THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, FRIDAY, MAY 16, 1930. T T T TC I T T aa— “BEAU BANDIT” LAST TIMES AT PALACE PALACE LAST TIMES TONIGHT flRugged realism and the scenic splendor of the southwestern desert form the pattern of “Beau Bandit,” Radio Pictures’ thrilling outdoor talking picture, which opened yes- terday at the Palace theatre, and is on for the last times tonight. To those patrons of the motion pictures who have had more than their fill of the indoor sound stage scenes, which have been in predom- inance since the introduction of talking pictures, “Beau Bandit” will come as a welcome relief, Practi- cally every scene was filmed in na- ture's own setting. The beauty of the Arizona desert country gives a sweep to the film which never could have been attained within the confines of a studio set. “Beau Bandit” is well suited as a starring vehicle for Rod La Rocque. for it allows him to repeat the suc- cess he attained as a delightfully swaggering villain in “The Delight- ful ‘Rogue,” his previous film for Radio Pictures. La Rocque plays his latest role with an ability which marks him as one of the most ac- complished players in talking pic- tures. Beautiful Doris Kenyon plays op- posite La Rocque and contributes an ,admirable piece of work. It is her first film appearance since her role in “Interference,” one of the early | talkers, and Miss Kenyon's talents have become even more marked \PHOTOPHONE, SOUND NEWS TALKING COMEDY ODDITY—Scenic MOVIETONE ACT BIG ALL TALKING WESTERN “BEAU BANDIT” with ROD LA ROCQUE and DORIS KENYON 10-25-50—Loges 75¢ Save the Difference and | Since that time.

Sonny Boy's parents, having disagreed, his mother’s sister kid- naps Davey, to make the father come to time. ‘The picture is well- jcast and well-directed, but it is the tantalizing personality of tiny Davey that dominates. He is so very tiny, his eyes have {such an elfin twinkle, and his wink |is so captivating, that audiences are in a state of continual “ohs” and 3 |“ahs,” and their laughter is near | |the verge of tears. Davey is supported by a star cast including Betty Bronson, Edward Everett Horton, Gertrude Olmsted, John T. Murray, Tommy Dugan, Lucy Beaumont, Edmund Breese and Jed Prouty. The story is by Leon Zuardo. C. Graham Baker Attractions 3 | At Theatres “THE DUMMY” | COLISEUM ‘e AT TONIGHT Paramount’s one hundred per cent talking picture, “The Dummy,” which will show at the Coliseum tonight, is a sparkling combina- tion of comedy and melodrama, re- plete with clean humor and tense, thrilling action. [ ‘The picture has an Imposing cast of players, all of whom have won renown on the legitimate stage or before the movie camera.

For William de Mille's filmization of the stage hit, as a hundred percent talking glay, goes far beyond what audiences were enabled to see when they witnessed it as a lejitimate stage play back of the footlights. This new Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer production, coming soon to the Palace, is a romance crowded with comedy, heart interest and, here and there, tears. Lavishly cast, with cutstanding artists of the screen and stage, it is a veritable cross section of life as lived by the average American family. All its characters, moreover, are intensely interesting. Conrad Nagel, whose splendid voice has scored him many recent talking film successes, plays the young multimillionaire who mar- ries his pretty stenographer. He gives a perfect performance, as usual. Leila Hyams not only quali- fies for the bride's role by being beautiful, but proves a very talented actress, and Bessie Love, late hit of the “Broadway Melody,” is per- fect as the “flappery” little sister.
