OPERA REHEARSAL
ASSURES SUCCESS

Anyone who could have witnessed
the rehearsal of Less Miserable,
the Bohemian club opera, at the Elks
theater last night would have been
very agreeably surprised. A cleverly
arranged plot. wonderful new scenery
and catchy music are some of the
outstanding features of this produc-
ton. to say nothing about the clever
acting on the part of the principals.
1t is related that Verdi, the COM
poser of "Rigoletto.' when rehears-
ing his opera for its first perform
ance. requested all Of the characters
not to sing. whistle or think their
melodies outside the theater. The
composer exacted similar promises
OF the orchestra. chorus and every
one present at the rehearsal. The
reception of the airs, the night OF
the premiere, proved his wisdom IN
taking these precautions. The ap-
plause burst forth many times before
the arias had been finished. and
when the audience had filed from the
theater. these same arias could be
heard whistled and sung throughout
all Venice. It is safe to say that
after the first performance of Less
Miserable" Phoenix people will be
whistling and humming the many
tunes with the same enthusiasm.
To go into detail regarding the
clever ''Saharo dance" and the many
other surprising features OF the
opera would be impossible in limited
space; suffice it to say that anyone
who appreciates something differ
ent'' will find Less Miserable en-
tirely to their satisfaction.

GLORIA SWANSON At
THE R|ALTO TO-DAY

For limited engagement of just
three days. Gloria Swanson will hold
the Rialto screen starting today,
presenting her Paramount triumph
Her Husbands Trademark.
Gloria Swanson is one of the most
popular feminine stars in screendom.
She has achieved that popularity
through consistently appearing in
stories of the deepest heart interest,
combined with an elaborate display of
beauty not only in settings, and in
vestiture, but in the wonderful gowns
and apparel she displays.
Her Husbands Trademark en-
bodies both these characteristics to q
remarkable degree. 1t would be
hard to imagine a story of any
greater human interest than the plot
Clara Beranger has woven into, this
Paramount feature. And through the
role she has drawn for Gloria Swan
| son, the picture marks the very ulti-
| mate in gowns, costumes and fenl-
| nine finery. Gloria Swanson wears
over forty different gowns in this
| production, everyone of them an eX-
elusive creation. the entire wardrobe
representing value of actually over
| $75,000.00
The story of "Her Husbands
| Trademark is the story of a wife
whose husband saw only in her
beauty a wonderful advertisement
that the husband was a successful
man. To marry this man, the girl
had rejected chap who had sincs
| become very successful as an engl-
neer, and for a particularly brilliant
feat in Mexico, that government had
awarded him several tracts of rich
oil land. The engineer visits the
States, and calls upon the husband
and wife. At first the husband is in
clined to snub the ''plebian' engineer
but the news of his mission-that OF
negotiating his oil lands, aroused the
cupidity of the husband asd the en-
gineer is welcomed into the house

A real laugh feast is in store for
Columbia theater patrons today When
the big vitagraph special, "The Prod
igaI Judge" a masterful screening OF
Vaughan Kester's popular mover,
shows at the Mauk playhouse for the
last times.
"The Prodigal Judge" is story OF
the old South: of the reconstruction
period, though it Is in no way re-
lated to the historical episodes OF
those dark days for the southern
people, Members of the Ku Klux
Klan play part in the picture,
however.s They are members of the
old and original Klan, however, and
are not intended to portray any OF
the present day activities of the or
ganization which has taken that
name.
"The Prodigal Judge" is a splendid
story, one of the most successful
novels of its day with its action laid
in the most romantic and beautiful
spots along the Ohio. Tennessee and
Mississippi rivers. the characters are
all clean cut types, requiring a cast
of unusual merit down to the least
important 'ebit" 1t is a story that
is we'll worth all the pains that have
been expended in making it and the
screening is deserving of all of the
praise which eastern screen critics
have bestowed upon it. They pro-
claim it one of the big productions of
| the year.
1t abounds in whisical. interesting
characters and in dramatic. adven-
| turous action. And the whole culmi-
mates in one of the most thrilling duel
scenes of history or fiction.
Maclyn Arbuckle-not the Roscoe
! (Fatty) Arbuclxle of San Francisco

character performers of stage or

entire time to this style of drama,
and "A F'ightin' Fool" will be found
equal in speed and action to any
outdoors story one has seen in many
weeks.
Then there is another of the Nick
Carter stories Nick Carter. the
worlds greatest detective, becomes
in the hands of Tom Carrigan, who
plays the famous fiction character, a
typical enemy to the wrongdoer. The
pictures are all taken from the tales
of the celebrated sleuth and they in
troduce all the characters surround
ing the famous detective. Two ex-
cellent comedies balance the pro-
gram, rounding out a perfect enter
tainment,
Tomorrow starts the engagement
Of "The Man Under Cover adapted
from Louis v. Eytinge's story,
Peter Man. Herbert Rawlinson is
the featured player and the sup
porting cast has been very carefully
chosen. Eytinge is serving a SEN
| tence in the Florence penitentiary.
His record and history is well known
| to every Phoenician, so that the at
traction indeed carries a decided ex-

Man Under Cover is positively linz
| tied to two days, and the manage
ment is urging attendance during the
