"Cornered," a dramatic moving pic
ture adaptation of Savage's Broadway
production of the same name, in
which the plot hinges about twin sis
ters, separated in early life, who grow
up in entirely different spheres, with
Marie Provost in the leading role,
gives Rialto patrons a big thrill.
One of the twins. Mary, lives in the
underworld, while the other, Mar
garet, is society favorite and heir
ess The latter on a stunning expe-
dition crosses the path of the errant
one in a cafe. The undistinguishable
likeness of the two sisters leads the
crooks who are Mary's associates to
plot how this can be turned to their
advantage.

admission to the wealthy sisters
apartment, where her associate
crooks are just cracking the safe
when Margaret returns. and is shot.
