RIALTO.

Castle In "Slim Shouiders-'

SuBtIe
Victor Herbert appears in person
at Moore's Rialto this week. He
will conduct the Rialto orchestra
three times daily throughout the
week. and he demonstrated yester-
day that in so far as Washington
is concerned, the keys of the city
are his. An audience which taxed
the capacity of the house greeted
him with enthusiasm upon his en-
trance and gave him an ovation
when the final number of his CON
cert petite" had been played.
The orchestra meets the demands
of their noted conductor in a man
ner that brings forth a perfect rem
dition of the various numbers given
and the result was half hour
of the best Herbert music Wash
ington has ever enjoyed. The pro-
gram is Herbert from start TO
finish, every number having been
written by the emisent composer.

The cinema offering is a fitting
complement to the concert portion
of the bill. 1t Is a new Irene Castle
picture from the pen of Charles X.
Harris. the noted song writer. en-
titled "Slim Shoulders" one of the
most entertaining and delightful
screen productions in which this
charming star has ever appeared.
A society romance in every sense
of the word, the story is replete
with love, drama and comedy in
terest. with thrills galore and a
veritable style show thrown in for
good measure. The star does
little of everything a picture actress
could possibly be called upon to do.
She wears beautiful and gorgeous
clothes as only she can, she drives
a fast motor boat rides horseback,
dances, swims. and drives a fast car
in a manner beyond criticism. All
in all, "Slim Shoulders" is excellent
entertainment and without eXcep-
tion the best Mrs. Castle has been
seen in to date.
Rod LaRocque. Warren Cook.
Marie Burke. Mario GARLIC, and
Anders Randolph appear to advan-
tage in the supporting cast. The
supplementary program includes an
interesting Starland Review. Topics

CRASDALI'S.
Dustin Farnum. In "The Trail Of
The Axe"

There is vast contrast between
the two companion features of the
bill arranged for the first three
days of the current week at Gran
dalrs Theater. The Trail of the
Axe" the major attraction. is a
virile drama of the picturesque
lumber country in which the stel.
lar role is played by Dustin Far
mum: the secondary offering a hi
larious burlesque on the ancient
Scottish acreage pastime. which
bears the title of "Golf' and af-
fords Larry Semon. the screens
champion clown, one Of his mosr
fruitful opportunities.
The Trail of the Axe" presents
story rich in the essential ele-
ment of conflict in which the lead
ing feminine role is played with
great charm and power by Wini-
fred Kingston, an artiste whose
talents have not adorned the silver
sheet for many months. One OF
the most valuable assets which
this sterling subject possesses is
the magnificent scenic background
which Nature has contributed as
a setting for the movement of the
forceful story. An excellent sup.
porting ensemble adds to the cf-
fectiveness of the picture.
Golf is one unending laugh
The fun of this two-reel travesty
Is not confined to burlesque of the
popular pastime. but wanders
afield on occasion TO extract the
humor from a variety of situations
which. If not extraneous. are con-
nected only remotely with the
chief basis of plot upon which
Golf" strings its convulsing in
cidcnts. Lucille Carlisle and the
other members of the familiar
Semon troupe contribute in gener-
Gus measure to the laughability
of a farce that is chiefly notable
for the ridiculous antics of its
star.
