Driving With Young Men not Per-

"Such a thing as driving with a
young man was not possible, though
at that time all the men had fine
horses and buggies. But my sister,
being very good horsewoman, was
allowed to ride occasionally with a
young man. Girls were not allowed
to receive visitors without chap
eron being in the room. Mamma
found this part of her duty very
trying, so l was sent to study my
lessons in the east drawing room,
where my sister received her visit
ors; and l certainly enjoyed the sit

As a rule, | thought the conversa-

young man say, laying his hand on
the marble table beside them: Have
you ever seen anyone as cold as this
marble?'
Della answered, composedly: NO.
"Then he said: 4 am looking now
at one whose heart is just as cold
That rather pleased me, but as Del

Charleston was very gay for
few weeks in the winter at that time.
There were three or four balls every
week. Three balls given by the st.
Cecilia Society took place at intervals
Of ten days, for everything had to
be crowded in before Lent came.
These were the most exclusive and
elegant balls of all; but the Jockey
Club ball, which always ended the
race week, was the largest and grand
so exclusive, because it in
cluded all the racing people. The
races were the great excitement of
the winter. Every one went and
every one bet. Gloves and French
sugar-plums came pouring in upon
every girl who had any attention at
all, for that was the only time that
a girl could receive any offering from
a man but flowers.

RIP VAN WINKLE'
GREAT FILM To Be
At THE COLUMBIA

Washington Irving's immortal
classic, rip Van Wrinkle. enacted
into tremendous photoplay specta-
Gle by Thomas Jefferson. who gave
dramatic interpretations of the title
role on the stage, is announced as
the engagement extraordinary at
Mauk's Columbia theater next
Thursday, Friday and Saturday. 1t
will be screened at regular house
prices.
You know-and so does practically
every man, woman and child in
America - the fascinating story of
rip Van Winhle," who slumbered
for 20 years in the catslills. Hend-
rick Hudson and his ghostly crew
the little gnomes with their ten-pins
and their magic liquor-the Dream
land Queen with her be-wigged and
be-ribboned retinue--they're all in
this great film creation.
The screen has seen many an in
teresting picture but never has there
been created production more
pleasing than RIP Van Wrinkle
Thomas Jefferson. in the title role,
assures the finest enactment that il
is possible to give the play One OF
the greatest personal triumphs the
American stage ever knew was reg
istered by the late Joe" jefferson
who. in rip Van. Winkle' made a
household word. And when he passed
on, his son, Thomas Jefferson. took
up the work and his success has even
eclipsed that of his fathers.
The screening of the story lends
an atmosphere not possible in the
stage presentations. The locations
for example. are the exact locale OF
the Washington Irving story, in the
Catskilis. The splendid beauty of the
Catslxills in storm and sun; the re-
vels of Hendrick Hudson and his
ghostly crew: how Rip left home,

est hit of any class in the so-called

They based their stand on the fact
that they We're not showing profit

conference with Mr. Hoover at WASH

tireIy different understanding of their
own situation.
They had been figuring their per-
centages on the war time prices OF
land and products. and they had for
gotten that the rest of us had been
compelled to absorb millions in re-
adjustment of inventory. Now they
realize their mistake-and this. with
the fact that SHOWS and rains have

THE CONCERT" To Be
FEATURE At RIAL To
THEATER THURSDAY

Another triumph in comedy Is an
nounced by the Fialto in the entire
program to hold next Thursday and
Friday, in the presentation OF the
vaudeville road show. and the Cold
wyn comedy success-"The Concert. "
The Concert" it will be remem-
bered was one or the most success
ful plays David Belasco ever brought
70 Broadway. It provided the dis
tinguished Leo Ditrichstien with his
greatest role, and under the very
competent direction and production
GoldWyn has given the work. it looms
as one of the most fascinating OF the
screen comedy hits.
The is a notable one-featuring
Lewis S. Stone, Mabel Julienne Scott,
Myrtle Stedman. Raymond Hatton,
Gertrude Astor, Frances Hall. and
others of enviable reputation in the
realm of screenland.
The charm of the production lies
in the two very potent factors.
First the action is ineligible and
highly humorous. and second. the un-
foldment is swift and convincing.
Lewis S. Stone in the role OF the
famous pianist brings to the picture
what has been called one of the most
highly enjoyable comedy chara cter
roles the screen has yet known. He
is too well known to require intro
duction to screen fans. True it is
he has been seen for the most part
in the heavy dramatic tales Of the
north, but his work in this laughfest
will prove one of the most delight
full of purposes. Opposite him, play
ing the role of his wife in Myrtle
Stedman. and here is another bright
Arizona republican., 1922-04-16

spot in the lineup. Raymond Hatton
has the second male lead-that of a
young physician whose impression
able young wife-portrayed by Mabel
Julienne Scott-faiis under the in
fluence of the maestro, and believes
herself in love with him.
AS the clever author has written
the tale Augustus, besides his love
for the piano, is very vane, and
falls for the flattery the fair sex
lavish upon him. His wife is about
the only woman who really under
stands the man. She is patient with
his shortcomings, lenient with his
rheumatism, and long suffering in
the many neglects he heaps upon her.
For she loves the man, and knows
that sometime he viii come to his
senses
When Delphine. the wife of the
physician and a student of the great
pianist, imagines herself in love with
"her soul mate"-and together they
plan trip to a secluded spot in the
Adirondacks-- both feel that love is
tie motive for the wild escapade.
But the wife OF the maestro and the
husband of the student learn Of the
trip and plan to unscramble the mat
rimonial scramble. They reach the
cabin ahead Of the runaways. and the
surprise Of the pair may be imagined
when they walk in and find the
fooled husband and wife together.
1t is the physician who answers the
riddle by calming remarking they
have made an exchange OF wives.
Many and humorous are the situa-
tions arising from the complications
which ensue, through which runs the
merry vein of the theme-of course
ending with perfect understanding,
and the happiest Of happy denoue-
ments.
"The Concert" is bound to be very
favorably received. and should make
an excellent balancing picture for
the vaudeville entertainment.
