ROLAND'S FIRST
TALKER AT CIRCLE.

Ruth Roland, celebrated star Of
the silent days, makes her bid for
talking screen popularity at the
Circle theater this week, in Reno, "
feature film attraction.
In the cast with Miss Roland are
Montagu Love, Kenneth Thomson,
Sam Hardy and Alyce Mccormick.
The picture was directed by George
J. Crone and adapted from the
novel by Cornelius Vanderbilt Jr.
With all of the publicity being
given Reno at this time as result
of the new divorce laws, it is con-
sidered quite apropos for the Circle
to present such production.
The story, as the title leads one
to surmise, is built around the at
tempts of a couple to obtain a legal
separation through the Reno "di-
vorce mill" following domestic dis
cord after the infldelity Of the hus-
band The spectator is given an
idea of how evidence is gotten and
presented in a plea for divorce.
With Reno" the Circle returns
to its regular policy of one feature
attraction weekly, supported with a
selection of short subjects.
The supporting program for this
week includes silly Scandals" a
"Bimbo" cartoon; 1.-TWO A. NJ" a
Tom Howard comedy; ANY Little
Girl a song cartoon, and the Para
mount talking news reel.

Miss Tobin, a stage performer Of
wide repute, probably will be best
recalled by Indianapolis audiences
because Of her work in "A Lady
Surrenders," which played at the

Miss Wilson, well-known to mo-
ton picture fans before the days
Of the audibles, is said to have made
q spectacular comeback in the
important role given her.

his first dramatic role, and he Goes

ton to George Riley, presents

His Mad Ways, Lucille Peterson and

At Riverside

One of the most thrilling stunts
ever held at Riverside amusement
park has been arranged for this
week and when Daredevil Jack
Early, movie stunt actor, will dash
through a burning house on gaso-
line driven motorcycle.
Two performances will be given,
one at 8 o'clock Saturday evening
and the other at o'clock Sunday
afternoon.
This entertainment will be free
to all patrons. The stunt house will
be saturated with oil and will be
blazing like a roaring furnace when
the rider dashes through at the rate
of seventy miles an hour, the
flames tapping about his head and
body.
With both legs broken in a recent
accident, Early was dismissed from
the hospital only a short time ago,
but he says this only added to his
determination to create thrills for
the public.
