Al Moore and his Navy Orchestra

Crandall's Tivoli Theater this

stand how Owen Davis won the
Pulitzer prize with his play Her
Marriage Vow" the screen yer.
sion. Of which holds sway at the
Rialto this week. The serious.
ness and sacredness Of the mar
rage vow is given most searching
treatment, with a very strong sug-
gestion that no matter what the
circumstances, real happiness IL
marriage cannot be found without
the keeping Of that vow.
It is in skillful handling rather
than in the introduction of any
new situations that the story gets
Its gripping power, for it is the
age-old theme of the husband too
attentive to business, making It
easy for his wife to be led astray
by group Of perpetual pleasure
seekers, arpong whom there is al
ways some man willing to lavish
attention upon another mans
wife. The immediate result is
ever the same, but the ending lie
not always so fortunate as in this
case.

theme, the story 10 so well told

QUEENS STAGE
COMEBACKS

Like ghosts Of a glorious past,
two once-famous picture queens
have come fitting back into the
spotlight. Probably the most inter
esting Of these two 10 Thede Bara.
once known as the worlds great
est vampire and who enjoyed a
vogue equal to Valentines. Several
times Miss Bara has been on the
Verge Of venturing again into the
spotlight. but her plans never
rdpened. This time, however, she
has secured "Declasse. that
splendid play in which Ethel Bar
rymore scored her greatest hit In
recent years. In 'Declasse,"
Miss Bara sheds her vampire
clothes.
Although the return of Beverly
Hayne (MrS. Francis X, Bush

Of a splash. 1t comes as the big.
gest surprise to Hollywood. Miss
Bayne 10 thoroughly domesticated,
content to stay at home with her
little girl. However, with friend
husband making his bid for
popularity in the role OF Messiah
in Ben Hur," Miss Bayne thought
che might as well be doing some
thing while he is in Italy.
So she has started another
81 reen career opposite Monte Blue
in Her Marriage Vow" based on
the dramatic success. Of the same
name by owen Davis. This pic
ture opened weeks engagement

And will be a demonstration OF
the ability Of Miss Bayne to stage
q proper comeback.
The vehicle Of her return is an
wciting story OF marriage as 1t is
