Attractions At Theatres | . | “RIO RITA” AGAIN | AT PALACE TONIGHT | ! ] “Rio Rita,” the all-talking, all- imusical Radio Pictures’ extrava- ganza, which opened at the Palace | Theatre yesterday, is evidence— {tuneful, colorful evidence—that the |screen has touched a new high ymark in entertainment. ,. As the first operetta in sound and color, “Rio Rita” opens up a greal new vista of entertainment | to those cities and towns geogra- phically barred from the Broadway | spectacles of Ziegfeld and the Shu- berts. . Yet it is equestionable whether Ziegfeld himself ever so “glorified” a show as Radio Pictures has done to “Rlo Rita.” Certainly the| wider _ limitations of the camera have given, to the gay romance of the Rio Grande more movement and action than could ever have been accomplished on the stage. " Interesting ase fs_the story, lav- ish as are the sets and costumes, it “Rio Rita" to the peak of audience appeal. Bebe Daniels, in the title role, is no less than a sensation with her new-found voice. No heralded prima donna of the opera ever so fascinated an audience as did Miss Daniels last night as she sang more than a dozen of Harry Tierney's beautiful melodies, . John Boles, erstwhile musical icomedy star, is excellent as leading man with Miss Daniels. Pressing the leading characters for honors of the piece, howeyer, are Bert Wheel- er, Dorothy Lee and Robert Wool- sey, who give to the show not only a generous share of comedy, but contribute much to its large sharg of dancing and singing. GEORGE ARLISS HERE :i IN TALKING “DISRAELI” | ° A masterplece of a picture struc'k town last night and gave a first night audience a genuine thrill. That is why we advise everybody who enjoys an honest to goodness show, to see and hear “Disraeli,” the Warner Bros. and Vitaphone production starring George Arliss, at the Coliseum Theatre. Its ab- sorbing story is acted by one of the finest casts seen here in years. The distinction of George Arliss in the title role is something that will linger in the memory long after a legion of ordinary pictures have come and passed into oblivion. ‘The part of “Disraeli” fits Arliss like the proverbial glove. One is startled time and again by the un- {canny resemblance between the ac- tor and the statesman who be- came the English Prime Minister and acquired for his country the Suez Canal and the power that went with it. A variety of cun- ning tricks are in the Arliss bag. Disraeli was a many faceted per- sonality who achieved his ends either by cruel directness or sinu- ous subtlety, according to circum- stances. Arliss is called upon to be sinister and masklike, wheed- ling and fascinating, human and appealing. And never once does he fail to convinge, We give unstinted praise to all those concerned in making this exceptional picture., It is, without {a doubt, one of the few artistic {achievements of the screen. Joan Bennett is bewitching as Lady Clarissa; Anthony Bushell splendid in the role of Lord Charles Dee- ford. Florence Arliss is Lady Bea- consfield, wife of Disraell; David Torrence, the head of the Bank of England; beautiful Doris Lloyd portrays the spy, Mrs. Travers; and Ivan Simpson is the international banker, Hugh Meyers.

No sooner was that statement in print than impudent young un- knowns began crashing the drama's news pages with overnight entries into the movie world. They joined Edwina Booth ani Lucille Powers in the ranks of risen extras, or came to the screen di- rect from other walks of life, like Banker, recently cited here, who came from Tulane University with no training whatever, not even an extra's. “Upstarts” Now little Joan Lawes, nicknani- ed “Cheérie” by prisoners in Sing bmg where her father is warden, has joined the contract lists and is seeing Hollywood with all the quiet eagerness of her eight years. Joan, blue-eyed and freckled, sang and danced for a talking newsreel |made at the prison, and was called to the attention of Director John Ford, who had her signed by his studio. She and Tommy Clifford, the lit- tle 1l-year-old from Ireland, al- ready are studio pals. Another newcomer is Jane Keith, who as Jane Keithley came from Chicago to Hollywood and worked extra when she could while main- taining a secretarial position in Los Angeles. When it - was announced that “unknowns" stood as good a chance as recognized players for the only feminine role in “The Sea Wolf, she applied. ! Her first test was a failure, but! she was given another and won the role. Other Cases It took two tests also to obtair a contract for Frances Dee, an other inexperienced extra, who fail- ed in her first, but later won out. Then there is John Wayne, wh) as Wayne Morrison and Duke Mor- rison worked as extra and prop| (man several years before he was| “discovered” and given the lead m: an important film.
