ENTERTAINMENT ART HITS
PEAK WITH RIO RITA

.fRio Rita" the all talking, all
musical extravaganza will play be-
ginning Sunday at the Kootenai
theatre, is evidence-tuneful colorful
evidence-that the screen has touched
new high mark in entertainment.
AS the first operetta in sound and
color, "Rio Rita" opens up great
new vista of entertainment to those
cities and towns geographically barred
from the Broadway spectacles of Zieg-
field and the Shuberts.
Interesting as is the story, law
ish as are the sets and costumes, it
is the singing and acting of the
large cast of principals that lift "Rio
Rita" to the peak in audience ap-
peal.
Bebe Daniels, in the title role, is no
less than a sensation with her new
found voice. No heralded prima DON
ma of the opera ever so fascinated
an audience as did Miss Daniels Last
night as she sang more than a dozen
of Harry Tierney's beautiful melodies
John Boles, erstwhile musical COM
edy star, is excellent as leading man.
Pressing the leading characters for
honors of the piece, however, are
Bert Wheeler, Dorothy Lee and Robert
Wbolsey, who give to the show not
only a generous share of comedy,
but contribute much to its large share
of dancing and singing.
One Of the highlights of the show,
SO plentiful with highliehts is the
Pearl Eaton chorus of 100 Of Holly
woods most beautiful dancing girls.
The Cimini Grand Chorus of 80
voices: Victor Baravalle's Symphony
orchestra and night club show, in
Producing some grand speciality acts,
round out the fulsome entertainment
of "Rio Rita"

PHILADELPHIA, May 12.-Aided by
business and industrial executives, the
industrial research department of the
Wharton School of Finance and Com
merce, University of Pennsylvania, has
completed an investigation of group
incentives" under which the bonus or
premium paid to group of workers
is made contingent upon their combined
output rather than upon results of in
dividual effort.
AS a management tool, group incen-
tives are being used more and more
widely, particularly In the automobile
industry, and the study made for the
industrial research department by DR..
G. c. Balderston, assistant professor of
industry in the Wharton school, covers
the actual experiences of scores Of
large business and industrial plants en-
ploying this system of payment.
On the basis of statistical reports and
other information provided by the firms
contributing to the study, DR.. Balder
ston found that "the employers who
have substituted group payment for
day work have universally experienced
Q reduction in direct labor cost"
Naturally, the percentage of saving
is not uniform" he states, but very
general statement of the results to be
expected where the management is of
average quality is a doubling of efici-
ency. This is brought about partly by
the increased attention of management
during the installation of the plan. and
partly by the spur of the money reward.
But similar labor savings are OBJ
tanned both by individual and by group
incentives, and we may be fairly certain
that, properly installed, any incentive
which replaces day work will reduce
direct labor costs"
