“Six Cylinder Love."
Laugh away your troubles at the
Rialto theatre today and tonight by
witnessing/"Six Cylinder Love," with
Ernest Truex. The picture opened
a. two-day engagement yesterday and
its final presentations will be made
today. "This is a high speed comdey.
Tomorrow the ilialto opensdts
three-day engagement of “A Son of
the Sahara." Thousands of Arabs,
horses, camels were used in the
adaptation of this famous novel.
“A Son of the Sahara." is an absorb-
ing American drama actually pho-
tographed in the great African
desert. in the quaint oasis villages,
in the harems of the sheiks and the
palaces of the Caids. A thrilling
ride by a wild horde of real Arabs
on a picturesque i-‘rcncii outpost held
by Sudanese troops. Scenes at the.
slave market in the public square
in‘a quaint old Algerian town. Great
camel caravans moving majestically
across the Sahara desert. These are
some of the high lights that feature
this picture.

who is entrusted with the starring
ran: in "The Darling of New York,"
the Universal—Jewel production to be
played at the l‘mgent theatre \Vcd-
iicsday, 'l‘hurscnr. and Friday, has
the facuty of l-cjig the same natur—
al child in from of the camera. that
one would imagine her elsewhere.
She occupies the center of interest
in an unusually colorful melodrama
in this I‘lll\'(‘l‘.\'lll production, which
is her first l“illlll‘C-ic‘llgtll starring
vehicle. The picture has been han-
(liC‘d in such a faw that there is
scarcely a scene in the play that

NEW YORK, May 6.-——Tiie Actors‘
Equity Association oecupies the spot
light this week, first With their an-
nual show, which is the ingest
thing ever seen on Broadway .With
pretty nearly all the stars in the
theatrical firament, and Secondly
with their contest with the produc-
ing and theatre managers for the
installation of the "closed" or
”Equity” shop in the American the-
atre. It is more pleasant to talk
about their big show given at the
Metropolitan Opera. House Sunday
afternoon and evening to an audi-
once which‘ taxed the full capacity.
of seats and standing room in the
biggest theatre we have. Here was a.
program which began at 8 o'clock
and may be going still so far as this
scribe knows. It is certaigi that up
to mignight the stars were still shin-
int: and the audience was still
lgughing. There are too marn good
things to pick any particular item
for mention. There were too m|ny
stars on the program to even repeat
tlu names-within newspaper space
limitations. The not result of the ef~
fort was about 10.000 delighted
folks who saw the Show. and $22.-
0th profit to the Equity.
C O O
The strike situation, in which the.
EQUHY plays so important a part.
looms clearer each day. The develop-
ments as this bulletin is issued is
that the managers are divided into
two camps, those willing to make
terms with the actors through liq-
uity and those who refuse to do so.
0f the latter the Schuberts are most
conspicuous. Schwyn and \‘l‘oods are
the ablest lieutenants. 0f the oppon-
ents, A. L. Erlangcr, David Belasco,
Arthur Hopkins, Sam Harris. George
M. Cohan and tho several other
llarrls's are numbered. The num-
erical strength of voting members
is against the Equity. but the latter
holds friendship with members con-
On June 1 every managerlwho has
not come to an agreement with Eq-
uity willbe on the black list. and no
actor or actress claiming member-
ship in Equity will be permitted. by
that association to serve these man-
agers. This means' that about one
third of the theatres here, and per-
haps a. larger proportion in other
cities. will be closed. The develop-
ments up to closing time indicates
that the managers association‘wili
be faced by a. group of seceders who
will form an oppasition association.
Thereafter thfiesult will be in the
laps of the gods ,and no, prophet is
result.

As to the new plays of the week,
the least said about them the bet-
ter. "Garden of \\'eeds”. by Leon
Gordon, was the only new play, and
it is new only in the sense that it
opened at the Gaiety Theatre last
ly for more seasons than the mind
can go back to, and the play is elig-
ible fot" that fast growing group rc-
prcsented by the "Best Bad Plays of
the Season". This group goes space,
and has of late taken on formidable
size.

Redding'" Expects Row
Over New Tax Rate
A spirited session is expected in
Redding, Friday night, when a spe-
cial town meeting is called to lay
the tax rate for the coming year and
another special meeting of the
school board. is called for the same
night to again discuss the lunch
talked of alternative proposition of
building additions to the schools or
transporting the children.
The tax rate for last year was 16
mills and with the large appropria-
tions for roads, made at a recent
meeting. it will be necessary to in-
crease the rates, probably two or
three mills.
The school board is divided three
to two on the town school question.
Some favor building additions on
the Ridge and \V‘est nodding schools
while the remainder favor trans-
porting otudents to the Center
school. ' -—‘»
Four petitions have been circulat-
ed and were presented to the school
board at the last meeting. 'the
weightiest was favoring transport-
ing students from \Vcst nodding to
the Center.
