FF the beaten track of the usual parade of the gay and laughing throngs out for a lark—or a picture, the Rialto Theater on Ninth and G streets northwest, nevertheless is out to hold its own with the “big, down-town picture palaces” and determined to have what they have regardless of trouble or expense. This week, the Rialto steps to the front, not only with the usual first run of talking drama, but with a program of vaudeville for extra good measure. To the purple courts of Hollywood it has gone for udeville star and her company and is presenting them both “in the flesh” with a pride born of knowledge of their drawing power. That star is no other than Lilyan Tashman, a comely and convincing member of the Koyal Family of Holly- wood, who comes, first, in her own right, as “the best dressed celebrity of the modern screen” But Miss Tashman has a great deal besides sartorial repu- tation to fascinate the eye and please the ear, those important organs of hu- manity that must be satisfied in the world of entertainment. And Miss Tash- man is bringing all her ascets, coupled with those of her supporting compan: and very attractive entertainment to mark the advent of the Rialo into the ranks of big and better entertainment. Reports tell us the call has been heard and the crowds are responding as never before. Lincoln Impersonators.
