The last act. a rather pretentious
review serving as vehicle for
the talents, and indeed they are
such. for Doc Baker is the saving
grace of the whole affair. Baker
is as he always was. the quick
change artist. and he works with
will that puts the act over
nicely. In this the Bower Sisters
really dance which prove that they
should rather than-oh. what's the
use?
An interesting little marriage

''STROGOFF'' HERE
FOR ANOTHER
WEEK

"Michael strogoff." a spectacle
film from the Jules Verne novel.
began its second week at the
Rialto yesterday to heavy crowds
and indications that Its fortnight
run here will be unqualifiedly
profitable.
The picture has many moments
Of atmospheric beauty. particularly
in the color sequences and 1t pos
sesges more than an ordinary al
lotment Of thrills. once the gallop'
ing Tartars get into action.
The theme recites the story OF
strogoff. the Cars courier. who
battles his way 5000 miles across
vast Russia, encountering varied
adventures, to deliver a message
that is destined to save the whole
army. He gets there but not until
after many GREATNESS escapades
with wild animals. enemies and the
elements.
