This feature will appear regi^ larly in the Wednesday issue df WID'S DAILY. Rialto Ethel Clayton is sounding a warning to all sweet young things against the "Marry in Haste" idea at the Rialto this week. The star offers a sincere portrayal of the convent girl who made a mistake. Tschaikowsky's "Capriccio Italien" was indeed well received as the overture. A scenic consisted of some interesting shots of Italy, 'the magazine was of ordinary interest while "Should Dummies Wed," a Sunsliine comedy, provided the fun of the bill. Emanuel List's "The Big Bass Viol," a basso solo, seemed to please the audience, and Grace Hoffman's soprano solo, "Charmant' Oiseau," a selection irom "The Pearl of Brazil," met with considerable applause. The organ solo' is Mendelssohn's "Si-xth SonaU." Goldwyn Plans {Continued from Page ) Wednesday, May 19, I2|< are presenting their programs this scale was manifest, he said, and he made it clear that English production was highly desired by English theaters rather than American productions. He expects a big increase in theaters in both countries this year. He also said that abroad they did not like the way in which Englishmen and Frenchmen were presented in American pictures, and that he had ordered drastic changes in the production department to meetjf this. Strand "Romance," the long awaited picturizatioii ot tile famous play, with Dons Keane in her original role, is at the Strand this week and is proving, at least, a tine Metropolitan attraction. Elderly people were present in large numbers at the Monday matinee, probably due to the fact that they had seen the original when it was first presented here. "WaUamc Butterfly" is the overture. This is followed by the review and a Burton Holmes scenic. The Russian Cathedral Uuartette and Eldora Stanford, soprano, render "In the Woods" and "Mighty Lak' a Rose" previous to the showing of "Romance." The concluding scenes of the feature are accompanied by a vocal number rendered back stage which proves very effective. Goldwyn Offices in Canada {Special to WID'S DAILY) Toronto, Can. — The report that oldwyn would establish its own offices in Canada is again being circulated. This time film men believe that the report is authentic because of the presence in the various exchange centers of J. D. Chantler, formerly with the du Font's Arlington company. A Broadway Rex Beach's "The Silver Horde," which pleased audiences at the Capitol last week, IS being presented at the Broadway this week, preceded by an appropriate prologue. A musical review entitled, "Girlies Club," with 20 people in the cast, is entertaining. The usual overture. Topics ot the Day, Moss {Continued from Page 1) news weekly and comedy are on the pro-|^\ires. while William Fait, Jr. crrQm J' l..

(Dold, Co :turc« ion WgW WOMt Exhibitor's Trade Review says: " 'The Silver Horde' ranks as a first-class program attraction. The action travels at top speed throughout, sweeps on from one very sensational scene to another and carries the spectators along in a veritable whirl o.' adventurous lure." Capitol For the benefit of those who still remember and those who never saw James A. Heme's long ago stage success, "Shore Acres," Metro has picturized the famous work which is being presented at the Capitol this week. Karl Jorn is again pleasing audiences m the presentation of the third act from "Lohengrin," which is being sung in English. The detail and setting of the opera has been reproduced with splendid accuracy. The usual short subjects, including a comedy with Mrs. Sidney Drew and the customary orchestral selections complete bill. .\t Goldwyn it was readily adin itted that Chantler was in Canada for the company and that he had been there for several months past. Nothing was sard, however, about the reoort that Goldwyn would establish its own offices in the Dominion. The .A.llens at present are the distributor there. The Lost Battalion will mee'l Monday, also. Fowler to Do Five Reele; i Roger W. Fowler of Fowler liliiii will make five reelers when his»r<"ent two reeler is completed.

Pk«M Cktbei II Rivoli For the second time Jack London's "The Sea Wolf" has been picturized. This time George Melford is responsible for the Paramount offering which holds the main place on the RivoU program. An appropriate selection by the Rivoli-Rialto male chorus, "A Sailors' Chorus," precedes the picture. The overture is Fifth Symphony m 1^ Minor. Other numbers are the Rivoli Pictorial, "Snub" Pollard comedy, "All Dressed Up," and another orchestra selection Forge in the Forest." "The Closes Deal With Walturdaw .\nother important Howells deal which has been in progress for several months, gives the productions of the First National for the United Kingdom to the Walturdaw Co., Ltd., for two years. It is said that the contract aggregates in excess of $2,500,000. Actors' Equity Branches Out At a meeting of the Actors' Equity Association on Monday both the Pacific coast motion picture branch of the organization and the Chorus Equity Association were admitted to the main body, whereas before they had been organizations of a distinctly separate character. This will automatically admit about 1,000 picture players into Equity, and prospect of 3,000 additional members is regarded as a certainty by Equity officials.
