A
STAGE AND SCREEN
In "Tracked in the Snotv Country,”
■tarring Rin-Tin-Tin, the wonder dog.
at the Rialto theatre Friday and Sat­
urday, December 18 and 19, thia well
known canine actor has a number of
new thrills for thoae who havq seen
him in the several Warner Bros, pic­
tures in which he has been previously
presented. III h most sensational per­
formance in thia picture—if not, in­
deed, the most sensational in any of
his pictures—comes when he, the vil­
lain and the hero, are cornered in the
mine, and Rin-Tin-Tin finds himself
caught in a deep well, unable to come
escape- from the well with one marvel­
ous leap, trailing the villain across the
ice which breaks under him and sends
him down into the cold water from
which he tries vainly to extricate him­
self, but into which be is repeatedly
throws by the dog, to finally drown,
provides breathless moments for the
audience.
"Tracked in the Snow Country,” as
the title indicates, is one of these
standard melodramas of the far north.
The story has to do with the attempt
of a villianous half-breed to steal from
an old miner and his beautiful daugh­
ter a rich gold mine which the old man
has discovered and is secretly work­
ing. Rin-Tin-Tin, the old miner’s faith­
ful dog, is largely Instrumental in de­
feating the purposes of the half-breed,

ranger, who is in love with the girL

tertainment. It is plausable and hu­
man. The situations are laughable to
extremes, the story moves fast, and
each member of the excellent cast un­
der the direction of Scott Sidney per­
forms his part as a unit'of a perfect
machine.
----
The plot consists of matrimonial
tangle. .A young man, celebrating the
first anniversary of bis divorce with a
party, finds his household thrown into
chaos by the appearance of sms lipox
among the servants.
A rich aunt, whom he has kept in ig­
norance of his divorce, arrives unex­
pectedly, and he induces another girl
in the party to pose as his wife. Short­
ly after this his divorced wife comes
in, and then the house is quarantined
as- n result of the servant’s disease.'
There is also a cop and a burglar
■round which much of the fun revolves.
The deception is kept up f*>r seven
days, when the quarantine is raiaqt
and all parties are worn out plnylqg
their deceptive roles.

“Stop Flirting,” the new Christie
comedy at the Rialto next Wednesday,
la a pure comedy—farce, a little frothy
and nonsensical and designed exclusive­
ly to yield entertainment and laugha.
One la supposed to decide for oneself
whether or not the plot Is based on a
moral. All that the picture promises
to do is to call forth laughs.
The setting of the picture is a rather
fashionable seaside resort at which the
hero flnda himself entertaining a great
crowd of unwelcome guests, most, of
them flirtatious youths visiting at the
request of the host’s fiancee. He deter­
mines to cure her of flirting by giving
her a good scare but his trick is dis­
covered by the lovely lady and she
makes him do a pretty dance before she
takes him beck to her heart.
The picture is played by an excep­
tional cast including John T. Murray,
Wanda Hawley, Ethel Bhannon, Vera
Steadman and Jimmie Adams.
