"A Virgin Paradise" the sensation

special which made a tremendous i'm
preston while running on Boardway
New York. will come to the Suee
Theatre next Friday for a two days
run. The story. dealing with life in
South Sea island Jungle and with
civilized hypocrisy, was written by
Hiram Percy Maxim, the famous n-
ventor, especially to provide material
for William Fox super-special.
The @rc1o1 include the destruction
of nc lai ~ volcano erup-
ton, III tie ath of the entire
population except two persons, and
the burning of a palatial country
place on Long Island, New York
The survivors on the island are
the infant daughter of missionary
Gratia Latham, and her native nurse.
The nurse dies while Gratia is still
a child, and she lives on with only
lions, apes and other wild animals
as her companions.
The death Of an uncle in New
York leaves Gratia heir to 100000
GOO, and then relatives charter ship
and go in search of her She is taken
TO the Long Island home, where she
finds it difficult TO adapt her half
savage nature to the requirements OF
her radically altered condition in
life. Least of all can she submit
tamely to the purpose of a young
man of the family to marry her for
her millions. Her way of resenting
his unwelcome attentions is worthy
of her upbringing as the associate
and companion of wild beasts.

BIBLE IN MOTION
PICTURES COMING

An announcement OF more than
passing interest is that of the com.
ing of the first episode of the much.
discussed serial photoplay of The
Bible, which will be shown at the
Rialto Theatre, Wednesday of each
week, beginning next Wednesday.
Primarily, an unusual interest has
been aroused because of the fact
that while this new series is educa-
tional in value, each one.reel episode
OF 1t is replete with most absorbing
entertainment of the most remark
able variety, and coming as It does
as only part Of an evenings pro-
gram, It will prove useful in filling a
void which has heretofore been com
mon. In short, the filming of The
Bible in episode form, thus allowing
fifty-two weeks for its complete pre-
sentatlon, without depriving the NOV
ing picture audience of its wonted
variety of diversion, is fortune
arrangement which is sure to popu-
larize what seems sure to become
generally recognized as one of the
greatest achievements of the screen.
This first episode is OF course
Creation as set forth in the Genesis,
and 1t is depicted as only the wonder
fully visualizing power of the motion
picture camera can depict it. The
tremendously dramatic mir lie
wrought by the supreme being in
making the world and the various
forms of life upon it are shown with
almost breath.taking realism in this
picture, 1t is said The starting of
the centuries-old human drama-thet
birth of Adam and Eve-as brought
into pictorial realism in this cinema
effort is reported to be more than
merely an unforgettable incident but
an indelibly impressed drama of the
highest form--the thing every human
being is inevitably interested in to an
unlimited degree. Other episodes of
this series will be presented from
time to time

NEW WALLACE REID PICTURE
IMMORTALIZES THE FLIVVER

If ever a picture was correctly de-
scribed in advance, then this can be
said of Wallace Reid's latest Para
mount picture, across the Cont
nent,' which will have its initial pre-
sentation at the Rialto Theatre next
Friday and Saturday. This is an
automobile picture filled with thrills
and unique situations.
1t is an automobile story built upon
nerve, perhaps the greatest example
of which is the entry of flivver in
great trans-continental race. And
the flivver wins, through sheer merit.
IT is a picture which immortalizes
the poor mans car.
An eighty-five mile per hour "bug!"
This small car, perhaps the fastest
for it's size ever built, was especially
constructed and equipped to hold
the honor place in the transconti-
mental race which is the principal
feature of Wallace Reid's new Para
mount picture, Across the Conti-
nent'
The machine is about the size of
a stripped-down Ford. It was
equipped with all the features of the
racing cars, however, including Delco
ignition system, Miller racing car
buretor and Parfecto two-speed axle.
The car was geared three-to-one
and was capable of attaining speed
of eighty-five miles per hour, al
though, according to the star, it was
hard to hold it to the road when it
reached its maximum speed.
Eddie Heffernan, expert mechani-
clan. who was forced to retire from
the racing game because of injuries
received in speed contest, spent
several weeks getting the car in
shape and perfect running order, and
then acted as nurse" to the car
during the making of the picture.
