RIALTO SHOWS
WELL DONE
FEATURE

1.-THE Shanghai Lady" Is the
current attraction now playing
to capacity crowds at the Rialto
Theater. Adapted from Drift
ing" a story by John Cotton, au-
thor of the well-known drama,
Rain" 1.-THE Shanghai Lady"
proves fascinating and nitric
guing tale. Mary Nolan, delight
full and versatile artist, is ex.
pertly chosen for the stellar role,
that Of Cassie Cook, an habitue
of a resort in the Chinese city.
James Murray is excellent in
support.
1.-THE Shanghai Lady" is a de-
cidedly colorful production, a
sound picture, notable for its
splendid cast and unusually keen
enactment. Astounding in Orien-
tai atmosphere, the players, the
costumes and the background
smack Of the East.
An American girl, Cassie, has
drifted into a famous dive, tea
room of Madame Polly Woo, a
rendezvous for the flotsaln from
all nations gathered to the I'M
derworld Of a big city. Cassie Is
ordered out because of her i'm
prudence, and thereupon deter.
mines to be lady. On her way,
she meets up with fellow Amer
lean, a youth named McKenna,
whom she sets about to do"
Love follows and fearing that
the man may learn of her true
life, she determines rather to
give him UP. The man, equally
DESTROYS Of remaining an idol,
chooses the same course rather
than admit that he is in reality
an escaped convict. A gripping
and tense climax brings about
the inevitable happy ending.
A fitting tribute, "Over There
Today" commemorative Of
ArmiStice Day, is a fine film
showing some of the scenes Of
the French battle fields today.
An effective introduction pic
lures some of our doughboyS
singing the popular tunes Of
the day. Moving quietly into q
serious mood, the soldier dead
are honored, arouSing sad mem
cries.
Short subjects are good.
Sunny Jim, baby star of SO

Called "The Little Accident"
the title suggests something I'M
expected, and that is exactly
what the three acts unfold, the
humorous story of a college
.tndiscretion and the perplexities
OF what the play aptly de-
,scribeS as. q ''non-union"
father. While such q theme
would seem to present the ele-
,ments for a spicy evening, it
Is nevertheless quite harmless
frank sometimes in its dis
:cussion Of hasty romance but
80 well garnished with laughter
there is no time left for pond
ering on the underlying prob
lem.
It is Norman Overlook
,Ot Vickley, ILL.,, who learns on
the eve Of his marriage to,
Madge Ferris, that already the
responsibilities Of a parent rest
upon him as the aftermath Of
q June romance in his college
! days. Here's q pretty how
-dyedo and Norman sets forth
Tor Chicago to see his off
spring and plan for his future.
The wedding Is, Of course
postponed. It so happens that
the mother Of Norman'S boy
Graves a career and has al-
ready made congenial arrange
mentS for the infants adop-
lion. Such an idea is re-
pugnant to the father and be-
Ing unable to win mother to
his plans Norman takes the
easiest way and kidnapS the
bundle Of fluff that is de-
posted in his loving arms.
Here are complications. How
to mix the barley water and
do the 1901 things which q
cooling and crying youngster
demands If he would thrive as
the baby book DEGREES keeps
: Norman busy. There Is con-
siderable hilarity for the
theater observer and II 1t all
sounds ominous the finicky
may be assured that before the
third act curtain drops Nor
mans troubles have been
solved and he is doing what
society prefers to call "the
right thing"
This is not very substantial
fare for such a well-rounded
actor as Thomas Mitchell, last
seen here in might Stick" and
more pleasantly recalled for his
excellent characterization in
"The Wisdom Tooth It does
introduce Mr.. Mitchell in q
John Cumberland role and
demonstrate concluSively that
he is adept as q farceur. He
knows how to emphasize a
funny line and has an excellent
appreciation of gesture and
expression value. If his play
wright's pen is responsible for
the reiterated "hells" then I
dissent on a perfect score.
In the, assisting cast, Rachel
Hartzell, an actress Of winSome
personality and fine diction reg
listers impresSively and Fleming
Ward, Adrian Ross, Owen Mar
tin, Susan Conroy and Jane
Marbury contribute commend
able support.
THE Little Accident" like Be-
lasco's 1.-THE Bachelor Father"
Is predicated upon a delicate
thesis, but after it is all over
you will be surprised how much
wholesome humor can be built
around a knotty social problem.
