the pair will change their plans and
wed elsewhere because of the pub

But" he adds, "the originals will

Frohman and the Movie.

ONE of that long-ago audience in
the Roster & Bal Music Hall
when the movie was born was the late
Charles Frohman.
He made an odd prediction the next
| day:
THE vitascope means the end of
| stage scenery" he said. "Some day
| before long the scenery will be
thrown upon the stage with this de.
vice, and the actors will appear in
front of 1t. The dead things of the
stage must co.
Even so astute a Snowman as Mr..
| Frohman did not foresee drama itself
| being thrown upon the screen, and
this drama becoming the chief amuse-
ment-sometimes, indeed. the only
| amusement-of thousands of times
| the number Of persons who patron
| lied his sort of theater. Nor could
| he, of course, envision the almost
complete disappearance of the road

carried to towns and villages away
from the center of population the
sole dramatic entertainment their in
habitants ever received.
There are few road shows now
but the tiniest hamlets get the NOV
| les and see exactly the same thing
that Broadway sees.
The movie people are pointing. with
perhaps justifiable pride, to the fact
that spoken drama was known a good
many hundred years before the Chris
tan era began, while only three short
decades have passed since the first
movie images were shown upon a
theater screen.

RIALTO-sThe Sea Beast"

So great has been the attendance
at the Rialto to witness the showing
of 1.-THE Sea Beast" starring John
Barrymore, that the picture will be
held over for a third week. The pa
tronage during the second weeks run
established the highest box-off1ce rec
ord in the history of the theater.
1.-THE Sea Beast" in it's suggestive
power. its overtones of surging life,
IS more than a photoplay; it is an
epic Of the heroic lives of the Ameri-
can whalers, a picture Of rich, color
full beauty, of heart throbs and Of
courageous deeds.
The beauty of the scenes in Java
the magic way In which the atmos-
phere of the East has been captured,
the never-equaled thrill of the surg
ing storms at sea, the anguished sus-
pense of the battle with the whale, are
some of the things that stand out
most wildly, beside the superb act
ing of John Barrymore and a per.
fectly chosen cast.
Owing to the length of the picture
the only advertisements are the over
ture by the Rialto Concert Orchestra,
