Sho is Miss Lucille Ricksen, 16-year- old actress who has been given her big opportimity in Marshall Nellan’s “The Rendezvous," which will be shown at the America theater to- day and Monday, By reason of his selection of lit- tle Miss Ricksen to portray the lead- ing feminine role in his newest pro- duction, Marshall Nellan is re sponsible for the introduction of filmdom’s youngest “leading lady.” Miss Ricksen portrays a grown-up character which many older and more established actresses aspired to portray. Screenland’s newest “find” was tested by Mr. Neflan when he gave her a small part in ‘The Strangers’ Banquet,” to ascertain her histrionic possibilities. The producer was quickly taken up with the child's talents and decided to give her a real opportunity at an early date. Delicate, dainty and fair-haired, she offers a distinct type through her characterization of the young Russian pensant girl in the Neilan drama. “Lucille Ricksen will emerge from Nellan’s picture with many laurels,” was the prediction of no less than Rupert Hughes who used her as a child in “Remem- brance,” and his prediction has come true. i Among the Nelflan “discoveries” whose talents he has developed are Wesley Barry, Marjorie Daw and Colleen Moore. Miss Ricksen plays opposite Con- rad Nagel in ‘The Rendezvous.” Others in the cast are Sydney Chap- lin, Elmo Lincotn, Eygente Besserer, Emmett Corrigan, Richard Cc. Travers, Kathleen Key and Cecil Holland. VIOLA DANA TAKES ROLE OF PARIS BUTTERFLY INMETRO Vidla Dana in her aipptest melo- dramatic comedy, “In Search of a Thrill,” a Metro production, is the treat in store for Rialto theater pat- rons Monday and Tuesday. Adapted from Kate Jordan's short story, “The Spirit of the Roi and directed by Oscar Apfel, ‘In Search of a Thrill” promises to top in pop- ularity all Miss Dana's previous productions, for it {s a rare combl- nation of comedy and thrills, done with the charming verve and dash that is characteristic of the Peter Pan girl of the screen. Warner Bax- ter, Mabel Van Buren, Templar Saxe and Rosemary Theby head the supporting cast. Miss Dana has the role ‘of an American flapper in Paris, whose passion for continuous excitement leads her into breath-taking adven- tures. Fans will get all the action they want in "In Search of a Thrill” for the story speeds from one ad- venture to another, culminating in a dramatic episode at a rendezvous of the Paris underworld.

Instead of freeing her, Adrian compels her to aceompany him on a tour of the slum district, where she realizes for the first time the horrible conditions brought about by the indifferent attitude of a few of the wealthy aristocracy.

Mr. Jones is a Wyo- ming man and is the son of Mr. and Mrs. A. I. Jones of Sheridan, He has toured extensively and has won wide recognition. Mr. Jones studied with the famous French teacher Marcel Roger de Bouzon, also the well known opera tenor Walter Wheatley. He toured the south last season with the Na- tional (All Star) Male quartet under the Redpath Chautauqua bureau and recently was baritone soloist and manager of the Gretchen Cox Con- cert company under the same bur- eau. : To quote a recent review, “Mr. Jones has a wonderfully resonant baritone voice and shows years of artistic training in the use of it. His tone quality and dignity of expres- sion are remarkable. Although very young he has already won a name for himself in the musical cen- ters and bids fair to become a lead- ing artist.” Another writer says, “Mr, Jones possesses a wonderful baritone voice and the way In which he thrills his hearers shows not only an artistic temperament but a sym- pathy of understanding ag well.” oO Mountain View Suburb has 3 miles of lines. reservations.
