..._..... . ”A. WEDNESDAY, (wrongs, 1924. AllllETilE'AiRES —-—~ RIAIII‘O. “Seen-m” Norma Talmade. in her latest pic- ture “Secrets,"now playing at the Rialto theatre, plays four different : roles in four different periods. and l in gowns of four different fashion cycles. It is a picture of modern romance "Regent l Today, Thursday, Friday 1 ‘74": H - ‘ ‘L with glimpses into three other periods of American home life Starting out in 1923. the picture later shows Norma as a young wife of the early days of Wyoming and the far west. Then the action switches to the year of 1870. Norma has become the mother of a. growing family. The passing years at the photoplay's story next show her in the gowns of the late ’80's of the last- century. Her hair has greyed and the children have grown but it is the same Nor- ma 0: the.early .sequences..ot the story. Last of all, Norma is shOWn again in modern costumes in 1923 settings. "Secrets." is an unusual picture. It has an unusual story which is de- veloped in a novel fashion. And in it Norma has a splendid opportunity i or which she avails herself to the 8 full. to display a remarkable range of characterization. One is hardly able to believe that the Norma seen in the early se~ quences is the same person who is later shown in grey hair. Here’s your greatest:- screen adventure.

Hart of New Haven, for 18 years construction engineer for the Con- necticut company, testifying for the American Trust company, plaintiffs, said, folowing a recent. survey by him, he estimated the sum of $120,- 000 as a. fair market value of the company's-tracks, cars and equip- ment. To modernize the lines, Mr. Hart said, would cost $172,000.

Oct. 8.—-The story; circulated several }cars ago about ' the theatrical manager who endeav- l cred to engage William Jennings: Bryan as a press agent has gene—é ally beeh considered a press agent myth. but it was and is a fact. Such . an otter was made. Other notable. offers of a like character have been made. and recently a nw producing firm in New York sent all the way to Chicago for Ben Hecht, whose name stands high in literary circles. to become the press agent for a ra- th’er erratic young actor who is en- gaged Just at present in an endeav or to make both ends meet in a new play. 'Clayto'n Hamilton, an astute dramaticcritlc has also been engag- ed to lecture before theatre clubs in cities to be visited 'by an all—star cast revival of "The Rivals," and F01;- tune Gall-o, a canny opera impress- ario, lately engaged a. gentleman who recently were a high hat and spoke about music to herald the coming of the San Carlo bpera Company. ‘ Indeed. our managers seem to be working overtime taxining their in- genuity to outdo- the other fellow in originality. And this logically sug- gests to Mollie Carroll, who makes a cursory view of the sltuation'between acts of "The Potters," in which she is acting. that it a manager sought the services or men competent and capable. rather than famous or dis- tinction. it might prove profitable—— as well as original.
