ing at. the Rialto for the last time
today.
The story is meant to portray the
jazz age and its attendant'evils. In
places it is inconsistent. but there is
much dramaticxinterest in the situa-
tion. It. is built around a man who
lives a colorful, adventurous life in
South America. but keeps always he.
tore him the ideal of a perfect love
for his childhood sweetheart. who is
growing up into a typical "flapper" '
back home.
A sudden legacy makes it possible
for him to return to her. but he is
too late. She has already fallen a
victim to the modern jazzmania. and
although she tries to conceal it, she
breaks down on her wedding day 'and
tells him everything. Then she takes
poison. The man goes back again to
South. America and forgets his hurt
by dancing. too.
Alma. Rubens, cast in the role of
the South American dancing girl, is

strained in her acting as always.
