nouncing this masterpiece will appear
during week of November 4th at pop
ular prices of fifty and twenty-five
cents.
In bringing “The Great Gabbo” to
Atlanta, the Rialto offers what is con
sidered by critics and patrons who
have seen it, a picture which seems
destined for hearty applause. Eric
Von Stroheim, renowned actor and di
rector, takes the leading role nnd is
supported by Betty Compson. The dra
ma is of the stage, revolving about
a character, portrayed as possessing a
dual personality, through the man
himself and through a w’ooden doll.
The production has been made on a
lavish scale, having three reels in
technicolor, stupendous sets, gorgeous
costumes and background.
“The Great Gabbo” holds an indi
vidual niche in modern talking motion
pictures and will long be remembered
after it plays in Atlanta.
LOEW S CAPITOL
ica you hurry and take a chance. In
Europe, for instance, the municipal
control of theatres is highly systema
tized, and the young actor advances
slowly, step by step. There is no oth
er way. Of course, he learns much
that way.
“But in America a young actor can
make a single hit and obtain what you
call a ‘break.’ Some say it’s a matter
of luck—and perhaps it is—but there
are opportunities in this country the
European aspirant to the stage ever
sees.”
Lugosi is one of a notable cast in
the new picture, adapted from the
stage show. Margaret Wycherly plays
the role she did on the stage, and
Lugosi, Conrad Nagel, Leila Hyams,
Mary Forbes, Holmes Herbert, Helene
Millard and others of note are in
the cast.
METROPOLITAN
this is a romance in natural colors.
Felix the Funny Cat, Pathe News
and a new Vitaphone presentation are
the added attractions.
For the week commencing Novem
ber 4th, Jeanne Eagels, one of Amer
ica’s foremost actresses will be shown
in her last all-talking picture “Jeal
ousy.”
AARONEANS TO PRESENT
MUSICAL REVUE
The Aaronean Young Judaean Club
will present “Bits Of Broadway,” on
Sunday, November 10, at 8:15, at the
Jewish Educational Alliance.
The entertainment will feature thir
ty talented boys nnd girls in a clever
musical revue, written for the Aaron
ean Club, by Earl Blackwell, Jr., who
is supervising the show.
Mr. Blackwell, young dramatic di
rector of Oglethorpe University, and
one of Atlanta’s leading producers,
spent some time in Chicago this sum
mer. While there he became acquaint
ed with many new novelties in the
realm of the stage. He has embodied
several of these in “Bits Of Broad
way,” his latest production, which
promises to be one of the best juvenile
performances ever given in this city.
The plot deals with a southern girl,
named Betty, who, bereft of her par
ents, is compelled to go out into the
world and earn her own living. Pay
ing no heed to the futile remon
strances of her colored “mammy,”
Betty leaves for New r York seeking a
job and fame. Her search of theat
rical circles proves fruitless. Despond
ent and at the end of her resources,
our heroine is dramatically rescued,
and succeeds in becoming a great
“star.”
A feature of the show is the acro
batic dance of Miss Dora Andrews,
the Egyptian dancer. Among the song
hits to be presented are: “Don’t Hang
Your Dreams On A Rainbow,” sung
by Miss Elsie Herman and Mr. Louis
Zipperman; "Little By Little” by Miss
Gertrude Liberson and Mr. Morris
Shulmister; and “Aain’t Misbehav
in’ ” by Miss Sylvia Freedman and
Mr. Haskell Davidson. Included in
the list of dances which Mr. Black-
well has originated for this show are,
“Pick It Up Low Down Rythm,”
“Kids Again,” “Steppin* Along,” and
“Flipptiflop.” The entertainment will
and Mr. Gilbert Cohen. Miss Annie
Cohen in the role of “Mandy,” is out
standing.
Members of the chorus and ensem

rah Taffel, Miss Rosa Gilner, Mr.
Marvin Sugarman, Alex Epstein,
Morris Siegel, Max Kuniansky, Mau
rice Rich, Seymour Cohen, Abe Rice,
