MARIE DRESSLER AT THE QUEEN'S.
Marie Dressler is an Horatio Alger heroine come to life. In her stage career she has come all the way from the back row of the chorus to stardoma, and in pictures she has been a reigning star for many years. She was born in Coburg, Canada, daughter of a musician. There is nothing she hasn't done in the show business, having appeared in the circus before going on the stage. She is reading self-educated,

Ruth Chatterton who was a star. in her own right on Broadway, has one of the leading roles. Opposite her is H. B. Warner, another "veteran" of the stage, who portrays his character per- fectly.

"Rio Rita" Coming.
The first great dramatic spec- tacle of the talking screen-Radio Pictures production of Florenz Ziegfeld's fabulous operetta, 'Rio Rita' comes to the Central Thea- tre next week.
With John Boles and Bebe. Daniels heading a gigantic cast of players, singers, dancers, beauties and specialty performers, "Río. Rita" takes its place among the great screen plays of all time. In its wealth of diversified entertain- ment it has doubtless never been equalled. Bert Wheeler and Robert Woolsey play the comedy role they created for Ziegfeld; Dorothy Lee, the baby-talk girl of "Syncopation;" Helen Kaiser, one of Ziegfeld's "glorified" girls; Georges Renevant, French stage star, and Don Alvarado are others of the featured cast.
Much of the film was photo. graphed in technicolour and the sets and costumes are said to have outdone anything seen on the talk ing screen.
