The film has a dramatic story which is especially well acted, and it has humor and pathos combined in splendid meas- ure. In all, it has everything a good picture shou!d have, and it de- serves to rank with the best films this season. To those who are interested in the world of the theater, the photo- play affords a very intimate view of back stage scenes. Since the whole action centers about the life of an actor, almost everybody in the film and nearly all of the characters are of the stage. Scenes and types are especially well chosen, and a great deal of the fascination which is ex- ed by the film can be explained Brandon Tynan, one of the most interesting personalities in the American theater, is seon to advan- tage in the role he originated on the stage. As the celebrated actor, Bar- ry Carleton, Mr. Tynan presents a lifelike and intensely human char- acterization. He {s equally convince ing as a young man and later as an aged and broken figure. Excellent support js given by a favorite, Mary Astor is charming as the daughter of the actor, and displays unusually strong emotional ability. Dore Davidson and Naomi Childers are also prominently cast Others {n the cast are Lionel Adams, Stanley Ridges, Robert Lee Kelling, Billy Quirk and others. “Success” is a Ralph Ince produc- tion, released by Metro Pictures Cor- poration. It is presented by Murray W. Garsson. Adeline Leltzback and Theodore A. Liebler, Jr., are the au- al atmosphere.

During the presentation of “The Woman With Four Faces” at the Rialto theater today and Monday those planning to attend are request-| of the screen looked so funny. ed for their own sakes to be in their seats before the picture starts. To enter during the course of this Par- amount picture will be to miss half the enjoyment and suspense. Being a mystery drama, with thrills galore and excitement radiating through every reel, it must be seen in its en- tirety to supply its definite quota of entertainment. Herbert Brenon, who produced the picture, is the master of drama. He works with tense and suspenseful sty! His people are real, his se- quences pile climax on climax. This is the story of a girl crook who engages to help a district at. torney in his effort to root out a nefarious traffic. Betty Compson who is featured with Richard Dix in the production, appears in car- fous disguises, but in the end suc- ceeds in her mission and wins the love of the district attorney, por trayed by Mr. Dix. But “be on time" {s the rule dur- ing this run, If pou are not you spoil the enjoyment of the picture for yourself and others. OPENING © THE GREATER MOVIE SEASON SATURDAY, SEPT. 1st AT THE RIALTO “When your own dog don't Imow, you, you're sure in tough,” com mented Tom Mix, when making his latest Willlam Fox production, “Soft Boiled,” now showing at the America theatre. Playing the role of a shoe clerk Mr. Mix found it necessary to wear an ill-fitting suit of pepper and salt pattern, heavy horn-rimmed glasses and to part his hair in the middie. Never before in his long picture career, had the great western hero It was at this juncture that “Duke,” big great Dane pet of Tom, walked on to the set. Tom whistled “Duke” picked up his ears at the familiar sound and looked around to find his master, but he saw rio Tom Mix that he knew. Twice Tom called to the dog. “Duke” looked curiously at the bespectacled person and walked away. Mix approached the dog again, calling to him, but “Duke” only growled, showed his big yellow teeth and backed into a corner. Then Tom went over and grabbed the animal by the collar. Refusing to trust his sight and| relying, dog-fashion, upon his sense of smell, “Duke” sniffed a couple of times at the strange person who accosted him in such familiar terms. Then, and then only, did his nose tell “Duke” that this odd appareled individual was Tom. The dog Wwagged his tail in a half-friendly fashion and returned to his corner and made himself comfortable. Apparently, the dog recognized the stranger as Tom, but he was not the Tom Mix of big hat, boots and spurs with whom Juke* GLORIA Production ; st = al SAMY A Ralph Ince Production which stands out among the year’s releases as one of the best ‘SUCCESS: A brilliant screening of a tensely interesting Stage Hit WHAT DOES “SUCCESS” MEAN TO ANYONE? —See For Yourself— 4 Also 2-PART COMEDY and NEWS REEL TOMORROW, WM.
