THEATRE NOTES
RIALTO
Douglas Fairbanks with Billie
Dove this afternoon at the ltiaito
theatre opened their engagement of
{our days in "The Black Pirate."
This picture is in natural colors and
is a. thing of beauty.
It carries with
it a story crammed with interest
from its very start.
it brings to the screen love in the
days of bold buccaneers. adventuho
with invigorating tang of the salt
sea. The hang of the flintlock. the
swish or the sword. the roar of the
cannon. the rollicking. fighting story
of a brave sea rover.
You can't miss “The Black Pir-
ate." if you like the throb of ro.
mance and the tingling pulse of life.
Douglas Fairbanks never crowded so
much thrilling. colorful Joy into a
film before.
