Ten Hollywood Starleis Seen At
Ryland er Here Next
Friday
Lavishly produced and sympa
thetically directed, “Daughters of
the Rich,” which is the picture at
traction at the Rylander next Fri
day, is said to have realized every,
promise held out by its title. The
picture tells a melodramtie story
in so convincing a manner as jo
keep the, most blase theater-goer
catching his breath and wondering
what will happen next.
Like the two prvious pictures
of which it is a sequel—Rich Men’s
Wives and Poor Men’s Wives, this
picture ’has been staged with a cart,
that represents much thought an i
a true appreciation of the require
ments of the parts.
Gaston Glass has a tremendous
heroic role and Ruth Clifford, who
gowns herself so lavishly, does her
self proud in the trying part of
“Sally Kandy” ; —the daughter of th
rich man about whom the story re
volves.
Others in the cast are Miriam
Cooper, Stuart Holmes and Ethel
Shannon.

• “THE GOLD DIGGERS”
COMING TO RYLANDER
An extraordinary attraction is
scheduled for the Rylander in hte
near future in “The Gold Diggers”
a picturization of David Belasco’s
famous stage play.
Contrary to its literal meaning,
“Gold Diggers” are not people en
gaged in searching the depths of
the earth for the precious metal,
but as shown in this picture, they
are beautiful young women, whose
profession is dancing and acting,
but who spend their spare time
“digging” for gold in the for mos
entertainment, jewels, clothing and
I money; and these incidentials they
get from business men who seek di
version from the worry and stress
of business. Thus a troupe of gold
diggers, led 'by one Jerry Lamar,
the wildest and gayet of the party
live merrily in a large apartment
I while their expenses are being paid
for by the number of wealthy men.
How true love enters into their
lives and complicates the entire af
fair and how Jerry plots and plans
to bring things to a successful ter
mination is brought out in this
film in a highly interesting and
thoroughly amusing way.
The large and expensive cast is
composed of Hoppe Hampton,
Louise Fazenda, Windham Stand
ing, Gertrude Short, Alec Francis,
Jed Prouty, Arita Gillman Peggy
. Brown, Margaret Seddon Johnny
Harron, Ann Cornwall, Edna Tich
enor, Frances Ross, Marie Prade and
Louise Beaudet. Harry Beaumont
directed this David Belasco produc
tion.
TODAY’S PROGRAM.
Today”s program at the Rylan
der includes Hoot Gibson in his lat
est action picture, “Dead Game,”
Tare Enough” aCentury comedy
and Art Acord in the next chapter
of “The Oregon Trail.”

Long A wai ted‘Merry GoR ound’
At Rylander Theatre Monday
A Mad Whirl of Life, Love and
Luxury Unanimously Prais
ed By Unties
The fascinating title of the big
picture of the year which plays at
the Rylander on Monday and Tues
day, has a double signficance.
the story is woven around the
sorrows and joys of a girl merry
go-round tender of the Prater, the
amusement park district of Vienna
The role is played by Mary Phil
oin.
Life itself has been likened to
a merry go round on which the
riders whirl in swift rotation,
flashing through the phases of ex
perience. It is this thought! that is
woven into the romantic story of
the little waif of Vienna, and the
canvas of the play is painted in
ail the varied colors of existence,
the brightness of laughter and
drabness of tragedy.
The largest part of the action
however, is against a carnival
oacKground. Perhaps no place has
the carnival spirit so exquisite in
all its color and sparkle than in
the 1 rater, the amusement park
district of antdbellum Vienna.
Tamed to the far corners of the
earth for the utter abandon and
gaiety of its atmosphee, the Prat
-ler has always been regarded as
the exemplification of the true car
nival spirit.
But with the shadows of war and
I the mailed fist of tragedy which
I dripped red over Europe a change
: came over the merry-making place
|of the old-world capital. True, tne
I bands still played, but the dance
! of the revellers’ feet heavvy. Per
haps the merry tunes dimmed the
. sparkle in many a girl’s eye and
brought a rush of memories of a
soldier at the front.
Yes, the Prater struggled brave
ly*, but the old spirit, the spirit of
carnival was gone. Travelers who
had Known the place in pre-war
days returning, found a note of
sadness, an indefinable loss.
But here in America the carnival
spirit which made far-off Vienna
famous was revieved in “Merry-
Go-Round.”’
There are wide streets, scatter
ed with leaves from the linden
trees, the grotesque little clanging
tram cars, and all the mad, merry
colored tnrongs bent on pleasuue.
There one sees the bright flash
of uniforms, the golcA of officers’

Partner, a Paramount
Picture
two devoted wives of gambles
are found in the gripping Para
mount drama of New York finan
cial and domestic life, "The Silent
Partner,” a Paramount picture
which will be shown at the Ryland
er next Wednesday. Only, one has
thes trength of character to plan
and carry through the reform of
her speculator husband. Another
succumbs and is carried down to
poverty: the third is ignorant of
what her husband has done till too
late. Beatrice Joy, Owen Moore
and Robert Edeson are featured.
Beatrice Joy is cast as the wife
of a stock broker’s clerk, played
by Owen Moore. When he risks
their modest fortune on the market
she prepares for the crash which
she feels will ultimately come.
From lovin domestic helpmeet her
character changes to 'that of a hard
woman, secretive and cold, hoard
ing all her husband’s wealth she
can manage to lay her hands n,
against possible financial ruin. Not
until he has lost all does she be
come her affectionate self gain.
Holbert Edeson is the broker who
employs Moore as clerk, and after
ward accomplishes his downfall in
Wail Street. It is the wife of anoth
er of liis clerks, played by Pater
son Dial, who is too luxury-loving
and weak to demand of her hus
band that he show her sufficient
consideration to assure a definite
income. Like the other couple,
their wealth skyrockets. But’ when
the bottom drops out, neither has
saved, and both are forced into the

noted visitor to University City.
‘‘lt will live as it has not lived in

So, while far away in the tragic
city of Vienna the cries of the bal

play to cheerless crowds, in the
heart of the Hollywood foothills the
gaiety that made the Prater fam

to everlasting fame. The true
