Riverside PARK

Another complete change in the
motion picture program is announced
for Riverside's pretty airdrome to-
night, and the lovers of the photo
play will again enjoy their favorite
pastime amid the very appreciated
environment the park offers. Picture
reviewing at Riverside is now one of
the most popular items of the famous
resort. The large free section of
eight rows still remains in vogue,
while the charge for the reserved seat
section remains at 10 cents. The
kiddies' price is cents.
The pool, with its vast expanse of
clear, clean fresh water daily at
tracts hundreds to the Phoenix
ocean" "A swim a day keeps the
heat away is the slogan for Phoe-
nicians during the summer months.
and this slogan naturally turns ones
thoughts to Riverside and TO the
largest outdoor pool in the West,
where every known device for the
thorough enjoyment of the water
sports is at hand. The pool charge
remains at 25 cents, With no gate adj
mission where the pool ticket is pur-
chased. This price obtains whether
the patron has his own suit or uses
one of Riverside's.
Dancing to Carol Reeds music is
irresistible with the lovers of the light
fantastic, and each evening this in
vincible organization is on hand to
furnish the inspiration at the mon
ster ballroom, where the booth ar
rangement is unexcelled, the seating
plan the very perfection of conven-
ience, and the refreshment service is
at the convenience of the public
throughout the evening.

wealthy circles of modern society,
'Beauty's Worth" displays a wonder
land Of beauty in the settings, gowns
and general investiture. This is es-
pecially true during the latter phases
of the picture, scenes which repre-
sent a brilliant charade performance,
distinguished by a smartness and
sumptiousness that will prove an eye
pleasing treat.
"Beauty's Worth" finds the star as
Prudence Cole" little Quaker
maid who has been brought up under
the strict surveillance of her two
straight laced aunts in quiet little
town Unsophisticated, demure and
retiring, the girl is not unhappy, for
Ignorance is bliss" and she is not
aware that there is anything lacking
in her life.
The biggest event in her career
comes when Henry Garrison, and his
mother-the former childhood
sweetheart of Prudence, pay visit
to the family. The Garrison have
long since moved to the big city and
are leaders in society. Henry, on
seeing Prudence!s drab attire secret
ly hates her, though he refrains from
showing it, and paints lurid pictures
Of the great world outside. He has
awakened romance in the heart of
the girl, and when Mrs. Garrison in
vites Prudence to spend short va
cation at Haven, a fashionable wat
ering place, the girls cup of happi-
ness is oyerflowing. With her chum
Jane. Prudence arrives at Haven, and
is met by mockery and ridicule on
all sides The rouged, painted, rattle
10 ,f Snft L.
merry sport of her clothes, and Hen
ry humilitates her by showing
marked neglect to her, and marked
attention to Amy Tillson, a drug
store beauty whose only claim for
distinction lies in her ability to skill
fully use the lip stick, the eye beadS,
and rouge. When Prudence appears
in her Quaker bathing suit--fun runs
riot. and the girl humilitated beyond
endurance wisely refrains from join
ing in the water sports. Still in the
matter of a great joke, the young
idiots persuade Prudence to ask
Cheyne Rovein, a stand -offish"
artist to stage a charade performance
at the hotel. To their utmost surprise
the artist agrees and then stuns them
by selecting Prudence at the leading
lady. If ever there was transforna-
tion--the night OF the performance
was surely it. Prudence, thanks to
the suggestions of the artist is radi-
ant in her costume. Without paint or
powder, without lip sticks. or eye
lash pencil or eye beading, her genu
inc beauty makes the camouflaged
flappers look like decorations after
a severe rainstorm, and Henry, oh
how that boy fell. And oh what a re-
versa he found when Prudence
would hear none of his proposal of
marriage, nor his apology for his ne
glect. After floundering about for a
spell, he wisely hit for the tall uncut,
and left the artist and Prudence free
for the enjoyment of their courtship
"Beauty's Worth" at this point de-
veloping into mighty appealing ro-
nance.
A brilliant cast supports the star,

been provided for the thorough en-
joyment Of day in the open.
Next Tuesday. the Fourth of July,

celebration the Salt River valley has
yet known. In honor OF tho nations

with the Arizona Republican, has ar
ranged a program which includes

races, endurance contests, kiddies'

valley will be represented in the
great crowds which will assemble at
Arizona's largest and most popular
amusement center to celebrate the
holiday. 1t has aroused no end OF in
terest already, and this interest will
be at fever heat by the dawning of
the glorious Fourth.
