Walter Huston In Leading Role War Drama Now Seen SCOTTISH RITE Stated meeting Lodge and Chapter. 7:30 p. m., May 9. Installation. L. E. Williams. Secy. A picture far excelling the Rialto theatre's usual line of top-flight films is "Of Human Hearts," the dramatic story of the Civil war, which opens a three day run today at the Rialto theatre. A picture so great In theme that even the great cast is of little im portance to the story It character izes, "Of Human Hearts" is the drama of a father and a mother and the love they bestowed upon their only son; the ungrateful re ward they won for their sacrifices; the mother's visit to the Great Emancipator, Abraham Lincoln, to replace her son In the hearts of his countrymen; and last of all, the final reckoning and the reunion of mother and son. "Of Human Hearts" Is considered of such Importance that the Rialto theatre will have no added attraction other than sel ected shorts for their three-day pro gram starting today.
