RIVAL STARS SCINTILLATE ATP0RT0LA Laughter reigns at tbe Portola The ater, where Harold Lloyd in his latest comedy, "High and Diizy," is the featured attraction. Much photo graphic trickery prevails in the pic ture, and "how do they do it?" is 4 question that may be heard anywhere in the house. Tbe most mirth-pro voking scenes are those In which I Lloyd, in a state of Inebriation brought about by too free indulgence in home-made beverage, walks along the narrow ledge of the tip-top floor of a hotel. It's a trick you must see to appreciate and it brings roars of laugnier. Frank Mayo In a daring story of the Mississippi is the co-starring at traction.

He lives up to the oppor tunity offered him and presents many bits of splendid acting. The photog raphy and locale are true to form. Fryor and the Portola Orchestra offer a varied program of musical hits, featuring the popular fox-trot. "Sudan." Short reel features assisted in rounding out a perfect picture program. "Way Down East" Not to Be Cheapened To set at rest rumors that "Way Down East," the colossal film drama, delighting capacity houses in its closing week at the Curran, would later appear in photoplay theater programs, D.

W. Griffith yesterday wired his representative at the Curran that such a course would never be pur sued. IMPERIAL HAS crvnnDrnTTTTVTn mr THINK ABOUT' By THOMAS NUNAN. Ther is a philosophic trend, of thought along modern lines in some of the latest and most important photoplay successes, such as "The Miracle Man" and "Humoresque," for instance, and this is the dominating feature in Cecil B. Dje MlHe's newest Faramount production, "'Something to Think About," now occupying the Imperial screen.

Y' 5. life's greatest mistakes." One of the captions tells us, "are those bridges that we burn behind us." Again: "Sometimes Fate takes us -at our word and if we ask a curse we get a curse." Later, confronting the greatest difficulty of her unhappy career, the heroine is urged fco "drop the human mind and try the divine." This she does, and her perplexities are at an end, the blind man sees and away the cripple throws his crutches. The story, written by Jeanle Mac-pherson, of "Why Change Your Wife" and "Male and Female" screen celebrity, takes credit for "Something to Think About" the story of which is officially told in. these words: "A rich man, David Markley, becoming interested itt Ruth as a small girl, sends her away to school. She returns a young and beautiful woman, and it is understood that she and Markley are to marry.1 On the impulse of the moment she elopes with a youth of the village.

Her husband, killed in an accident. leaves her destitute, and, returning to her native town to find her father blinded she is in despair, until a series of dramatic events leads to her reconciliation with Markley." Gloria Swanson plays the girl, "with TJieodore Roberts as the father who becomes blinded when he invokes a curse "that he may. never see his daughter again," and- Fate takes him at his word. Monte Blue, Elliot Dexter and Theodore Kosloff are among the others in the exoellent cast. A highly interesting production has been made from the uplifting story, but the philosophy, is the striking and most valuable feature of it.

The Imperial program Includes a news review, with musio by Sever! and the Imperial concert orchestra and the Harmony Trio. Newman's College Bill Attractive A well-balanced bill at Newman's College Theatre Is headed by J. War ren Kerrigan in "No. 99." The ninth episode of "Dare Devil Jack," featuring Dempsey, the Pathe Review, The Newman's College Campus News, a Texas Guinan western pic ture and Ben Turpin in the comedy, "He Looked Crooked," are the of feringa, with "Pirate Gold" as a special matinee attraction. Lieutenant Omer Lock! ear, In his last picture, "The Skywayman," which opened to packed houses all of yesterday, shows what America and tho world owe1 to this lnterepid airman and his pilot.

Lieutenant Milton Elliott The picture Is a thriller, but much more than a thriller; it Is a permanent record of a great scientific achievement, of a series of forward steps In the conquest of the air. LockJear taught the world by startling it. It Is worthy of public attention that ten per cent of the profits from the exhibition of this picture throughout America is to be given to the families of Locklear and his pilot. Lieutenant Milton Klllott. 'The Skywayman" Is a romance of the air.

As the story was written for thrills, so it was filmed, in five note worthy reels. It shows Locklear's death-defying feats; his last flight, and a "close-up" of his burning plane in its spectacular crash to earth. The film is run slowly at this point so that the audience can better see the fatal accident that tbe camera has faithfully recorded. Other special Strand attractions are a Sunset-Burrud scenic, "The Land of Living Color," a Sunshine comedy. Ten Nights Without a Bar Room." Mutt and Jeff, the latest news, Sarah Dayton lathe latest songs, and McKinney and his orchestra, with Alton at the organ.

NOVELTY AT CALIFORNIA Three attractions of unusual interest and importance are on the California program for this week. The screen feature presents Wanda Haw-ley and Harrison Ford in "Food for Scandal." Then comes "The Melody Shop" with a cast- of fifteen, presenting all the latest song hits. Third is Buster, Keaton in the first of his series of comedies entitled "One yi In this three-ln-cme bin Miss Haw. ley as the feminine star of "Food for Scandal," has full chance to show her versatility.

Playing Sylvia Figueroa, heiress of a- proud old California, family and later becoming "Maybelle Flowers," the Girl" of the she hits upon a line of comedy entirely different from that produced in the story of the super-faddish manbater. And it need not be said that in this tale of Spanish America and the footlight beautiful clothes- are lavishly displayed. Harrison Ford, la support of Miss Haw-ley, repeats his usual success. "The Melody Shop" again Introduces Mary White, Sherry Hall, Mort Harris and Ford, Rush, who are the stars- of the act. The numbers are "Old Pal," "Whispering," "Wonderful Eyes," "Avalon," "Jlnga Bula," "Japanese Sandman" and "Cpral Sea." This second edition greatly surpasses the original production.

The comedy, 100 per cent fun, Bhows Buster Keaton in the slapstick work that made him famous when he was featured with Fatty Arbuckle. It is called "One Week" and is a riot from start to finish. Herman Heller and the California Theater Orchestra play Suppe'a "Light Cavalry" and a popular foxtrot, "Chile fcBans." C. Sharpe Minor offers Czilbulka's "La Czarina." $1 WEEK WATCHES AND DIAMONDS No red tape. Claus Spreckels 783 Market St.

San Francisco, Oct 10, 1920. Jffiss May Yohe, Formerly Lady Francis Hope, Rialto Theater, San Francisco. Mrs. Captain Smuts: I believe it is in the latter way that I should address you Bince you pave Up royalty and that biff diamond to marry the Captain and make your borne In California. Your life story in the "Sunday Examiner" has been mighty good reading, and I have followed it so closely that I feel perfectly well acquainted With you, which is my reason for writing- And in Friday or Saturday's paper Noticed an article in which you said that you were not an antique, and that you could sing and dance as well as you did when the world was at your feet.

I.This afternoon I went to verify tMese assertions by watching your stage performance at the Rialto. and for the time being I was as nearly at your feet as anybody in the world for Isat in the front row so as to get a good close up view of your long-eelebrated beauty. And now I must agree with everything you said in "The Examiner," last week. You certainly are not an antique. As you came out in that dazzling evening dress and if one were inclined to be jocular about the prevailing extremes of fashion he might say that you almost came out of it, I could see for myself that what you said was true.

I liked your little mpnologuish act in which you cleverly told of your investing twice in matrimonial bonds, without drawing any dividends. You said your first venture brought a peach, the second a lemon, and now you were happily Haired or something to that effect. I could not determine whether you till sing and dance as well as you Used to, for today you only sang. Your tlvo songs were presented in pleasing voice. The titles.

I should Judge were "Because I'm Love With You Dear" and "The Land of Dreams," although these may be regarded aa to Bpme extent synonymous. As before stated, it was a great pleasure to see you, and I think that everybody in town will attend the IQalto this week. When you finished your act, I went back a dozen rows of so to watch the feature picture, 'Milestones." This is a very fine production of the stage play, which Ban Francisco found so delightful during a couple of engagements at the Columbia. Really, Miss Yohe, there is nothing prettier in the films than "Jlilestones." also waited to see Judge Rummy Itt "The Prize Dance," the screen bowing of "Frontier Days" In Arizona, and several other short subjects, besides listening to Coletti and the Rialto Orchestra in "Mikado" selections. So 1 am late with my work can write no more this time.

Will get another glimpse of you at tile Rialto some time during the week. Yours as always, i TH6MAS NUNAN. -t I 5j2k err" JI REAL, 12 Mtetone MAY Ow timfnmiial JsMJ? oi ti?

She presents a new and wonderful Interpretation of this char acter, around whose stormy and sad life the action of the play moves. The dramatic intensity of the trial scene has seldom been equaled in any play, particularly when Madame recognizes as her son the young law yer defending her, and her husband as the man sitting beside the Judge.

Edna Hopper Opens At Savoy Tonight Six nights and two matinees of merriment are assured at the Savoy, beginning this evening, whenO. M.
