The famous characters OF
Thackery's novel, Vanity Fair"
live again upon the screen IN
Goldwyn's perturbation Of that
great book as presented at Moore's
Rialto Theater this week. Each
of the characters is acted with
the sharp and straight stroke OF
an etcher. The picturesque cos
tunes Of the early nineteenth
century-at the time of the battle
of Waterloo-add attractiveness
and color to the production. The
photography is clear and the light

production showing the trained
hand of it's rtist-director.
Thackeray's designing little bag

central character Of the story,

an eye-filing picture as the green
eyed and clever little Becky, who
lived by exercising her wits and
her wiles upon her many mascu-
line admirers.
While there are several spec

as the ball in Brussels on the eve
OF the Battle OF Waterloo and
glimpses of that historic battle it.

JACK Hollis
NEWEST IS
GOOD

A faSt-moVing comedy drama,
the scenes of which are laid in
England and this country, is Jack
Hollis new Paramount picture,
"A Gentleman OF Leisure" which
opened q weeks engagement yes
terday at Loew's Columbia as the
chief feature Of a delightful bill.
It mixes English dignity with
American pep and ginger and with
laughable results. The picture
presents scenes of high society as
we'll as of the underworld, and af-
fords Mr.. Holt role of that pc
culiar type Of comedy which made
his recent vehicles, Making a
Man" and "Nobody's Money" SO
successful.
There are no tears in this pro-
duction, but there are numerous
scenes that thrill. The scene or
the fight between, Mr.. Holt and a
burglar at night is one of the best
ever staged before a camera. The
burglar, a. comedy character, and
Sir John Blount, pompous Eng
lishman who is constantly search
ing for his monocle, provide many
laughs. Among other interesting
scenes which distinguish "a Gen.
tlen7an Of Leisure there is one in
which Mr.. Holt, parading as an
internationally known crook, and
the burglar break into the home
OF a millionaire police official, the
daughter Of whom Mr.. Holt, as the
hero, loves. Another scene pre-
sents a poolroom in full operation.
"A Gentleman of Leisure" Is a
picture filled with action and
laughs. 1t has novelty and genu-
inc punch. Directed by Joseph
Henabery, adapted by Jack Cum
bingham and Anthony Coldeway
from the play by John Stapleton
and Pr G. Wodehouse, the char
acters portrayed by one Of the
most popular of screen stars and
an unexcelled cast of players, 1t is
a screen offering of extraordinary
interest.
Mr.. Holt has the role Of Rob-
ert Pitt, a wealthy young man.
Sigrid Holmquist plays the role
Of Molly Creedon, and the support
ing cast includes CG/json Ferguson,
Alec Francis, Adele Harrington,
Frank Nelson, Alfred Allen, Nadeen
Paul and Alice Queensberry.
The management of Loew's Co
lumbia has supplemented the
featured attraction with a notable
list Of added screen and musical
subjects, including the latest Mack
Sennett mirthmaker, NIP and
Tuck" the International News
views and a splendid symphonic
overture by the Columbia Sym
phony Orchestra, under Leon
Brusilof.

FINE DOUBLE
BILL AT
METRO

When Henry Sydnor Harrison
wrote his delightful novel of "V.

character, DIR. Vivian, a man who
had learned that love is the meas
ure of all things and that the
geatest happiness comes to those
who think Of others first and
dedicate their lives to service.
Tristram Upper adopted the same
theme for his story of "TerWil-
Tiger" but developed it in an en-
tirely different manner, although
no less effectively. Translated

FOLK
BUSTIN' In
SOCIETY

There Is a note Of sadness In
the fact that Emerson Hough. the
famous writer of Western fiction,
author of 1.-THE Mississippi Bub-
ble," "54:40 or Fight" as well as
that splendid cinema success of
1928, 1.-THE Covered Wagon" died
just at the time he was coming
into prominence as one Of the
most popular screen writer's OF the
day. Although Washington has
not vet seen his epic, THE Gov.
cred Wagon" It does have a
chance to see a fine picture from
the pen of the same writer in
1.-THE Man Next Door" the film
feature at Loew's Palace all this
week.
'"The Man Next Door," as a
story, was read by thousands, but
as a screen picture 1t will un.
Questionably be seen by millions.
It has received q skilled adaptac
ton at the hands Of c. Graham
Baker, while Victor Schertzinger,
who directed 1t, has invested the
story with a splendid cast that
includes the beautiful Alice Cal.
houn, Jimmy Morrison. David
Terrence, Frank Sheridan, Adele
Harrington and others.
The story revolves around Bon
ME Bell Wright, the toTlboy
daughter Of a wealthy Wyoming
cattleman. The motherless Bonnie
Bell has been reared bp the cow
punchers on a great ranch, and
when she ID sixteen years her
father suddenly realizes that she
must be educated and trained into
a young lady of culture and re-
finement. When Bonnie Bell fin
ishes her schooling in the East
her father decides that she must
enjoy the luxuries his millions can
provide in the city.
In the West all people are
neighborly, and Bonnie Bell and
her father believed that society IN
the city was similarly charming.
Through bitter lessons Bonnie
Bell learns how shallow and self
ish smart society people are. In
her loneliness she makes friends
with the gardener Of the estate
next door, and her struggle and
ultimate finding of happiness in
poverty makes 1.-THE Man Next

offerings on the screen.

The Alarm Clock

A VERY HOPWOOD'S new

A VERY HOPWOOD'S new
1 = est rib-tickler, "The
Alarm Clock" settled down
for another week of hilarious
popularity at the Belasco last
night. To say that this piece
is assured of a lengthy New
York run is to vouchsafe an
almost obvious surety, for
Hopwood has concocted out
Of the original French farce
a recipe for laughter and
situation that will carry it
far.
The very righteousness of
the theme idea-the iniquit-
Gus conduct of three hay
seeds imported into fast
living bachelors home to re-
fine the atmosphere-gives
an idea of the motive power
behind the action, though no
amount of telling can substi-
tute for the delicious humor
evoked by the cast, even
between lines.
The cast is headed by
Bruce McRae, supported by
a great assembly, including
Blanche Ring, Marion Coax

Hackett, Gordon Ash, Charles
Latte, John Daily Murphy,
Carl Anthony, Cora Wither-
spoon, and Mary Phillips.
Since it's initial presenta-
ton a week ago, the piece
Eas been under the watchful
eye of Avery Hopwood at
every performance, with the
result that at least a half
dozen new laughs have been
added and the entire play
shortened somewhat.

GREAT ADVANTAGE OF TREES
Argument That Roads Do Not Dry Out
Readily After Rains Does Hold
Good Nowadays.

The forestry department of Mime
sofa Is said to have aroused an active
enthusiasm in the state for securing
shaded highways and the department
will this year plant 10000 trees along
the roadways and plans to add nn
equal number each successive year.
In Pennsylvania similar movement
Is under way.
One objection heretofore to shade
trees by the roadsides has been that
the roads did not dry out readily after
rains, but that mudholes fingered
Since road building according to more
modern methods has been so generally
adopted, this argument Is no longer
good, says the Indianapolis Star.
Thousands Of miles of cement and
asphalt pavement have been laid In
states between Florida and Nebraska,
and at first objection was made to
tree planting along such roads on thc
ground that the tree roots would up
lift or crack the. surface. As this
rarely happens In city streets. no goo,

reason is- evIdsnt why il should Be-
different along country roads, and, In
fact, those who have experimental say
if the trees are set far enough back
no Ill result follows. Much would de-
pend, Of course, on the character Of
the tree, whether or not it had tap
root or spreading surface roots. An
intelligent person would hardly recon-
mend the planting of beech tree near
a pavement.
1t has been realized that cement and
asphalt roads radlate heat on sum-
mer days that dirt and gravel roads do
not, and that wayside trees, always vel
come to summer travellers not only for
their cooling shade, but for their soft
ening Of highway glare, are especial
ly desirable with the new. pavements.
Trees grow slowly and the progress
of planting will keep pace only with
the public sentiment In its favor, 70
that at best 1t will be many years
before our Lincoln and Dixie high

shaded thoroughfares that they may
become. The time will doubtless at
