RIALTO AND REGENT, EPSOM

A REGINALD DENNY PICTURE “On Your Toes,” Reginald Denny’s latest picture, will be shown at the Rialto and Regent (Epsom) Theatres this evening. The film depicts Denny in the role of a boxer who fights his way to the heavy-weight championship of the world. It is the most successful picture the star has appeared in since entering the screen world. Supporting him in the picture are Bturbara Worth as the leading lady, Hayden Stevenson, Frank Hagney, Mary Carr, Gertrude Howard and George West. “Life’s Circus,” a moving panorama of the circus world, will also l»e shown, with Mary Johnson in the leading role. The Cirque Modern is in Paris, and a turn called the “Death Glide” is advertised in which a young gir! makes a sensational and dangerous descent in a car down a slipway. She shrinks from the ordeal, but is coerced by a brutal stepfather and falls into a state of nervous prostration. How the girl is rescued by two brothers, who are trapeze artists but never speak to one another, makes a most entertaining film.

Included in the cast of the Universal film extravaganza, “The Prince of Adventurers,” is a beautiful Italian aristocrat, the Counters Rina de Liguoro. This is the first occasion in which a member of royalty in a regally governed country has appeared in a conspicuous role in a screen production. The Countess appears as an elaborately costumed serving maid to Ivan Xosjoukine in the opening scenes of the picture, and has a particularly entrancing role to portray.
