RIALTO THEATER . “Four Sons” e the feature picture at the Rialto theater today and to- fmerrow. This is a Fox pieture, di- pected by John Ford, who made the successful “Mother Machree” and “The Iron Horse.” The large cast| ineludes Margaret Mann, the lovely | old lady whose portrayal of the| mother role in this picture has been acelaimed throughout the country as | one of the most penetrating and hu- man characterizations ever secn upon the screen. It is a characteriza- ation rich in sympathy and senti- ment. Around this character, “Grand- ma Bernle,” revolves the story of the four aons, three of whom march oft to fight for the motherland— many of the scenes take place in Bavaria — while the fourth son, in America, sails to fight for the stars | and stripes. The powerful conflict, the touching pathos, the awift suc- cession of dramatic highlights —all | are combined with telling effect. Others in the cast are James Hall, | Charles Morton, George Meeker, “ Francis X.
