What are the attributes of a

CENTRAL
"FrOnt Page Story

The most realistic newspaper
story that has found its way
to the screen in many seasons
is the attraction for the first
four days of this week at Gran
dall's Central. II is "a Front
Page Story and is not concerned
with murders nor even a mystery.
On the contrary, it unfolds a
humorous and at times gently
satirical narrative of small-town
controversies, and the manner in
which a newcomer with a sense
of humor and the tact of a diplo-
mat finally snoothed out the
quarrel that had ragged for years
between the mayor of Durstine
and the editor of the Gazette.
The pivotal characters in this
distinctly American subject are
portrayed by skilled group Of
players led by Edward Horton,
Edith Roberts. James Corrigan,
Buddy Messenger, Lila Leslie,
and host of others.
The added attraction is Charlie
ChaDln in Shoulder Arms" re-
gnrdrd by many as the finest bit
or pantOmimic art extant.

TWINFEATURE
PROGRAM AT
RIALTO

"Kick In!' Just what the sig.
nificance of this title might be,
we cannot quite figure out; nor
why so lusty brain child OF no
less distinguished parentage than
Willard Mack should have such
an appellation inflicted upon it.
But, upon reconsidering, we might
say the kick part of it is APP
propriate enough. 1t has kick
and then some. Such a combina-
ton of dramatic values, which
range all the way from light farce
to stark tragedy, is seldom seen
in one picture-really, it runs
the gamut of the dramatic scale.
If one of the thirty-seven
dramatic situations Is missing in
this picture, we, failed to note its
absence.
To prove the fallacy OF the
well-known saying that ''once a
crook, always a crook and to
show that crooks are more danger
Gus than the denizens Of the
underworld, may be found in
politics and in the homes Of the
socially prominent, or so-called
better class" is the theme of
Kick In
Mystery, melodrama, intimate
glimpses of the underworld,
political corruption, constitute
the principal ingredients Of this
bit of dramatic and the whole
favored with that delicious whole
someness that characterizes all of
Bert Lytell's pictures.
Our criticism of the picture
would be that certain parts ap-
pear. bit strained and overdone,
which is the result, probably, of
having attempted to much.
The cast of players Is especially
good. Though the prinipal roles
are enacted by Bert Lytell and
Betty Compson, May. McAvOy
and Gareth Hughes have parts of
no mean Importance, either.
The Coue film is the second
important feature on the bill.
This eminent autosuggestionist
who has created such a sensation
lately, gives brief explanation of
his "day-by-day" method, which
asserts that imagination Is
stronger than will. To these who
did not attend his lectures during
his recent visit here, this will
provide an opportunity to become
conversant with his methods
