiian act is always an appre-
ciated musical offering. aed when
one remembers this is the team men

Variety as the most clever one en-
tour this year, Phoenix Is indeed Of

is George AIDES story of the same
name made by Goldwyn into as fasci-
mating a photoplay as this clever
young brother of "our Mary" has yet
had. 1t is the soul OF clean, whole-
