Miss Washington of 1926" in
the charming person of Miss
Abbie Virginia Eagan divides
ilonors with "Drusilla with Mil
lion'' on the s'Greater Movie" week
program at the Rialto.
Washington's favorite beauty
received an ovation upon her each
appearance yesterday. She is seen
in "A Trip to Dixie" arranged
and presented by Mischa Gutter
son. The sixit furnished her with
an opportunity to demonstrate a
sweet voice and dainty per-
son4lity.
''DrusilIa with a Million is a

Then again, the picture of the

pear plausible.
Aside from these seeming de-
fects, which can be overlooked, the
drama is an epic in moving pic
lures. It tells a powerful and APP
pealing story and is rich in
character study. Mary Carr, as
the worn out old servant. who
suddenly inherits a million dollars
and turns her beautiful home into
a nursery for unfortunate chill
dren, gives a performance that
dwarfs all her previous efforts.
Priscilla Bonner also does some
splendid work as the wait from
the orphan asylum. Others in the
cast include Kenneth Harlan. Henry
Barrows, William HUMPHREYS and
Claire DuBray.
"a Trip to Dixie" brings to-
gether a number OF singers and
dancers of the plantation variety.
In songs Of the South, they met
with ready appreciation from those
in the audience. The International
News Reel flashes pictures of
people and happenings and clever

The lover of good music will
find his opportunity at the Earle

of the Russian hills, comes as
a refreshing relief.

best of its kind. Two young

sweet voices, heard in popular
