Barnum's The Greatest Show
on Earth" has passed and will
never return to it's old prestige.
For the greatest show on earth
today is not the circus. 1t is
played in every community of any
size in the land, and the man or
woman, or child either, who has
not seen it is rare indeed.
1t is the moving picture,
which has developed to such a
remarkable extent that it pays the
government the third highest tax
of any industry, and has an excel
lent chance to pay first before five
years are up.
All of this comes from Thomas
Giberson, who, unseen, operates
the two moving picture machines
at the Rialto theatre each after
noon and evening.
Up in the little room to the rear
of the seats at the Rialto the ope-
rator works, getting the pictures
ready for the afternoon perform
ance. He winds and unwinds
reels, cuts piece off here and
cements another reel on.
Meanwhile he talks.
Yes, sir, it's a great game" he
says. Few people realize how

products which are made, such as
cement for fixing films, and other
articles that need to be glued to-
gether. There is a varnish for
automobiles that also is manufac-
tured from the worn out film.
The negative of an old film is
always kept. Sometimes, five or
six years later, the film is shown
again. 1t is legitimate, and all the
big houses accept the old film,

RialtO Theatre Weekly

THE old films, after they grow
stale, are bought by a dealer, who
distributes them to a small house
which cannot afford the larger
films. They are sent to different
sections which are not served
with the larger film, and where
they have shows but infrequently,
such as the remote parts of Alas
ka, and other sections of the
world, and are shown there"
Two large machines throw the
film on the screen at the Rialto.
The two machines makes a con-
tinuous performance possible with
out breaks in the picture. Such
breaks are caused, and there are
few Of them, not by the operators
negligence, but because the film
is poor and has been worn out.
The films are distributed thru
clearing house, which sends a
driver to a fixed route of theatres.
He starts in the early morning,
rivals the milkman, and drops his
films, picking them UP after the
evening performance is over. Such
drivers receive large salaries.
The Rialto, under the capable

man, gives the public of the Main
land the best possible in movies
and other entertainment. There
are news reels and comedies with
the film picture, which is released
here the same time it is released
i'll the larger houses.
Saturday five acts of vaudeville
feature with the regular bill,
which includes a feature picture,

there is always a special attrac-

Opportunity Mite is popular,

A good theatre means much to
city's merchants. Many who
otherwise would go to Atlantic
City Saturday nights, if there was
no good show here, would also do
their shopping in the resort. The
presence of good place of
amusement brings people to Pleas

A committee appointed from
the Linwood Taxpayers Associa-
ton will work in conjunction
with a committee consisting OF
Mayor Charles Brown and mem
bers OF Borough Council to give
a report as to whether the COM
munity should work for park
to be located at the Bargaintown
Mill Pond site. 3
The report will be made at the
September meeting OF Borough
Council. Before that time the
committees will have chance to
learn Just what they can do to-
wards securing a site for a park
location.
The Taxpayers Association, at
a meeting Tuesday night heard
it's committee, Edmund Somers,
D. G. Hannum and Jacob Negley,
ST., report that it had preached
the matter to the Councilmen, and
that they had decided to investi-
gate as body.
Both members of Council and
citizens who are members of the
Association realize that if site
can be procurable, the ground
adjoining the Bargaintown Mill
Pond will make a wonderful park
site, if the land can be bought or
leased for a long term.
If such land can be procured,
a bathing beach will be built near
the park location, which will be
beautified. Hundreds enjoy the
swimming during the warm wea-
Their, bathing in the pool at one
side of the pond.
Just what action the Borough
will take depends on whether it
can get the land and pond, and
whether it's citizens approve the
plan to make a public park there.
Those favoring the park point
out that Absecon has done won
derful work along this line.

try remaining on farms is estlmat-
ed at another $6,500,000. The ba-
by chick production also averages
