dwellers is. again demonstrated with
that same remarkable accuracy as
marked "Humoresque. In Just
Around the Corner" she has presented
story similar in its appeal. though
differing widely in the theme from
the former triumph.
Just Around the Corner is sim
plicity personified, but its hold on the
reviewer is constant and supreme.
The story again concerns a mother
her son-and her daughter-much the
same sort of family as made UP the
central characters in "Humoresque"
but in the present production, the
interest leans more strongly towards
the daughter. rather than the son.
Fannie Hurst has stripped the story
of all "fancies and frills," she starts
telling the narrative before the first
reel is half unwound, and from the
moment the characters are intro
duced until the very last scene OF
the picture. the influence OF the plot
is most keealy felt by everyone in
every audience. She tells of life as
she finds it on the east side OF the
worlds greatest sity. depicts the
struggles of the little family to pre-
serve untarnished the family name
ence, the girls predicament when she
is insulted by the owner of the sweat
shop in which she works. her meet
ing with a rotter of the streets. her
mothers keen interest in the welfare
of the daughter-the maternal scent
OF danger. and then. the great rom
ance, the coming of the man from
the streets. the real man. and through
scenes of laughter. of humor, of the
deepest and most sincere pathos.
through lights and shadows, in short
through life itself, Fannie Hurst
leads her audience directing the at
tention to a story of as great heart
interest as that possessed by "Hum
oreSque," story equally as strong,
a theme even more appealing.
By many critics Just Around the
Corner is deemed a superior master
work to "Humoresque." audiences at
the Rialto during the last two days
have voted il such. and the fact that
this is the last day of the engage
ment will more than likely find the
house of exceptional features crowded
with those who would take advantage
of the last opportunity to see what
is freely predicted is a production
that will distance 'Humoresaue"
not only in the matter Of attendance
figures. but in universal satisfaction
as we'll.
This is also the last day OF the

The company is known widely in

talent, combined with their classy

latest Universal western production,
Sure Fire Here's action personi-
fled, combined with a bang UP story
Of excitement and interest, and once
again proves that "Hoot" is worthy
of the title of being the most dashine-
breezy western star in pictures today.
The story of Sure Fire" is the
story of a cowboy whose lack OF
ambition caused his sweetheart much
concern. But her constant pleading
finally awakened the spark of am
bition. and Sure Fire" became as
much of worker as he was an
idler.
His home is mortgaged, and he IS
attempting to negotiate deal through
which the plaster will be pulled
off. when he unearths a plot that II
carried out will bring nothing but
misery TO the sister of the girl he
loves. The woman believes she is
unhappily married. and is planning
an elopement. Here Sure Fire"

il is his efforts TO Straighten out the
tangle that gives the story its rapid

this also adds materially to the ap-

Many have read the criticisms OF
the picture. They are familiar with
its exceptional nature, its brilliance
its fidelity TO facts, its remarkable
views of the inner shrines of the
studios. and this coupled with the
fact that this engagement offers
Phoenix the opportunity to see the
girl who had posed for more paintings
and statues than any living model
today makes OF the screening a
premiere event that is bound to be
quickly responded to.
No advance in prices will mark the
