CHARLIE CHAPLIN IN
PAY DAY COMES To
RIALTO SATURDAY

You've seen Charlie Chaplin as a
tramp, as a dude, as a sport, as a
fighter. as cabaret owner, but he of
fers himself in new one in Pay
Day" when he appears as a laborer
first, and then as a bricklayer. This
is the comedy which the Rialto an
nounces as the feature attraction on
the big double program to start at
the house of exceptional features
Saturday. TO play a three days en-
gagement, during which run, Betty
CompSon will be the added feature,
her vehicle being Goldwyn's Prison
ers of Love-"
PAY Day is one of the funniest
things that has ever reached the
screen. It will be like meeting Char
lie Chaplin all over again. so original
is the comedy. and so new and
unique are the stunts he introduces.
It has been claimed that into this
single comedy. he has crowded more
new stuff than anything he has done
since shoulder Arms 1t is one
continuous scream of laughter, and
depicts the trials and tribulations
that befell the star on pay day..
There is no semblance Of plot or
continuity, the situations have been
constructed just for laughing pur-

slapstick days that comes again TO

golf enthusiast in THE Idle Glass is

on the particular job around which
all the trouble takes place. Edna

Both partners of the law firm fall IN
love with her-the one a sincere al
fection for the girl herself. the other
an undisguised admiration for her
physical beauty The affair prog
resses until the girls father and her
younger sister visit San Francisco
and the man who has promised mar
riage to the star falls in love with
the young sister, not knowing her
identity. The strange threads are
finally brought into the skein OF dra-
ma when the climax comes, and the
heroine comes from San Francisco,
back to New York, on hearing of the
coming wedding of her sister and her
own sweetheart The visit is not to
attend the wedding but to prevent It.
and this gives rise to the soul-stlr-
ring scenes which build toward the
climax. Her cast includes Emory
johnson, Roy Stewart, Ralph Lewis,
Clara Horton and Kate Toncray.
The Rialto is urging attendance
during the matinees. as the engage
ment is positively limited to the
