Theatricals AIKLTO PRESENTS 'MAINSTREET Aa FEATURE FOR THREE DAYS Yor your years,—or rather yor for 48 Palm Be 35 Sinclair Lewis had been t matermi for “Main Street," his best seller which has been adapisa for the screen, and will be shown at the Rialto theater today, Monday and Tuesday. It ig not a definition of one Main Street, but of all of them, from Syracuse to San Diego. The citizen of any town from one to 5,000 will recognize his neighbors and his own aspirations, whether his town hap- pens to be in Ohlo, in Kansas or in Montana. Sinciair Lewis’ con- tention ts that in this age of stand- ardigation—of Fords, movies, syndi- cated newspaper features, national! brands of ready-made clothes and| ready-made ideas—all or Streets are becoming amazingly and perilously alike. Mr. Lewis has observed the American scene with unusual broad- ness. During the past four and a half years Mr. Lewis has been traveling through all of the country from Main| Palm Beach to Seattle, from Los Angeles to Boston, living from one day to six months in the most diverse places.

Clarence Badger’s belief that such is the case with the movies and Los Angeles. “We-live so closé to the city that ‘We fail to recognize its value as a Jocale for our screen stories," he said. “Also we fail to see that a good drama is being enacted before us every day in the real world of this city. “Red Lights," will prove that the Calfornia city is not lacking in ma- terial for a good Grama.
