Rialto-T The Price of
Pleasure.

The Price of Pleasure" the feature
at the Rialto Theater this week is
one of those productions that not only
furnishes a goodly amount of enter
tainment, but keeps the audience in
suspense until just before the final
embrace and the caption, The End"
is aShed upon the screen.
The name of the picture, perhaps
is misleading because it is not a pic
,ture in which a great moral lesson
is taught by showing the penalty one
usually has TO pay after rounds of
reckless and unhampered pleasure,
but II is a story where the all-im-
portant thing to the heroine is the
price of pleasure in actual dollars and
cents. In short, the picture deals
with poor shop girl, too poor to
afford pleasure, who marries the
scion of an aristocratic and wealthy
unpleasantness with her in-laws.
Stella and Linnie Virginia Valli and
Louise Fazenda), have just agreed
that there is no chance of meeting
a nice young man with a plenty of
money while working in a hardware
shop when all of a sudden in walks
a young man dressed in overalls to
purchase some nails and make a date
with Linnie. This young man turns
out to be Garry Schuyler Norman
Kerry, scion of a wealthy family in
disguise, who having become bored to
death with society, dresses in over
alls in order to get a different slant
on things. From here on there are
rapid fire developments leading to the
point where both are happy ever
after.
