Every screen fan in America is an
admirer of Cecil b. DeMille's pro-
duction. They have proven not only
the most spectacular, the most ell
egant and the most sumptuous pic
lures but they have likewise never
failed to register a story Of trenl-
endous heart interest and powerful
human appeal Such pictures as
For Better. For Worse" why
Change Your Wife" Don't Change
Your Husband, "Old Wives for
New" THE Affairs Of Anatol" Male
and Female have demonstrated that
beyond all question
And 1t is out natural that intense
Interest is expressed in the coming
engagement of his latest production,
J Saturday Night" scheduled for its
Phoenix showing at the Rialto be-
ginning Saturday.
Saturday Night Is as far removed
from anything Cecil b. DeMille has
before offered the screen lover as
day is from night. Written by Jeanie
Macpherson. responsible for so many
or the DeMille stories. Saturday
Night is a dual romance. reaching
both She top and bottom of life,
bringing together people from the OPP
posite stations in world affairs, to
unfold a story that explores every
phase OF New York life. and even
take the enthralled reviewer to the
heart OF Coney Island. where many
of the most important scenes in the
production are revealed.
In elegance and magnificent gowns,
in elaborate appointment, in spec
tacular settings and gorgeous dis
plays, Saturday Night" strikes
new plane even for DeMille who is
conceded the most artistic director
in movieland. One scene alone--the
bathing party. is bewildering, beau
tiful affair. The party is held in an
illuminated bowl mirrored to produce
the most grotesque effects. Those
who saw forbidden Fruit will re-
member the glass setting DeMille
used in that picture. The bathing
scene in Saturday Night outdis-
tances even that elaborate scene, In
the magnificent plane it reaches.
And with all it's beauty. DeMille
has, with the skill of a master. clev-
erly blended melodr&matic climaxes.
The realistic crash between train
and an automobile, on a. trestle hum
dreds of feet above the ground is
calculated to prove the most thrill
ling thing any DeMille picture has
ever included. And this is quickly
followed by the fire in the tenement
house. Here again has realism in its
highest expression been reached. It
II repeatedly stated In the current
photoplay magazines that these two
scenes are the most remarkable seen
on the screen in many months, and
they both come at important climaxes
in the story.

AS 'The Black Panthers Cub" or
the daughter Of 'F'austine," Miss
Reed returns to the screen after
prolonged absence in one of the most
entertaining and spectacular roles she
has ever essayed.
Scarcely less important Is the sup
