ers who can shake mean feet,
tumble themselves together in a

Esta Agla Is one of the singers
and she pleases in some good
music. Rose Lee proves energetic
and snappy in jazz songs. Justine

Irving Selig keeps the crowd in

juveniles as one would care to

the renowned team of Collins and

The Fox movietone has some
entertaining views ranging from
the whistling and grunting of
fleet of tugs warping the liner
Majestic into her dock to the

Denny Improving
on Wany
Reid

The Christmas week offering at
Nhe Rialto Is highly entertaining
and amusing. in just the right
tune for the gala holiday season.
Reginald Denny returns in the
kind of picture which placed him
on the foremost ranks of star
ring. "On Your Toes" Is quite diff.
ferent from Denny's later starring
comedies, but his usual and &C.
customed versatility and ability
are right in evidence.
The story deals with one
Beresford. son of Young Evans,
undefeated boxing champion of
his day, who is being reared by
his Virginia grandmother as a
gentleman, not to know of this
heritage. Starting a dancing
school in New York, he drifts
along until the daughter of his
fathers ring manager. Sullivan,
moves him to action with the age
old subterfuge, jealousy.
Then his ears begin to wiggle, a
sure sign that the fight is on and
action follows. Barbara Worth as
the attractive girl is good.

the champion, a blustery know
