go. the management. eager to remove
any Objectionable features that might
have heretofore existed, yesterday
had the workmen on the grounds re-
move the high unsightly fences at
the entrance to the park With the
fences removed there is an unre-
stricted view of the entire front of
the park which is used as parking
space for autos. An attractive low
fence will replace the old barrier in
few days. The box office has been
torn down and new one erected
further back from the road, feature
that will be greatly appreciated by
autoists.
The new canvas covering for the
swimming pool has been stretched
over the outer walk surrounding the
plunge thus providing shade for the
throngs of bathers at all hours of the
day. AT night the pool is made as
bright as day by streamers of cleo
trio lights strung overhead. Not only
the sides of the pool have been en-
ameled with three coats of white en-
amel, but the bottom has been en-
ameled likewise. In going to the
added expense Of painting the bot
tom, the management had in mind
the comforts of its patrons, as the

MORAN OF THE LADY
LEFTY IS COMING To
R|ALTO ON SATURDAY

The rugged life on the high seas,
where every ship is a little world of
its own, and the fascinating brilliance
of wealthy society where life is idled
away in a maze of shallowness and
listless, aimless pastimes, two strata
as widely separated as the ends of
the earth-and this is the atmosphere
and environment Frank Norris invad-
ed in the construction of Moran of
the Lady Lefty" which, under George
Melford's masterful direction has be-
come one of the biggest Paramount
features in years, the superproduction
in which Dorothy Dalton, supported
by Rodolph Valentino and cast of
exceptional celebrities, opens three-
days engagement at the Rialto, start
ing Saturday.
In the phases of the story depicting
the life aboard ship, it has been said
that George Melford brings to the
screen in this picture, perhaps the
most wonderful example of realism
yet recorded. This enviable achieve
ment he has registered in scene after
scene, though it is perhaps more en-
phatically pronounced in the great
fire at sea, the scene in which the
Lady Betty becomes the victim of
flames, and through this disaster

The price for the kiddies is but 20
cents.
The restaurant on the grounds at
Riverside park is another item too
big to be overlooked. The finest

scattered all over the grounds and
they are always at the convenience

Into the community there rode a
stranger whose first question was the
direction of Steve Trask's ranch.
This was an uncommon question
either fools or undesirables asked
that, and the stranger wore out his
welcome with his first question. In
riding along, he comes onto the ranch
of the Mardsens, and meets Betty.
Trask's ranch was guarded, that
seemed to mean nothing to the
stranger, and he gained Trask's con-

and the stranger met, and Trask
longed for a chance TO get something

by Frisco Kitchell," murderous, viii
famous, tyrannical and brutal. And
this incident brings into the drama
another phase of set life, existence
aboard a craft totally foreign and
desperately worse than that on "The
Lady Betty" rough and rugged as
that was. For with all the hardships
on the latter craft, there was at least
some semblance Of humanity, how
ever family the spark burned, while
stealth, piracy, physical might and
the eternal unrest born of forced re-
straint seemed to impel every MEM
ber of the crew on the hell ship
The final clash OF right and might
and the terrific struggle and fight be-
tween the stalwart sturdy men of the
deep is scene in which realism to
the ultimate is again reached and
in which another of the great eli
makes in Moran of the Lady Lefty
is wrought.
And in direct contrast to the
rough and rugged environment of sea
life, Nelford has produced the ele-
gance, finery and brilliance of the
social leaders. Ballroom sets, mas
sive hotel Shots" ultra fashionable
yachting parties, and the display of
pomp and sumptuousness will prove
as startling as the virile "shots" on
the seas.
Nor has he overlooked the romance
which weaves the story into the Won
derfully appealing emotional epic 1t
proved in its novel form. The love
story is steadily developed to reach
it's crux in an overwhelming rush of
dynamic drama, the overpowering
surge of love into the heart of the
son of society and the daughter of the
vikings, to sweep before it every bar
rier to level every social obstacle, to
again exemplify the world-old truth
love is no respecter Of persons nor
environment.

Dorothy Dalton with easily the
greatest role she has had since "The
Flame of the Yukon" while in the
case of Rodolph Valentino, even his
most ardent admirers will be most
pleasantly surprised in the amazing
delineation he registers, both as a
society lion and as shanghaied man

Proof of the results which can be

and get It. That Is not the point
about the rising labor costs and the
falling earning power of American
shipping. The point IS that when
foreign ships because Of their lower
building costs, lower maintenance
costs, lower labor costs and lower
general operating costs can take
cargoes at given rates and make a
living at those rates, whereas those
rates spell bankruptcy for American
ships-the point is that the Ameri-
can ships cannot stay In business,
Our shipping costs are nothing
less than killing costs. And when
American ships are driven out Of
business by these costs their en-
ployees Lose their jobs at the higher
wages than are paid by the ships of
other countries. In the long run
there is nothing in that for any
body.

the precision Of clockwork where
there is nothing to obstruct the
