RTALTO-The photoplay ver-
sion of John Golden's well-known
stage success, "Lightnin'," is the
feature at the Rialto, starting
tomorrow.
Playgoers are familiar with Old
Bill Jones, as created on the
stage by the late Frank Bacon.
Jay Hunt plays the same char
acter in the picture. William
Fox, the producer, has not
changed the compelling story,
which, though vividly related with
few flourishes or so-called gags,
strikes a deeply human note. The
story of 'Lightnin' concerns
the fortunes of Bill Jones and his
wife in the management OF the
Calvina Hotel. a hostelry situated
conveniently half in California
and half in Nevada. The Nevada
half is for the benefit of divorce
seeking transiets, and much OF
the story revolves around this
fact. But it is the redeeming
quality OF love that really brings
happiness once more to Light
MIN" and his wife that furnishes
the dramatic theme. Other char
acters are portrayed by Madge
Bellamy, Ethel Clayton, Edythe
Chapman, ]. Farrell Macdonald,
Otis Harlan, Wallace Macdonald,
Richard Travers, and Brandon
Hurst.
