Ga^ iUnerai was held in Savannah, of the Rialto takes pleasure in an 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.

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.
