COLUMBIA-The long awaited
film version of the stage success,
''Beggar on Horseback, debuts
at the Columbia for the new
week beginning tomorrow after
noon. There are only two items
to remember In connection with
this feature. One is that the play
was written by those archsatir-
lists, Kaufman and Connolly
and the second is that James
Cruze directed Edward Everett
Horton, Esther Ralston, Theodore
Kosloff, Gertrude Short and many
others are in the cast. As in its
original version, tBeggar on
Horseback" offered new era in
the stage, so. in the films, critics
have pronounced it an achieve
ment that has been undupIicated

is pictured in all the fancifulness
and grotesquerie that an imagi-

dream forms the bulk of the
story. The useful features on
the screen and in the pit, will
complete the bill.
RLALTO-A novelty in presen-
tation have been arranged by the
Rialto for the forthcoming week,
called Take a Chance Week,
designated thus because the extra
audible features viii not be an
nounced. Patrons will take a
fishpond chance and, judging from
past performances at the Ninth
street house, there will be dsvi-
dends for all who attend. The
film feature is BLACK Cyclone"
featuring Rex, the wild horse,
and several other talented equines,
plus number of human actors.
A dual love tale marks the story.
The amorous affairs of Rex, the
horse fond Lady and the vicissi-
tudes that his rival, The Killer,
besets him with, are duplicated
in the affairs of the human actors
in the story. The usual sub
salaries will round out.
