AT THE QUEEN
Disappearing cabinets, crystal
balls and all the intriguing para
phernalia of the fortune-telling
seer are familiar to millions, and
yet each individual mystic and his
yet ever;' individual “prop" has a
unique fascinating appeal.
The personality of the mystic is
in itself intriguing, wrapped as he
invariably is in the seeming in
scruptability of his profession. And
about such a personality revolves
the compeTling mystery of “The
Charlatan,” the Universal feature
production which will be seen ai
the Queen theater today and to
morrow.
Besides the thrilling realm of the
fakir, the picture, which was made
from the New York stage success
of the same name, flashes into the
circle of high society and in and
out of the lives of the beautiful
women who come to the soothsayer
for information and guidance con
cerning forbidden romances by
which they are held captive.
AT THE CAPITOL
When Anita Page, featured in
“The Broadway Melody,” Metro
Goldwyn-Mayer’s brilliant all-talk
ing. all-singing, all-dancing pro
duction, which opened at the Cap
itoi Theater Sunday, passed her
voice test with flying colors, in
stead of resting on her oars, she
went ahead with plans to iron out
any small flaws which might exist.
“The voice test was nearly as
much of a thrill as my first day
in pictures,” asserted Miss Page. “I
was so excited I scarcely remem
bered what I did first. I remem
ber mother and I went down to the
university where I enrolled in a
class for voice culture.
“Every night I would go to school
for two hours, studying enuncia
tion, voice modulation and so on.
They have a special apparatus
called the “voice dissector’ at the
University of Southern California*
which enables one to immediately
pick out any fauls in the voice. At
home I practiced daily my dialogue
script.”
Bessie Love and Charles King
are featured with Miss Page in this
production which Harry Beaumont
directed.
ARCADIA, HARLINGEN
What are said to be the most
convincingly real Parisian scenes
ever produced in an American mo
tion picture studio are shown in
Dolores Costello's latest Warner
Bros, special production, “The Re
deeming Sin.”
Though settings and atmosphere
reproduce so exactly the under
world of the French capital, all the
scenes were mads at the Warner
Bros, studio in Holfywood. The
story is laid in the apache dis
trict, and embraces a multitude or
film types which are essentially
Parisian.
Miss Costello plays the role of a
fiery apache dancing girl singer in
an underworld cafe—and in this
colorful part she gives the most
alluring portrayal of her entire
career.
Conrad Nagel is seen as her
lover, and thus the popular team
is perpetrated for the enjoyment
of the theatergoers everywhere.
Other well-known players in the
supporting cast are Georgie Stone,
Lionel Belmore. Philippe de Lacy,
Nina Quartero and Warner Rich
mond. “The Redeeming Sin” was
directed by Howard Bretherton,
and the scenario, based on an orig
inal story by L. V. Jefferson, was
written by Harvey Gates.
The superb acting of star and
cast magnificently heightens the
already tense dramatic power of the
story and no presentation of the
Parisian underworld surpasses it.
Dolores Costello in “The Re
deeming Sin” is to be seen at the
Arcadia theater, Harlingen, today.

MEXICO OIL FIELDS
ARE SHOWN IN FILM
WASHINGTON, April 8.—(/P)—An
educational motion picture called
‘Through the Oil Fields of Mexico”
has been prepared by the depart
ment of commerce in cooperation
with the United States bureau of
mines and a large oil company.
One scene in southern Mexica ’
shows a new gusher exploding with
such force that two tons of drilling
tools were hurled into the air and
the top of the derick destroyed.
There are also views of the famous
‘hill of tar” where oil seeping up
through the ground gave the first
hint of Mexico’s petroleum posai-,
bilities.
