FILM AT COLISEUM i i Py A levee down the Mississippl. Roustabouts all set to load cotton. Everybody waiting for the Nelly Bly to dock. A few straggling pas- sengers preparing to go aboard. High-stepping, full-blooded horses, hooded and blanketed about to go on a trip. Cargo of all sorts lying around—crates of chickens, furni- ture. | Excited spectators on hand to scol‘ the sights and perhaps to welcome new arrivals. Strains of “Ezekile Saw de Wheel,” with the voices blending in the sweetest harmony. And then—the Nelly Bly! It comes into sight with the captain on the bridge, the mate shouting or- ders, sounds of the gangplank being made ready to let down. Whistles. | Bells. Paddle wheel sloshing. Engine exhaust playing a deep staccato. Activity on the levee at its height Passengers come ashore, others go aboard. The roustabouts pile up the | bales of cotton on the deck as they sing a rhythmic song ! In the rear of the crowd are fwo figures—that of an aged man and a little boy—in whose lives their greatest dramatic moment is about to be spent. That is an example of the atmos- phere of the Old South as it is built up in “Hearts in Dixie,” Fox Movietone all-talking, singing and dancing production. This picture, which has its set-! tings among the cotton fields, along the levees and other places of the Southland, is an entirely new de- parture in motion pictures in that, being 100 per cent dialogue, it yet utilizes vocal and instrumental music to accentuate the develop- ment of the story. 2 r | WILD WEST SHOW AT | PALACE, LAST TIMES | R'I'here is no question but that the Palace theatre is showing one of the most picturesque Western mel- odramas that has been shown in this city for some time—Hoot Gib-I son, the mightiest of all dare-devil} screen cowboys, in “The Wild West | | | Show,” his latest Universal attrac- tion. “The Wild West Show” is a pleasantly surprising innovation. It contains a plot worthy of the! greatest productions and its play- ers have all been perfectly cast. Beautiful Dorothy Gulliver lends Hoot most able support in the femi- nine lead, The villain is most en- gagingly played by Allan Forrest with commendable smoothness. The principal comedian is portrayed by ‘Monte Montague and Gale Henry, assists with her usual dexterity. ;[ FEATURE FILM IN | bl COLORS IS COMING | [ The perfect argument in favor a visit to the Southwest is advanced ih Richard Dix’s latest starring pie- ture for Paramount, “Redskin.” The scenic beauties of the region are| shown in this film in all the splen- dor of their variegated colorings. ALl the exterior sequences were made on the Indian reservations of the region. | “Redskin,” which the Coliseum theatre has booked for showing starting Sunday, makes motion pic- ture history. It is the first time that a feature film, done in color, utilized the natural backgrounds of the Southland. — T “WON IN THE CLOUDS" | AT PALACE FRIDAY | on in the Clouds,” the Uni- versal aerial melodrama Wwhich comes to the Palace theatre Friday, is perhaps one of the greatest air ilms yet produced. The story ftself is one of the most ihrilling tales ever published and the screen version has added tasty ithe indirect tax on the whole pros- THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, THURSDAY, DEC. 5,.1929. 7Daily Cross;wof(l Puzzlc; 6.
