RIALTO-'IOrrain of the Lions"

Lorraine of the Lions" starring
Norman Kerry, with Patsy Ruth Mil
Ter opposite, is the picture attraction
at the Rialto this week.
The story, which was written by Isa-
dore Berstein, concerns Lorraine, a
feminine Tarzan. with all the wild
ness of the jungle injected into her
character. While in the jungle she is
the companion of lions, tigers, mon
keys and alligatorS, and when she Is
rescued and returns to civilization her
reactions to the conventions of society
provide many an amusing bit.
At the age of 7 the girl is ship
wrecked on South Sea Island, where
she and a number Of circus animals
on the same boat are the only sur
vivors. A favorite pet is q. gorilla,
which protects her from the dangers
of the jungle. When the girl is res
cued by her grandfather. who was
shown the location of the isle by a
young Englishman with alleged occult
powers, the big gorilla was taken with
them.
The climax of the story is reached
when the gorilla. becoming insanely
jealous Of the girls human compan-
ions, breaks from his cage and at
tempts to leap from the roof of the
house with the girl In his arms.
The presentations will consist of vo.
cal and instrumental numbers arrang.
ed by Mischa Guterson. The overture
by the Rialto orchestra is "Guarany'
Gomez, which, together with Our
Gang comedy, entitled. THE Love
Bug" and the International News,
completes the program.
