PEACOCK ALLEY"
is To OPEN At THE
R|ALTO SATURDAY

a glorious spectacle of brilliant
nagnificence, inspiring settings, and
wondrous gowns, an intimate story of
the inside" of night life in Paris and
New York, and at the same time
story of compelling heart interest,
and supreme humanness. Peacock
Alley" starring Mae Murray starts its
engagement at the Rialto tomorrow,
bringing to the city one of the great
outstanding productions of the day,
a motion picture which is making
most enyiable record throughout the
country.
Mae Murray has been responsible
for some of the most brilliant sue
ceSses in the annals of the silent
screen. She has ever been asso-
ciated with productions whose mas
siveness, gorgeousness, and glamor-
Gus splendor have been the standard
. by which all productions Of this ma
tura have been judged.
It was Mae Murray, it will be re-
naembered who electrified the world
with "On With the Dance" and THE
Right to Love- and Idols of Clay"
and then "The Gilded Lily" Each
one of these productions We're epoch
marking releases. They presented
stories entirely different from any
thing else on the screen, the massive
ness OF their settings, the brilliance
of the ensembles, and the comprehen-
siveneSs of the atmosphere in which
they were filmed still remain green
in the memory of the photoplay low
ers who witnessed them.
And now comes the crowning
achievement of her entire career
Peacock Alley" a motion picture
triumph in which the elements of
beauty and sensational spectacular
display will prove a positive revela-
ton 1t cannot be compared with
any production yet to reach the silver
sheet. 1t is in a class entirely its
own. conceded and cited as one OF the
most appealing storys of the white
lights ever filmed.
And while the story Is everything
the reviewers have said of it IN the
matter OF pomp, and the wealth OF
dazzling display, it likewise reaches
high water mark in the direct heart
appeal and in the compelling and
convincing nature of its theme.
Mae AIurray's role is that of "Cleo"
dancer of Partisan boulevards, fav-
orite in the cabarets, wined, dined,
feted. sought after-the reigning
beauty of the gay French capitol,
known throughout all Europe for her
wonderful dancing ability, and for her
sensational gowns. Into her life
comes a young American, sent to
France by his firm to secure an inn
portant contract. The American be-
comes infatuated with Cleo, and she
with him. Infatuation turns to ro-
nance. and thence to love, and when
she finally consents to become his
wife. his cup of happiness has reached
the fullest expression. But in America
he meets with setbacks. His family
will have none of the Partisan wife,
they call upon him to renounce the
marriage. and send Cleo back across
the seas. This the lad stoutly re-
fuses to do. a decision which swings
the story to New York, and back
again to the white lights of Broad
way. Dramatic situations follow thick
and fast, the appeal is insistent,
backed by a suspense that is posi-
lively gripping. 1t maintains this
interest to the extreme climax of the
story, bringing TO an end one of the
most unusual of the present day
screen successes, and a production for
which it is freely predicted a new at
tendance record will be set at the
Rialto.
The management is calling atten-
ton to the limited run. and is urg-
ing attendance during the matinees.
