Robert North Bradbury, supervisor of Western productions for FBO and Bob Steel's father, realized that his son would undoubtedly inherit a de- sire for the stage or streen, because both his father and mother had been legitimate actors of note. So| Bradbury decided htat the rugged life of a Western star was the best that the screen had to offer. Bob was started on a rigorous course of training when he was barely able to walk. He learned to ride almost as soon as he could sit | on a horse. Bob became the leader of a band of juvenile cowboys in his home town but before long he had grad- uated from the ranks of cowboys| of his own age and used to match his prowess with veterans of the| range. He became known through-| out the region in which ne lived as a master of the saddle and the lariat. For two years, Bob Steele was a life guard at California beaches. He made his first big stride in the movies when he was given a con- tract by Hal Roach. When just 21 years old he played his frist starring role for FBO in “The Mo- jave Kid,” which received favorable comment all over the country. Hs' latest picture, “The Riding Rene: gade,” is at the Coliseum tonight. n [ el W S B S I | “SHEPHERD OF HILLS” | LAST TIME AT PALACE A telescopic camera lens that takes “close-ups” at a range of ¢ mile was part of the camera equip- | ment assembled by Sol Polito, cine- ma camera artist who photographed First National's version of Shepherd of the Hills.” The lens had never been used before in a feature production, buf it developed from those used dur- ing the World War, and an im-| proved type used to photograph | wild animals in Africa. Some of the most beautiful exterior photog- | raphy ever shown on the screen is a feature of “The Shepherd of the | Hills,” now showing at the Palace for the last times tonight. 34 i “LOVES OF CARMEN”" | COLISEUM SUNDAY | [+ @ Bull-fighting must be set down as one of the chief amusements of Spain. It is said that the science of bull-fighting boasts a high an- tiquity and when performed in the proper manner presents a spec- tacle second to nome in the realm of sport. In the Fox Films production of “Loves of Carmen,” at the Coliseum Sunday, made under direction of Raoul Walsh, maker of “What Price Glory,” with Victor McLag- Jlen, Dolores del Rio and Don Alva- rado in the leading roles, the art ol, combat in the arena is visualized | to the most perfect degree. All| scenes pertaining to this phase of the spectacular film drama were made under the observation of Senor F. More de La Torre, noted Spanish sculptor, whose close as- sociation with the Spanish national “The | 'sport made him a valued technim]‘ adviser. Earl Burtnett is nol oniy the or- ganizer of the Biltmore Hotel Or- chestra, but he is the author of such | popular songs as “Mandalay,” “Do You Ever Think Of Me,” “Leave Me With a Smile,” “Sleep,” and “If I should Lose You.” The lasy is his newest hit and is coming into popular favor. Burtnett will be seen and heard with his orchestra in the Vitaphone presentation on the Coliseum’s Sunday program. JOHNNY H S 1 AT PALACE SUNDAY |! = SRR For probably the first time a comedy situation was acted and photographed in complete darkness. Although motion picture come- dies invariably follow the rule of |lights, more lights, and additional lights, one scene in “The Wright Idea,” Johnny Hines’' latest First National picture produced by C. |C. Burr, was made in the dark. It furnishes one of the biggest :I'nuzhs in the story and brings the | picture to a smashing finish. The | story, written by Jack Townley, a Hollywood newspaper man, deals with the invention of a blotterless ;and luminous ink, and presents ‘Juhnny Hines with one of his fun- iniest vehicles, it is said. | Louise Lorraine who scored heav- {ily opposite the comedian in his |last picture “Chinatown Charlie” |is seen with him again as well as many other important players in- cluding Edmund Breese, Walter | James, Fred Kelsey, Henry Bar- rows, Henry Hebert, Charles Giblyn, | George Irving, Blanche Craig, Betty |Egan, Kashi Heraldi and others.
