RIALTO PROGRAM

brilliant program embracing
several acts of exceptional vaude-
vile, combined with the screening
OF Rex Ingram's latest production
"The Conquering Power" in which
Rudolph Valentino and Alice Terry
essay the leading roles, the picture
program augmented by a Mack Sen
nett comedy and the international
News, all presented against a back
ground of wonderful musical settings
and specialties is the announcement
from the Rialto in the attraction TO
obtain at the house Of exceptional
features for three days starting to-
day.
IN tho vaudeville division. we find
the bin leading off with Jessie and
Hubert, whose specially has been
very graciously received all over the
various circuits of vaudeville time.
1t is fast and snappy, novel and en-
tirely original and titled "a Pair of

dialogue and clever comedy, oppor-
tunity for delightful entertainment in
the way OF talking, whistling ana
singing Jessie and Hubert are head
line people, their act a. feature spec
ialty and it is bound to prove a great
success during its engagement at the
Rialto
And equally as prominent in the
vaudeville world are Harrison and
Holloway, "banjomaniacs." whom the
theatrical critics report as people
"who make banjo speak in every
language" They feature jazz and
popular music, as well as semi clas-
sizes and classics. 1t is one of the
very finest musical acts travelling.
and here again is the excellency of
the Rialto's program very forcibly
emphasized.

MAN Of MYSTERY IS
STRAND ATTRACTION
To OPEN ON SUNDAY

There IS no more fascinating sub
iect in the world today than the
psychic forces nor one that has
claimed the attention of more bril-
liant thinkers. And there is no more
battling demonstration Of this force
before the public today than that
expressed by Alendale, the miracle
man. the super mystery man VINO
starts his engagement at the Strand
Sunday. Alendale is the sensation
of the nation. He has upset all the
dope He has invaded field, and
for this reason alone, he is not in any
sense of the word to be confused with
any of the so-called mind readers
or spirit workers" that have from
time to time toured the country. Hls
work is supremely alone. He has baf-
fled the post studious; he has puz-
zled the most arduous and conscient-
ious scholars and scientists; he has
challenged all the accepted theories
and exploded the recognized obserya-
tions: he has set agog with wonder
ment vast audiences all over the
country. and it has been the rule
that every city he has visited has
been more vitally interested in his
work than in anything that has be-
fore been brought to the attention Of
its, public.
And the reason Is perhaps con-
tanned in his sincerity of purpose and
his so far removing himself from any
trace of the environment of the "crys-
tai gazers" and wonder workers"
that his demonstration must stand
pre- -eminently alone and unrivaled.
He uses no stage: on the contrary
he works in the audience; he uses
no lighting schemes: on the contrary
every light In the theater is burn
ing. and a flood of light makes his
every move always plainly visible to
everyone in the building. No "crys-
tails" or cabinets nor illusion
cloths" no sHundu turbans" nor ''se-
ance boxes" Not Alendale. He con-
vinces the most skeptical that he
uses no trick nor device, that he Is
in collusion with no one by inviting
and urging examination at every
performance.

ards a. Mace for this engagement al

Francisco policeman. IT is thrill
ing story OF the Frisco underworld,
and gives Hart a great chance 10
display the remarkable versatility
which has ever been associated with
his career. before the lens.
His portrayal is that of a former
crook, who regenerated through love,
and the performance OF a great duty,
awoke TO the better things Of life,
and he undertakes to run to earth
the very gang of which he was for
merly a. member. Thoroughly con-
versant with every nook and corner
of the haunts of the underworld,
known far and wide to all the deni-
zens Of the neighborhood, his task
becomes doubly hard, and it Is this
nature of the plot which gives II its
terrific dramatic value. The unfold
