RIALTO - Divorce Coupons,
With Corinne Griffith.

Corinne Griffith has won large
following among cinema patrons be-
cause of the unusual photoplays in
which she appears, her histrionic tai
ent. her beauty and the gowns which
she wears in all productions. 1t is
claimed that never has the star been
afforded greater opportunity or
given a better production than "Di-
,vorce Coupons" in which she appears
at the Rialto Theater this week. be-
ginning today The story. by Ethel
Watts Mumford. offers a new angle on
the unhappy marriage problems that
lifts it out of the hackneyed rut.

ter of a Door but aristocratic family,

is the outstanding attraction of the
offering. An especially capable sup
porting cast. including Holmes f.
Herbert as leading man. Mona Lisa,
Diana Allen. Cyril Ring and Vincent
Coleman. adds greatly to the finished
film of dramatic action. of love in
terests. of beautiful modern costumes,
wealth of scenic backgrounds and
costly sets.
The subsidiary subjects offered
likewise promise much in unusual
entertainment value, an added at
traction being the presentation of the
latest Triart production, Hope" as
suggested by the master painting by
George Frederick Watts. Mary Astor

Chevy Chase Lake.

Lucky number dances are scheduled
for Wednesday night out at Chevy
Chase Lake. The prizes have not
been announced. but, as past occa-
sions of this sort can attest. they are
bound to be novel and of generous
proportions. The management claims
that no amusement park in the city
can offer finer facilities for dancing.
The two pavilions have floors the like
of which is seldom to be had out
side the finest hotels and cafes.
On the lower pavilion a Meyer Davis
orchestra plays. On the upper pa
vilion the Pete yMacias orchestra is
the attraction. Chevy Chase Lake is
the sort Of place you can be proud to
show out-of-townerS.

Upon Fisher Divorce Pro-

had read with a marked degree Of in.
terest the caustic criticism spoken by
Judge Lemert in passing upon the

that was justified in asking for the
resignation of Harvey Fisher as po.
liceman," said Mayor Keigley. 81
had made investigation and found
enough to justify me in forming the
same opinion held by the judge.
more than that, I think that the
testimony given on the stand that he
knew of nothing against Fishers rec
ord as patrolman justifies me also
In asking, for the resignation OF
Chief Parker. He should have known.
had little or no trouble in getting
the information and 1t seems to have
been in fact quite a matter of COM
mon knowledge, and widely comment
ed upon. When Chief Parker said he
knew nothing of that talk or of what
Fisher was doing it shows that he
has no business at the head of the
police department"
