'Adverse' Epic;
: Is at Elsinore
Ilervey Allen's Literary
Classic on Screen Is
Elaborate Affair
"Anthony Adverse la the lat
word in magnificent -screen en
tertainment. This truly anxiously awaited
Warner Bros, production which
had its local premiere at the El
sinore theatre - yesterday, held
. audiences in a spell of breathless
suspense as reel after reel en
folded the Tirid story of Kerrey
Allen's monumental literary class
ic. . : : . -
The picture follows the roman
tic adventures of "Anthony Ad
, verso through five countries, ac
ross the seas and over three con
tinents. For mammoth sets, for
colorful and picturesque back
grounds, for dynamic action, for
the unusual characterizations of
its tremendous cast from Fredric
March,- the star, down to the
smallest bit player, for the glam
or of its romance, its. human In-
terest and sheer, unadulterated
entertainment, this picture Is un
surpassed. Warner Bros, have again ac
complished the apparently im
possible. It has a tremendous cast, with
ninety-eight speaking- parts' and
2,500 bit players and extras.
But all this, while full of col
or. Is but the-background for a
drama of human life, its loves and
hates, its hopes and its disappoint
ments; its desires and its passions;
its vain and futile struttings and
-its vast achievements. -
Fredric March has given the
screen some wonderful portrayals
in the past, but never has he risen
to the heights of dramatic fire as
la the title role of this picture.
His Anthony la a living, breath
- Ing person, stepping out of a book
into real life on the screen.'
He is ably supported by Olivia
-de Havtlland, -who .came to screen
-prominence with her work in "A
Midsummer Night's Dream" and
"Captain Blood." This is Miss
de Havilland's first great emotion
al rol and she rises to it wfth
true artistry.

'Ramona Film
Now at Grand
Technicolor Well Fitted
To This Classic of
Early America
In the presentation of Ro-
mpna, which opened yesterday at
the Grand theatre, 20th Century
Fox has added another great tri
umph to its already imposing ros
ter of cinema successes. Flashing
action on a far-flung scale com
bined with its production In the
new perfected technicolor, make
"Ramona one of the most im
portant pictures of the year, an
exciting picturlzation of Helen
Hunt : Jackson's Immortal love
story.
Loretta Tonng is featured as
Ramona, with Don Amacne as
Alessandro, and the splendid sup
porting cast Includes snch play
ers as Kent Taylor. Pauline Fred
erick. Jane Darwell, Katherine De
Mille and John Carradtne. in
addition, hundreds of persons
were recruited from the Mesa
Grande district representing set
tlers and local characters:
The techlcolor is tremendously
effective because it is absolutely,
indispntedly true to life. Since a
large part of the picture called
for out-of-door scenes, the main
location for the filming of "Ro
mona" was a 55,000-acre ranch
in the Mesa Grande area ot the
beautiful San Jaeinto Mountains
in California, 140 miles southeast
of Los Angeles, where the natural
beauty of the region made a per
fect setting.' -.
"Romona" Is a picture that fair
ly teems with h i g h romance
fiestas, fandangos, sengs, roses,
secret trysts, mission- bells, stol
en kisses, tears, love and laugh
ter, it la one ot the greatest lore
stories ever unfolded on the
screen. All the rainbow beauty of
adventure-crowded California of
the early days has been recaptured
and again as of old Ramona goes
to meet love in the purple dusk.
Loretta Yonng is superb in the
title role, playing the part with
deep feeling and understanding.
Her highly artlstle performance
should farther her career trmend-
ousiy. As Ramona, Miss Young
will undobtedly win a host ot new
admirers.

A veritable musical festival set
against the most "exciting back
ground of American history,
briefly describes Republic's "Ride,
Ranger,- Ride," which opens today
in a double, feature bill at the Cap
itol theatre with Gene Antry star
ring in his most gallant role in
pictures. - ' - - -
The story revives the historical
era when Texsa Rangers and blue
coated U.S. cavalrymen were en
deavoring to pacify Indian savag
es who for years halted the west
ward trek of U.S. Pioneers.
His role as officer of the Rang
ers and lieutenant of the U. S.
Cavalry provides Gene Autry with
opportunities for riding, fighting,
singing and love-making galore.
Of. especial interest 'is "The
Song of the Pioneers," written
especially for Antry by-Stept and
Mitchell, authors ot "All My Life"
"Laughing Irish Eyes," and many
other , song hits during the past
year. .
Features Wirr photo -The
first use of the .new Wire-
photo system as an important part
of a motion picture plot will be
seen today when "Murder with
Pictures," a mystery drama star
ting Lew Ayres and Gall Patrick
comes to the. Capitol theatre.
The now equipment,- which
makes it possible to , transmit
photographs by telegraph, plays
an important role in solving a
"perfect crime" in the picture and
demonstrates what may be ex
pected soon in the endless war on
crime as the use of the equipment
becomes m ore widespread.
Through arrangements with Wire-
photo executives, the laboratory
and equipment in the Los Angles
"Times" were used by Paramount
to film some of the Important
scenes in the picture.
The idea for the novel use of
Wirephoto is credited to John R.
Moffit, former motion picture ed
itor of the Kansas City "Star"
who, with Sidney Salkow, wrote
the screen play tor ."Murder with

"King Steps Oiit'
Is at Hollywood
Grace Moore Sings Again
Of Love; Tone Plays
: Riotous Emperor
. To the hauntingly beautiful
melodies of Fritz Kreisler music,
some new, some mellowed by the
passing years, jQrace Moore sings
again ot love.. Now showing at
the Hollywood theatre, the screen
is filled with the beauty of her
new Columbia picture, "The King
Steps Out,- a proud successor to
the "One TJight of Love" and
"Love Me Forever" w"hlch so en
deared her to the hearts of the
world. "
This time there Is no backstage
story, no climb to the Metropoli
tan, bnt a charming tale of a roy
al romance in Imperial Austria. It
is fitting that Miss Moore's third
film should dash so wildly in the
opposite direction of the other
two. The result Is a lyric love
story of rare loveliness.
When a love story is involved,
there must be a lover, and In that
enviable role one finds Franchot
Tone, as a reckless, merry mon
ach. Emperor Francis Josef. Keep
ing pace with so talented and
glamorous a star as Grace Moore
is no mean job, but Tone does
exceedingly well.
A grand performance is also
contributed by the faultless Walt
er Connolly, as Duke Max of Ba
varia. Excellent too are Raymond
Walburn, Victory Jory. Elizabeth
Risdon,-Nana Bryant and Frieda
Inescourt In Important roles.
But , of course It Is "a Grace
Moore picture"; this young lady
gets more beautiful as months go
on, and her, voice, has never been
more glorious.
