Manager Herbert Kinney will in
augurate a news summer poncy at
The Rylander next Monday when
the balcony of that popular play
house will be opened to its patrons
at reduced admission.
These new prices have been de-
termined upon after a careful
analysis of the desires of patrons
Of the Rylander, and with the def
mite purpose to make available in
Americas the highest type of pic
lures at lowest possible prices.
A fact not generally known is
that the Rylander auditorium is so
designed as tot make each seat
within its broad expanse practical
ly equi-distant from the center of
the stage. This places balcony
seats practically as near the
screen as those on the lower floor
and the angle at which the pic
lures are projected enable these
seated in that part of the house
to see the sharp outlines of pic
lures clearly from orchestra seats.
The only difference is in the price,
and in order to introduce the bal
cony seats to movie fans here,
Manager Kincey has worked out a
new price schedule covering seats
there.

Many Problems Face Wife in
"The Lonely
Road"


1t is seldom that one looks for
a problem in picture; what we
want when we go to the threatre
is entertainment But when we
find production that induces
thought, that offers a solution to
problem that is far too common,
and at the sam time combines
the element of entertainment val
ue, then we have an interesting
picture.
That is said to be the type of
production that is being offered
in Katherine MasDonald's latest re-
lease, The Lonely Road" playing
at the Rylander Theatre next Wed
nesday. Add to Miss MacDonald's
own beauty and personal charm
the fact that she is supported by
a strong company including Kath-
leen Kirkham, William Conklin,
James NELL and Eugene Besserer.
Charles LOgue, the author, be-
gins his story where one usually
expects stories to end-with mar
riage; and, starting at an unex-
pected place, he goes along a
devious and thrilling path.
Katherin> Macdonald plays the
part of the life partner of a man
who is "too proud to let his wife
earn money" and denies her the
pleasures and liberties that are
the lot of most women of today.
Sc teaches him lesson that brings
a happy solution to an everyday
problem.
