MANHATTAN TOPS
EXCEPTIONAL BILL

IA The Rialto again offers an excep-
! uonal bill of vaudeville and motion
pictures in the engagement starting
today o. Elaine Hammerstein in "The
Miracle of Manhattan" and the acts
to be presented by Jessie and Hubert
and Harrison and Holloway, the
"banjomaniac.' The entire musical
program will also be changed in
every detail.
Elaine Hammerstein's visit marks
her first appearance at the Rialto,
and it is a source Of much satisfac-
tion to the patrons OF the house of
exceptional features that this clever
girl Is now in the roster of Rialto
favorites
The Miracle of Manhattan" the
premiere vehicle. is a smashing story
4et modern New York. brilliantly APP
pointed. and deeply appealing in its
theme. 1T likewise presents many
exciting phases and sustains Won
derful suspense throughout the orig
inal plot.
The stars role is that of young
society girl who is about to be mar
ried for social reasons only One
night, she is attracted to the kitchen
of her home, through hearing noise.
Investigating, she finds a poorly clad
girl, eating ravenously of food she
has appropriated. Further question
ing brings out the information that
the girl has been in New York two
months. She is at the end of her
resources and unable to find work
was force dto steal the food she is
eating
Sarcastically remarking that any
good girl should be able to go
straight" for more than two months,
the society girl offers to take but
$13 and prove her contention. The
unfortunate girl is sent to the coun-
try estate of the society family, and
attired in the clothes of the intruder
the society miss launches forth bold
ly on her career. 1t is not over a
week before she sees the folly Of
her contention.
A girl alone in New York, with
little or no capital. is in a precarious
position. On the last day of the
test. our heroine obtains work in
cabaret of a resort on the east side.
There she is noticed by Larry Mar
shall, a former gunman and ganster.
He at once scents that the girl does
not belong in the environment and
without question assumes the posi-
ton Of her protector. 1t is we'll that
he does this, as there are several men
in the place who have cast envious
eyes at the pretty stranger.
The drama then ruShes headlong
into a series of the most complicated
intrigue eliminating in a tremend-
Gus climax in which Larry figures
as the central character. The epi-
sode gives the girl a chance to es-
cape. and her return to her home
finds the fiance suspicious. The
girls reticence, together with the
newspaper reports accentuate that
suspicion and an investigation re-
veals the means through which the
romanse begun on the east side is
continued. Just what happens when
the under five" rubs elbows with
the upper ten is material that will
prove perfectly satisfactory to the
most critical picture fan and proves
q most admirable vehicle for pretty
Elaine Hammerstein.
The comedy is ''P. d. O." another
riot of fun and laughter. The In
ternational News contains many in
teresting views of the recent events
IN Rome incident to the selection OF
the new pope. Geo. j. Hayes at the
mighty Wurlitzer and Carol Reeds
baby syncopated symphony orchestra
are furnishing the musical program
in great style.
Wednesday brings the engagement
of the stars of the Sonora Grand
Opera company, presenting operate
gems and popular hits, all in cos
tune, which will be served as an
added attraction, the picture pro-
gram offering Betty Compson IN
'The Little Minister"
