merits Of the picture.

Swanson is Irresistible. Her role
ranges from a travelling show comedi-

Rialto-The Narrow Street

Washington should applaud with
genuine pride, The Narrow Street"
which is featured this week at the
Rialto Theater. for the story was
ten by Washington author. Edwin
Bateman Morris.
The Narrow Street is one OF the
best, most humanly humorous pic
tuEes Washing gton has seen this Win
ter. Civic pride does not prompt this
approving statement 1t Is merits
just reward, for Mr.. Morris combined
IN a most ingenious and delightful
manner In his novel pathos. romance
and humor. And fortunately the
screen version has lost none of the
original charm.
No attempt will be made here TO
tell the story. To do so would be to
spoil the picture, for the development
OF some OF the situation constitutes
one of its outstanding virtues. It
deals. however, with a comparatively
young man, whom bachelorhood and
spinster aunts have made premature
~ old. One rainy morning he awakes
to find a winsome young lady stretch

As he attempts to explain to some
friends later. everything is quite prop

are moments when you could fairly

those who own machines highly ap-
preciate this picture, which has all

WHO ARE THE CAPITALISTS! !

One of the popular American con-
Peptions is that capitalist" and
millionaire" mean the same thing.
Many people still associate capital
SITS and capitalism with the "Steel
frust," Wall Street, stoVe-pipe hats,
Ind the few who pay big income
axes. Few realize that the capital
site class in this country is millions
'trong, made up chiefly of the thrifty
citizens of Main Street. The millions
pf men and women in the United
States who hold government bonds
pr the bonds of American corpora
ions and municipalities, and the
more than five million individuals
FhO are partners in our industries
through stock ownership are capi-
alists. So are the some 100000
0dividuals who have more than $22,-
00,000,000 in the savings banks of
he country. The capitalistic class
lso includes the 55,OOO,OOO citizens
tho have life insurance to the
mount of 57,000,OOO,OOO, and near
four million farmers who own
their own farms.
The truth is that any man is a
apitalist who has money invested
r available for investment. Between
he man with a $1OO Liberty Bond
nd the man whose investments re-
urn ten thousand times that amount
nnually there is only a difference of
egree. The workman with his bag
I tools is capitalist, and by saw
lg and employing his surplus funds
rofitably he may become. the big
ontractOr of tomorrow. His hammer
nd his invested dollars are tools
apital, used for the same ultimate
nd, to bring into being still more
apital in other forms.
America is the ideal capitalistic
alton. Its capitalist class is grow
