SIDELIGHTS
ARCADIA, HARLINGEN
The strange, impenetrable mys
tery that envelops the jungle region
of Central East Africa is brought to
the eyes and ears of the audience at
the Arcadia theater with the show
ing of "A Dangerous Woman," a pic
ture of the high standard which
Paramount has established in the
audible field.
Through the focus of this realistic
jungle panorama the audience be
holds a rugged plot, incomparable
acting and free-flowing comedy.
The locale of the picture is a
British outpost set in the jungle
country near a Negro tribal village. |
Clive Brook plays the representative
of his fatherland and Baclanova is
his Russian wife. Neil Hamilton is
cast in the role of Brook's brother
who is ensnared by the romantic
wiles of his comely sister-in-law. and
Leslie Fenton is another Britisher j
who succumbs to the witchery of
this man-hunting woman who has
seemingly "gone native" under the
influence of Africa's mystic jungle
enchantment.
The sparkling comedy parts are
provided by Snitz Edwards as a na
tive Negro chieftain and Clyde Cook
as the faithful Cockney servant to
Brook. These men are old-time fa
vorites in humorous pretending.
"A Dangerous Woman" has an
humorous emotionally tumultuous
climax which comes crashing
through to the eyes and ears of the
audience like a bull elephant through
the "bush.”
The play Is based on the story by
Margery- H Lawrence which ap
peared in Cosmopolitan Magazine.
Rowland V. Lee directed the picture.
RTYOLI. SAN BENITO
That famous laugh which echoed
thrcuch the theaters wherever "The
Show-Off" was shewing will be
heard again through a new medium
when "Nothing But the Truth"
comes to the Rivoll theater. San Bc
nitA. for a three dav run beginning
today for Louis John Bartels is in
the cast of the new Richard Dix
starring vehicle.
"The Show-Off." which brought
Bartels to stardom on the stage, was
one of the mast amazing of recent
successes It ran 75 weeks in New
York and 34 weeks on tour. Bartels
also played it with stock companies
in San Francisco. Hollywood and
Cleveland. He appeared in about
1200 performances of the produc
tion. He was originallv the under
study in the part but the illness of
the star in the piece gave him the
chance which he proved naturaMy
belonged to him. Bartels' compell
ing laugh will ring again in "Noth
ing But the Truth" in which he has
one of the major supporting roles.
The Dix production was directed by
Victor Schertzinger and it is packed
cramful with amusing situations
and laughs.
AT THE CAPITOL
Man- Brian, "the darling of the
screen." sings her first song on the
screen in her latest picture, the
all-talking love drama. "The Man I
Love." in which she is co-featured

phonograph. The song is "Celia."
written especially for her and al
lendv popular as a radio number.
Miss Brian sings the song during
an unusual love scene with Arlcn.
The action depicts their honevmoon

took most of the dramatic and ro
mantic incidents from thrilling
front page news stories. Many of I
the incidents are easily recognized
although they have been woven into
an exciting and coherent story.
William A Wellman, the man who
directed Arlen in “Wings.” "Beggars

made the picture at the Paramount
studios in Holywood. An excellent
cast, including Baclanova. Jacx

the exciting dialog and action.

large part in the picture, there are
more than the ordinary number of !
thrills and romance.

Anne Dislikes Publicity
Mrs. Mcllvaine said she was in
formed by telephone the wedding
was advanced at the request of
Miss Morrow because she was
annoyed by the publicity and the
insistence of reporters and curiosity
seekers for information.
The bride wore a simple white
chiffon dress, made by Miss Mary
Smith, an Englewood dress maker.
She cairied a bouquet of blue lark
spur. Col. Lindbergh wore a blue
business suit.
Possibility that the couple were
planning a flying honeymoon was
reen in orders received at Roosevelt
Field from Col. Lindbergh that his
blue Falcon plane be ready for
flight.
Registrar Keeps Secret
After the wedding it was learned
the marriage license was obtained
by Col. Lindbergh five days ago.
John A. Manson, registrar of the
Englewood board of health, who is
sued the license, was pledged to
secrecy.
Official announcement of the
wedding was made by A. H. Spring
er. Ambassador Morrow’s secretary.
It read.
•’Mr. and Mrs. Dwight W. Mor
row announce the marriage of their
daughter. Anne. to Charles A.
Lindbergh at Englewood. N. J., May
27. 1929 "
Col. Lindbergh is 27 years old.
and his bride is 22. Their romance
began when Lindbergh was receiv
ed at the American embassy In
Mexico City on his goodwill tour
December 14. 1927. At that time
Miss Morrow was a senior at Smith !
College.
LINDY AND ANNE
EVADE REPORTERS
NEW YORK. May 28—'/P—The
honeymoon destination of Col.
Charles A. Lindbergh and his bride,
the former Anne Morrow, like so
many of the Lone Eagle's flights,
was enveloped in secrecy today.
After the couple left the Morrow
home at Englewood. N. J.. yesterday
following their marriage they drop- j
ped completely from sight. News
paDer vigils at flying fields, steam
ship piers, railroad terminals, and j
even highways leading out of New
York, yielded no trace of the newly- j
veds.
There were scores of rumors, but '
lone of them was confirmed. One j
•epert was that an amDhibian plane
lad landed last night in Hempstead
larbor outside the Long Island es
tate of Harry Guggenheim. Inti- i
nate friend of the flier, and that
he honeymooners had sailed on S 1
ft. Guegenheim’s yacht Trillora. The
-aoht was in the harbor last night,
jut was gone this morning.
The prenaration for flight of Col.
Lindbergh’s speedv biplane at 1
Roosevelt field was believed to have
been a blind to throw newspaper ;
men off the scent. In this connee- 1
tion it was also pointed out that an ‘
ar rail honeymoon by the couple
would be anything but private, with
perhaps every airport in the country
besieged by reporters and photogra- ,
phers.
