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 rister-in-law. and Leslie Fenton is another Britisher 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. HI VOLT.

San Be nito. for a three day run beginning today for Louis John Bartels is in the cast of the now 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 originally the under study in the part but the Illness of the star in the niece gave him the chance which he proved naturally 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 rramful with amusing situations and laughs. AT THE CAPITOL Mary 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 with Richard Arlen. She sings ac companied by a small portable phonograph. The song is “Celia.” written especially for her and al ready popular as a radio number. Miss Brian sings the song during an unusual love scene with Arlen. The action depicts their honevmoon trip from California to New York in a “palace” stock car of the type used to transport racing stock and polo ponies. Richard Whiting and Leo Robin, well known composers, wrote the song and music and the record was mode bv Paramount’s sym phonic recording orchestra. “The Man I Love.” which will feature the Capitol theater program Sally's Sallies Son* chapetom have been known to penr.it kusutg tight untiei then noset. jNl for four days, starting tomorrow was written by Herman J. Mankie wiscz, a former newspaperman, who took most of the dramatic and ro mantic incidents from thrilling front page news stories. Many of the incidents are easily recognized although they have been woven into an exciting and coherent story. William A. W'climan, the man who directed Arlen in ‘•Wings,” “Beggars of Life” and “Ladies of the Mob." made the picture at the Paramount studios in Holywood. An excellent cast, including Baclanova, Jacs Oakie and Harry Green, noted vaudeville comedian, support the featured players. An excellent pro gram of music and song enhances the exciting dialog and action. “Alibi.” Roland West s all-talking crook picture, closes its engagement at the Capitol Tuesday evening. AT TEXAS Jack London would have delighted ; in “Waterfall.” the First National picture, co-featuring Dorothy Mac ka;ll and Jack Mulhall, which is now showing at the Texas theater. The picture was filmed on the San Francisco waterfront, always a port of romance, and the home of characters in which the late novel ist reveled. While comedy plays a large part in the picture, there arc more than the ordinary number of thrills and romance. FOUR MAKING TRIP OVER C. A. T. LINE A party composed of W. M. Woods and L. D.
