"Flaming Youth" Wins
"Flaming Youth" Is making one of
the biggest hits of the year at the
Rialto theatre.
It treats of the laxity of the present
day girl in her observance of the con
ventions, and while in no way a
preachment, it points to the dangers
i nut uesei ino pieusure-joving Kin
who is likely to be just a trifle Indis
creet in her pursuit of happiness.
Replete with highly dramatic situ
ations, it tells, nevertheless, a charm
ing, romantic story.
The role of Patricia Fentrlss is an
ideal one for Colleen Moore. Other
parts are in the capable hands of
Milton Sills, Elliott Dexter, Myrtle
S ted man, Sylvia Breamer, Betty Fran
cisco, Phillips Smalley, Walter Mc
Grail and Ben Lyon.
"Tlio Covered: Wagon"

ductions of Its kind, and acclaimed by
the country's leading motion picture
critics, "The Covered Wagon" will be
revealed for the first time at the
Rialto theatre, matinee and night,
Friday and Saturday, Feb. 29, March
The story of "The Covered Wagon"
based on Emerson Hough's novel, is
typically American In both theme and
treatment. The heroic adventures of
the sturdy pioneers, when the assem
bled wagon trains set out from West

2000 miles away are vividly portrayed.
It is a drama of the men and women
who defied nil hardships In their ef
forts to settle and build up a mighty
empire. It is likewise a story of tho
love of the true hearted Mollle Win
gate and Will Banison, portrayed by
Lois Wilson and J. Warren Kerrigan.
