, ' - f " : if,- i - - PAGE TWO The New OREGON STATESMAN, Salem. Oregon, Sunday Morning, April 21, 1929 : I ON THE y Barthelmess and Compson in Adventures at Sea for "Weary River" Richard Barthelmess and his lea-.Jjng lady. Betty Comp3on, have had many cinematic adventures in the last two pictures of the First National star, "Scarlet Seas" and "Weary River." the- latter draw ing large crowds to the Elslnore theatre. For "Scarlet Seas," Barthelmess and his leading woman lhred aboard a windjammer otf the coast of Catallna Island, spent days in a lifeboat adrift at sea and all manner of ocean-going experi ences, but in "Weary River" they returned to civilization with its night life, cabarets', apartment houses, prisons, etc. In "Scarlet Seas" their charac terizations were rugged and pic turesque, in "Weary River" they come closer to the average man and woman, delineating more fa miliar type3. The story is brim ful of action and keeps moving from start to finish. For the first time Richard Barthelmess is heard on the Vltaphone and the charac ter he portrays both sings and plays the piano. The story of "Weary River" Is from the original by Courtney Ry ley Cooper and was adapted to the 4 i-creen by Bradley King. It was directed by Frank Lloyd and con tains a cast including George Stone, Raymond Turner, William Holden. Robert O'Connor and Louis Natheaux. On the stage Fanchon and Mar co "Varieties" offer a variety of high speed entertainment headed by many well known artists, rpccial bargain matinee Is nounced for Monday. an- Dffl LEE HIT IN E Child Natural Without Any Affectations Traceable to Most Progidies Davey Lee is said to be the greatest screen "find" In years. and the Warner Brothers are con gratulating themselves. The child is natural, with none of the af fectations of most theatre prodi gies; he Is amusing and wii.ning; lie acts, talks and sia.ss with a most ingratiating charm and a re freshing lack of caraera-consciolis-ness. The lines Davey is given to say are immaterial. When the young ster puckers up his face and says anything at all, from "Kin T de pend on that?" fo his prayers and then when he stands right up and sings "Sonny Boy" in a manner that one won't forget for a long time, the audience is his forever. Manager Frank Bligh of Bligu'j Capitol announces that "Sonny Boy" will open an Indefinite en-! gatement starting today. Other features on the bill are four very wonderful Vitsp'tone vaudeville acts, conssiting of Da vey Dreyer. famous composer and noted variety star who. with Nora Schiller will render a few of his latest tuns. Bobby Folsom. musi cal comedy and vaudeville star who will offer a distinctive act in the form of a narrative song. She will make the house roar, with her line of chatter and song. The black face team of Walter Weems and Ed Gar will present a little comedy act that is a riot. As the feature act on the bill. Larry Ceballos, will present his latest revue, the serpentine girls, and a number of stars will appear on this revue. ASSESSOR VISITS ZENA. April 20.
