Of that famous figure of classic ro-

Berengaria, he is tenderly attentive.
AS Europe's most celebrated swords
man, he strikes pose OF justifiabte
vanity that is wholly irresistible, and
in the comedy scenes he is delightful
ty funny. In fact, Wallace Beery in
the current film proves conclusipely
that he is a versatile screen actor OF
no mean ability.
George Melford produced the pic

cast has been chosen with careful

in Isn't Life Wonderful?' which is
shown at Loew's Columbia this week.

setting for a romance of transcen-

The Lighthouse by

The Rialto Theater has a varied,

The story concerns Caleb Gale.
a blind lighthouse keeper. whose re-
cent blindness is kept a secret by
himself and daughter Flora tplayed
sympathetically by Louise Fazenda1,
so that the old man will not be sent
from the job to which he has been
faithful all his life. Buster Collier,
jr., as the shipwrecked hero who be-

lover of Flora, is good, also. There
are the usual standard villain types
who head a rum smuggling crew. In
the end, Of course, the hero and his
dog run down the enemy and the girl
