RIALTO NEXT WEEK
Startling Drama Given Law
ish Production

"When Husbands Deceive" top
ping the program at the Rialto
theatre, Sunday and Monday, does not
point out that all husbands are de-
ceitful. 1t is an original story by
Leah Baird, startling in treatment,
amazing in conception and swift in
action. Miss Baird is also featured
in the leading role.
1t starts out with a romance being
nipped at full bud by the deceit of a
man who covets the girl for her
money. Thinking him her benefactor,
she marries him, but there comes a
day of bitter awakening to his treach-
cry, and then a day of reckoning in
a final climax that is given tre-
mendous thrill by Teddy, Great
Dane.
The fun offering is one of the ia
NOUS Our Gang comedies, entitled
Saturday Morning The Rialto
News will complete the delightful bill.

Society Girl Finds Boxer is
Her Ideal

How hard must a cultured and re-
fined society girl of the "cold-blooded"
type be shocked to take the prudish-
ness out of her? How much of the
primitive he-man do women in gen
eral like to find in their mates?
It's an interesting question that
would involve hours of discussion, but
the time would be wasted since clear
picturization of the whole question
comes to the Rialto theatre next
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday,
when the Universal-Jewel special pro-
duction, "The Abysmal Brute" will
be shown.
The added attraction consists of a
