BOUGHT AND PAID
FOR" |SFEATURE At
RIALT0 SATURDAY

Another trinity OF talent extraor-
binary is represented in Paramount S
production OF Bought and Paid
For" scheduled for the Rialto for
an engagement starting next Satur-
day. in William de Mile as the di-
Sector and Jack Holt and Agnes
Ayres as the co-stars.
Bought and Paid For'' will be
remembered as the most successful
of the George Broadhurst stage plays.
1t is nothing short of a thunderbolt
OF sensation in the theme it dis
cusses and in the terrific situations
and climaxes 1t builds. Primarily a
story of married life, it digs right
into the subject to unearth a condi-
ton prevalent in many homes of
wealth today--homes wherein the
show of affiuence and luxury is but
the thinnest kind of veneer over
the actual conditions in the lives of
the parties bound in marriage.
There is unusually an If to per-
feet happiness in marriage. Could
the mutual consideration and court
esy of the first few months be main
tained through the years, marriage
would have no ifs"
And on this basis the story un-
folds, driving home truth after truth
with the force of terrific drama
building situations that will keen
every spectator keyed to the highest
pitch of excitement and expectancy;

ences and drown their every care It
is the sort OF picture that the
theater goers will thoroughly enjoy
seeing.
There's a real love story in it, of
the young Irishman who has come to
this country leaving his sweetheart
behind and who fails to hold a job
long enough TO earn the passage to
bring her to be his wife. And when
she finds another way across there
start series of complications that
make it distinctly a different sort
of love story from any that this
theater has ever known before.
Colleen Moore. one of the most
refreshing players on the screen to-
day, has the leading role. There's S
fire and sparkle to her work and her
role is unique one Ralph Graves,
who scores such a big hit in D. w.
Griffith's Dream Street." has the
leading male role in the production.
A Hall Room Boys comedy and a
Pathe News reel also are included on
the columbia program for Thursday,
Friday and Saturday.

VAUDEVILLE BILL
AND PICTURES At
R|A[TO THURSDAY

The combination program of vau-
deville and motion pictures to be
featured by the Rialto next Thurs
day and Friday looks like another
winner. in both departments.
For the vaudeville bill four excep-
tionally clever acts have been Sc
cured. and lovers of the diversified
form of amusement will have a real
treat in store for them in this en-
gagement.
The entertainment will run the
gamut of novelty and variety. There
will be plenty of music, lots of dane
ing, special stunts and many clever
innovations.
For the picture feature William
Fox sends '"The Lady From Long
acre. starring William Russell.
Russell has always been a popular
screen actor. His versatility is Won
derful He has essayed the role OF
the Western range rider equally as
effectively as he had handled the
strictly society roles" He is very
virile actor and brings to every role
a thorough and sympathetic por-
trayal.
In .The Lady From Longacre. his
part is that of a member of the Eng
lish nobility who persists in shock
ing his people by his untoward ac-
tions and his wholly unconventional
style of living. More than once he
has wandered away from the said
path of the nobility to find recrea-
tion and relaxation among the more
human folk Of the sporting and the
atrical fraternity. His name, coupled
with all his titles, would preclude
his even being spoken to in the
''plebeian" sphere, so he takes TONY"
and it is by this sobriquet that he
IS known.
On one of his voyages he puts in
a particularly joyous night and has
as his guests a leading singer from
the Gayety theater, the leading
heavyweight pugilist Of the day and
a king and his prime minister. fugi-
tives from a foreign land, seeking
safety in the attempt TO lose them
selves in the hustle and hustle Of
the white lights OF London. The
strangely met party finally breaks
up and Tony starts out with the
prizefighter. They notice a lady ap-
parently being annoyed by a couple
Apf ruffians, and Immediately go to
her rescue. This was in the Long
acre section. The lady acknowledges
the chivalry of the men and accepts
the escort of Tony to her apart
ment. 1t is the next day that he re-
ceived word of her desire 10 see MN,
and Tony calls. to find that she
wants him to pawn some of her
Jewels for her, she fearful of at
tempting il herself. Tony takes the
jewels to the jeweler and he learns
that they are the jewels OF the Ia
nous Princess Isabel of Livadia, the
clue to the identity of the lady from
Longacre. Tony is interested. and,
towing adventure, decides to see the
hing through. He has not long to.
wait. The princess is fugitive
from her home country: 1t is in re-
volt, and even then the paid assassins
and kidnapers are close on her trail.
What with fights and rescues, and
a chase that led over the ocean, and
finally the show down" In her own
country, there Is enough romance
and excitement to satisfy the most
blase fan. The story unfolds two
romances and is heightened by a
very infectious line of comedy.
The comedy for this bill will fea-
sture Clyde Cook and is styled "The
Huntsman."
OF course, the International News
will also be a feature attraction.

William de Mile has become re
nowned for his humanness and art
istry in presenting dramas of mar
genius were found in such produc-
tions as "Midsummer Madness
"The Lost Romance" What Every
Woman knows" and Miss Lulu
Bett.' His is the art that combines
luxurious settings with convincing
and natural embodiment, sacrificing
no element of humanness for the
spectacular, and yet sacrificing no
element of elaborateness and brill
liant display where the script calls
for it.
Bought and Paid For" being es-
sentially a story of marriage where
wealthy parties are concerned, Will
lam de Mile has gone to the extreme
limit in the wondrous settings, the
luxurious appointment, the stunning
gowns. and the ll-encompassing at
mosphere OF affluence manifested in
practically every scene.
He has followed George Broad
hurst's play practically to the letter,
though, OF course, enhancing the
value with the much more elastic
scope OF the camera in the matter
OF completeness and comprehensive
ness, to say nothing of the beauty
and splendorl reached in the general
appointment n background.
Bought and Paid For" has been re-
viewed at length in many of the pic
ture magazines this month so that
the fans are all more or less familiar
with the attraction. The presenta-
ton of Jack Holt and Agnes Ayres.
both stars in their own rights in
this drama, is a stroke of artistry
that guarantees to the picture devo-
tee the ultimate in perfection, and
to this must be added that the sup
porting company includes such play
ers as Walter HERS. Ethel Wales,
Leah Wyant and Bernice Frank.
with this feature another Tooner-
