ADJUSTMENTS
WILL ROGERS STAR IN
ONE GLORIOUS DAY"
At THE R|ALTO TODAY

Making his debut as a full fledged
Paramount star, Will Rogers will be
featured at the Rialto today and to-
morrow in one Of the funniest farce
comedies he has ever had and Incl
dentally a production in which he is
surrounded by the most brilliant sup
porting cast of his career.
Zone Glories Day. is the title of
the mirthquake which brings the
droll comedian for this engagement.
1t is unusual, oddly distinctive and
presents in its theme story which
scintillates with innumerable oppor-
tunities for the renowned Rogers to
score, and he takes immediate advan-
tage of every one of them.
He joins the ranks of science in this
production, his role being that of
professor of psychology in a little
California town. His theory is that
by concentration of will power, one
may have his spirit leave his body
for an indefinite stay, recalling that
flighty essential whenever the owner
sees fit
Between the love of his theory and
the love of his housekeeper's pretty
daughter the professor is mighty
busy man inwardly: but outwardly
the lady of his heart is serenely
ignorant of the terrible smash she
has made on the man of learning, as
he is too shy to even think of telling
her. She devotes her time and atten-
tion to one Ben Wadley, a, cad of the
first water. as events will later prove.
Now the professor is keenly intent
on trying his experiment with the
spirit when ELK" a spirit from some
where in the ego, hits the earth seek
ing mortal experience. He must have
a body in which to travel, or he will
be unable to view mortality with NOR
tai eyes, and when the spirit of the
professor leaves for his short vaca-
ton, Eek" promptly takes possession
of the body of the man of learning
and with the most startling results
that have yet been accorded in mo-
ton picture comedy production. Eek"
it seems at one time inhabited the
body of a continual rounder, man
whose pace was a mile a minute, and
from the docile, retiring college pro-
fessor, the psychologist becomes a
fast and furious, battling, cabaret
frequenting, girl loving demon. He
sweeps the lady of his dreams off her
feet in admiration, proceeds to beat
up ltlG SultOI VI Tic lONSil Oldtlcs 1dt
ries the town for the mayors office
and everything before him for what
ever he wanted, rescues the lady
charming from the hands of an un-
scrupulous individual who sought her
dishonor, all the while keeping the
audience in screaming laughter, for
the contrast between the appearance
of the professor and his actions is
one of the most clever and funny
things Rogers has ever done. AS
sisting him in this comedy romance
will be found Lila Lee in the prin-
cipal feminine role; Clarence Burton,
Allen Hale, John Fox, George Nichols
and Emily Raft

Hawaiian Volcano
Is Believed Ready
To Spout Red Lava

Hilo Island of Hawaii, T. H,
.JIne 1a-Nobles of the Mystic Shrine
who participate in the June pilgrim
age to Hawaii following the annual
conclave of the organization in San
francisco, probably will have an op-.
portunity of viewing the volcano OF
Kilauea in the midst Of one OF its
rare terrifying spectacular displays,
according to present indications as
internreted by yolcanologists at the
observatory on the brink OF the
crater. -,
The arrival of the Shriners viii
coincide with the beginning of the
summer soIstice in the third week or
June. which brings invariably
great increase in volcanic activity
because of the unusual stresses
placed upon the earth, the yolcanol-
ogists said. At Kilauea particularly
the vast mass of semi molten rock
and lava rises and falls according to
the strains of the seasonal perlods.
and nigh levels of lava are almost
invariably found at the equinoxes
and the June and December solstices,
the scientists said.
The last violent eruption at kilauea
occurred in March 1921. CONSIDER
able interest was manifested TINS
YEAR in the steady rise OF the lava
during the month of February, be
cause of last vear's eruption and the
possibility that it would be repeated
in March. The equinox passed,
however. with the lava column about
100 feet below the rim of the crater.
Ordinarily the lava would drop
considerably on the passing OF the
eouinox. but it continued to rise
without cessation since, with more
pronounced action until the Level
was less than 80 feet below the rim
in the third week of May. Gigantic
crags. the summit of the lava column,
crashed their way upward through
the lakes ana lowered threatenlngiy
more than 100 feet above the lakes
and more than 20 feet above the rim
level. At night the sky has been
crimsoned by the glare of the Whlte-
hot molten lakes.
The lava should continue to rise
until the June solstice, the volcan-
ologists said. Great and spectacular
overflows at the solstice seem almost
certain. they added, and 1t is prop
able that the lava will break through
the side of the mountain and over
whelm the desert country toward the
sea. rs it has done many times before,
plunging its molten mass into the
ocean.

Riverside Park

Another complete change in the
motion picture program at Riverside
Park occurs this evening. Picture
reviewing at the pretty open air
theater is quite the rage at the park.
1t affords comfort. cool and conven-
fence, while offering a high type of
entertainment assured in the excel
lent cinema programs the park is
presenting. The policy of admission
is another big feature at Riverside.
The first eight rows of the monster
airdrome are the free seats and the
reserve section behind this carries
but the nominal charge of ten cents
with the kiddies admitted for 5
cents. Riverside is the picknickers'
paradise, and every day the outing
parties are increasing in number.
Every facility for wonderful time is
assured in the numberless conven-
fences offered at Arizona's largest
and most popular amusement center.
Plenty of shade, lots of benches.
romping grounds galore, lots of
tables-everything conveniently ar
ranged, and to top it off the entire
park crew is ready and willing to as
sist in every way possible that the
outing party may realize enjoyment
in the ultimate. The picnic grounds
and service are all free.
The big pool is of course the CEN
ter of attraction during the hot
weather in Phoenix. There is not
more popular spot in the west than
the 'Phoenix ocean, nor is there a
finer bathing spot than this same
ocean The big slide, the diving
platforms, the RATS, the springboards
and the games and tournaments. the
races, the exhibitions of skill-all
sorts of water games going all the
time. The admission to the pool is
25 cents, the same price obtaining
whether the patron furnishes his own
suit or uses one from Riverside. Up
to five o'clock in the afternoon there
is no gate admittance where the pat
ron purchases pool ticket The
merry -go-round for the kiddies the

NORWAY REDS SAID
D|CKER|NC WITH KING

CHRISTIANIA. May 23-(By A. P.
Mail Seryice)-The king of Norway
as chief executive, the cabinet. and
the Radical party of Premier Blehr
are today all closely allied politically
with and supported by the Commu-
mist party. a group generally credited
with taking orders from the Thlrd
Internationale at Moscow. the Rus-
san organization is pledged to OBJ
taining the dictatorship of the pro-
letariat by revolution against existing
forms of government.
1t is doubtful if the Communists
are supporting the cabinet for MOTH
ing. They are believed to have made
their terms, and as result certain
elements here expect to see further
legislation along communistic lines.
Already Norway has adopted a COM
nereial treaty with the Russian boil
sheviki and granted them diplomatic
rights. The bolsheviki have estao-
lished headquarters in Christlanla
and the red flag flies from the top Oh
their building.
The government today is taxing an
active part in various trades and IN
d1,stries which formerly were prl-
vateiv owned. The tendency is to
"sociaiize" everything. The burden
of taxation is becoming heavier and
heavier. and the end Is not yet. The
latest laws tax incomes and deposits
of foreigners in Norway, and Nor
wegians living abroad, to the extent
of X per cent A foreigner with IN
vestment in a Norwegian Industry
will receive only % per cent OF profits
due him. The government takes the
rest AS a result it is expected that
foreign capital will withdraw from
Norway.
The Communist party-it was until
recently known as the Socialist party
lis said TO have accepted bolshevlk
doctrines and is believed in certain
ouarters to be working for the over
throw of the present government OF
Norway and the establishment OF
a dictatorship on the Russian model.
It's leaders have constant and close
relations with Moscow.
The Communists last fall secured
so seats in the storthing, or national
parliament The storthlng mas 1ou

The strongest faction, the ConserV,

Hard Times Forcing
Marquis From Home
A. ii. Mail ServIee)

LONDON, May 24.-The Marquis
of Londonderry has decided to move
out of Seaham hall, which the family
have occupied for over 100 years, and
sell the contents at auction. The
reason given is that owing to heavy
taxation and the increasing cost OF
keeping up such big place he can
no longer afford to live in it.
Thus the marquis becomes a re-
cruit to the ranks of those noblemen
who have been compelled recently 10
sell or close their ancestral seats
because they can no longer afford to
maintain them.
