Through the magic of the talk- ing picture, “The Desert Song” one of the most tuneful and most pop- ular musical plays ever shown on the stage, has been brought to the screen, and has been produced on a scale that would be inpossible in the theatre. Sigmund Romberg’s score with its magnificent choruses and the lilting charm of its beautiful solo numbers, has been reproduced by Vitaphone in all its original glory. The remarkable production quali- ties included in “The Desert Song” have been equalled by the unusual cxcellence of the all-star cast pre- sented by Warner Brothers. The scenes throughout the picture are especially beautiful, ranging from an extensive French military post in Morocco to encampments of the Red Shadow and his band of native Riffs in rocky passes of the mountains, and far-flung vistas of the rolling sands of the great African deserts, with the Riffs, einging as they go, riding their magnificent horses at breakneck speed into the setting sun. The all-star cast of “The Desert Song” includes John Boles, Louise Fazenda, Carlotta King, Johnny Ar- thur, John Miljan, Marie Wells, Jack Pratt, Edward Martindel, Otto Hoffman, Robert E. Guzman, Myr- na Loy and many others, as well as a chorus of one hundred beau- tiful Roy Del Ruth di- rected, and the operetta was adapt- What drama! What of the really great screen moments.

Ordinarily a man or woman,| when ' questioned on such a sub- | ject, would say: “If I had my life | ‘o live over, I should have taken up this or that, rather than my own profession.” Not so with Miss Basquette. This vivacious brunette, adopted iaughter ‘of Ernest Belcher, famous jancing instructor, believes dancing to be the most beneficial profes- | sion in the world. “Everyone should dance,” she. something that is healthful? I've ilways thought that if I would 30 into business, I should prefer 0 deal in necessities rather than luxuries for the simple reason that/ it would be more certain. “However, I started to dance long before I knew what I really want- 2d to do, but I still feel it the most important function in life.” Miss Basquette is playing oppo- site Barthelmess for the secopd time, having scored a distinct hit in “The Noose,” opposite the same star. ? | "R L S R When you see “Fangs of Des- - HANDLED MEGAPHONE ) “FANGS OF DESTINY” | tiny,” & Universal Feature Wemmlnon NOTICES AT THE Dlmzlmnny men fall for, but only the; Olm and Alec Miller. the 'whlch comes to the Palace theatre | Friday and Saturday, you'll see a| picture made under the direction | of Stuart Paton, the veteran di- rector who is famous as the man [who filmed the screen ver: | WHO IS WHU “Twenty Thousand Leag Sea,” the immortal classic | Jules Verne, 1 About twelve or thirteen years ago, when movies were being made in disused stables and abandoned |lofts; when the nickelodeon held| sway in stores which had beer (converted to show the “flickers and “quickies,” Stuart Paton was directing pictures in the hay loft of an old livery stable in Holl)- | wood. o The contrasting types of charac- ters in the comedy “Cappy Ricks,” on to be produced by the Local American Legion Post, make the play interesting from start to fin- ish. Ellen Murray, formerly known as “Goldie Glake,” of the Ziegfeld beauty chorus, is the type of a girl | that everyone likes. That may be why she is engaged to the son of a millionaire. “Cappy,” who " {case it was both. LEGION SHUW ‘righv. one will be chosen. I“lcr-f ence Ricks is one of the reasons why the comedy will be worth witnessing. Hazel Petrich will look | and act this character in a charm- ing and effective manner. | Cecil Pericles Bernard is the| son of a rich father. This is, of course, fortunate, or unfortunate, Just as one looks at it. In Cecil His travels abroad, and his associations with Amcrican snobs, had imbued him, with .what Cappy Ricks cohsidered “un-American ideas” which Cappy, in his own way, proceeded to take out of him. Among other things,; Cappy told him that he would have to get “that Englishman kicked out; of you and some honest to God Americanism kicked into you!” Ce- cil has rather a difficult time of it, and the embarrassing situations| he experiences furnish a lot of fun| and laughs for the audience. Wil- fred Leivers will be Cecil and, ow- ing to the rough handling which is accorded him, he should be awarded a medal after it is all ‘over. These are a few of the characters and the roles they play in the pro-‘ ductiop soon to be shown at the Coliseum Theatre by Alford John| Bradford Post No. 4, American Le-’ gion. It is sparkling with wit, and humor throughout, and is amusing to children and grown-| ups as well. The prices of admis- sion will be popular and the com-| mittee has greatly reduced ithe, prices for children so that they may see the show, tob, at a small expense.
