Rialto Offers
Films of Laughter

Johnny Hines, starring in The Live

RialtO Saturday and Sunday. Hines is
at his best in this picture which is a
combination of romance, drama and
paramount humor.
Johnny is introduced as the head
liner in a huge circus and with his
introduction the fun begins, continu-
ing throughout the production. As an
elephant trainer Johnny Hines
estrasts no end of laughter 10 say
nothing of his life as a tramp in
which he and his associates pass
through several experiences which be-
fall the average "tie-counter" who is

Musical Comedy
Scores Big Hit

bringing Up a Wife," and pro-
duced by V. +. Siner. of the Royal
Follies company, is one of the clever.
est musical comedy presentations made
on the Royal stage in many weeks.
bringing Up Il Wife" is surpris-
ingly punchy, due probably to the
fact that Siner wisely boiled the four
act comedy to a 50-minute play re-
tanning the high spots and eliminat-
ing those that tended to make the
story drag.
A Canadian story, "The Calgary
Stampede" featuring Hoot Gibson. is
fast moving and exciting film built
around the rodeo and stampede at
Calgary giving Gibson an opportunity
to display his remarkable horseman-
ship.
A Cameo comedy I'm Deep and a
