AT THE RIALTO THEATER

An epic of surging passion sweep ing through the wide plains of the Argentine to the fascinating frivoli- ties of pre-war Paris and into the blazing turmoil of the German in- vasion of northern France is being unfolded today and tomorrow at the Rialto theater with Rudolph Valen- tino and Alice Terry in the leading roles. It is the triumphant return of The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse" the million dollar Rex Ingram production which is enjoy ing a second nationwide run. This film is the fulfillment of dream that motion pictures would one day come into their own as the best form of theater entertainment and now, years after its original presentation it has again swept the country on a wave of popular approval. The co-feature Is the hilarious comedy "A Dogs Life" one of Charlie Chap lin's side-splitters literally crammed with Chaplinesque humor and pathos It has a rather unusual story and the king of pantomime appears to excellent advantage. Selected short CT subjects will also be shown. There will be another bathing beauty con- test reminiscent of milder days to- morrow evening.

PARSONS. HARTFORD

You ask me which is my best play" says Larry F. Johnson, au- thor of Earl Carroll's new comedy, which opens at Parsons theatcr, to- morrow evening, "and l hardly know how to reply to that question Does a parent like one child better than another? I like each play for what It. contains and the sentiment that attaches to the writing of it. Sometimes it's the mood l am in, sometimes the result of an eXperl- ence, sometimes an episode in my life, and sometimes merely my 1nl- agination-but they are all my so- called intellectual children and l like them all. How did l come to write What Anne Brought Home? We'll, I am quite interested in hu- man nature and also in salesman ship. which has a direct bearing on human nature. You know some men can sell you something because of their enthusiasm, their spontanelty, their volubility and then again others because they are the direct antithesis of that type. Then slow ness and apparent cautiousness oft times has the desired effect on the prospective customer. l like to see Wallingfords and I like to see the other kind"

COUNTRY STORE AT PALACE

 The picture program for today and tomorrow consists of two excellent features.
 What is probably the most unique racing scene ever put on the screen Is seen in Not So Long Ago" one of the main features with Betty Bronson and Ricardo Cortez as the stars. The race which is between the first horseless carriage ever in- vented and a man on foot, takes place on Fifth Avenue in New York to determine once for all whether the new invention will ever be used by the public.
 Not So Long Aga" is picture of New York when Broadway was still young. It brings back to us old familiar landmarks and old familiar faces.
 The picture. produced by Sidney Olcott who was also responsible for Little Old New York" is fully as good as its predecessor.
 The companion feature on this program is ''The Tim id Terror" with George O'Hara, who is fast becoming bne of the most popular stars of the screen. There is a complete change of show for Friday and Sat- urday, with amateurs to be presented Friday night as an added attraction.

STATE THEATER, HARTFORD

Don Juan" that is showing at the State theater, Main and Morgan streets, Hartford, Is a gigantic super production. It is everything that Super r-production" implies. Only too often have descriptions been inaccur- ately applied-but in the case of Don Juna" superlatives are inade- quate to accurately even begin to relate how wonderful is the most beautiful. thrilling and romantic pie ture ever screened. Barrymore rules the picture. He is the living. breath ing. loving. hating, fighting, suffering. joyous, whimsical, gallant Don Juan. the great lover of all ages.
 "Don Juan" is the picture the whole country has been hearing about: it is the picture that stands in a class all it's own, unrivalled, and now it Is being shown at the State theater for the first time anywhere at regular admission prices.
 Besides John Barrymore, there Is the greatest cast even seen in any picture, Mary Astor is the beautiful heroine of the story. Among the thousands in the cast are, Estelle Taylor, Warner Gland, Montague Love. Helen Costello, Jane Winton. Myrna Loy, June Marlowe. John Roche, Joseph Swickard, Helene d. Algy. Lionel Brahm, Nigel de Brul- fer. Helen Lee Worthing. Phyllis Haver, Sheldon Lewis. Hedda Hop- per, Emily Fitzroy, Yvonne Day, John George, Phillipe de Lacy.

INDIANAPOLIS IS
OYSTER CENTER.

Indianapolis is an oyster-ioving
center Of the United States and the
quantity consumed this season at
the Philadelphia oyster House, 1O5
e. Ohio St., is proof OF this state
ment, according to j: w. Evering-
ham, proprietor.
Instead Of getting oysters in bulk,
oysters that are removed from the
shells and shipped in large contain
ers, Everingham secured only ''se-
lects" in the she'll and personally
supervises the opening OF every
oyster served In his restaurant.
The growing popularity Of the
Philadelphia Oyster House, which
has become the mecca OF thousands
Of oyster.epicureans, has been due
to the personal pride taken by Ever
ingham in the manner in which
orders are served.
1.-THE health element in eating
oysters is unquestioned," he said.
"Oysters are perhaps the most
healthful marine animal we have.
II oysters are not dumped into con.
tainers and contaminated, but in
stead are shipped in their own juices.
one can be assured OF their purity.
Children can be given the caIo.
ries they need to build up tissues
by eating oysters, which are unusu-
ally rich, in protein matter, as well
as necessary mineral contents"

ards plans to match Jim Maloney,

Spanish strong man, for another
number of his elimination tourna
ment on March 25 have met with
an unexpected obstacle.
Dan Carroll, Maloney's manager
announced he would not consider
another indoor fight against any op-
ponent, making it clear that he took
that stand for business reasons only.
II think Paolino would be a cinch
for Maloney and SO does Jim, but we
don't want to sacrifice any more
money by fighting indoors" he said.
We think we played ball by accept
ing the Delaney match inside when
we could have gotten twice as much
in a ball park. We accepted that
match to prove Maloney was serious
in his ambition to become the cham
pion and that he was not out for
money alone"
Richard has Maloney under con-
tract to go through the elininations,
but he intimated he wouldn't force
him to accept date he didn't like.
