The “Desert Song,” opening Wednesday at the Rivoli Theater, San
Benito, is a Vitaphone reproduction of the popular musical play,
transferred in entirety to the screen.
RIVOLI—SAN BENITO
In no other picture has there
been so convining a demonstration
of the possibilities of the Vitaphone
as in “The Desert Song,” which
comes to the Rivoli Theater at San
Benito, Wednesday and which will
go down in screen history as the
first musical play to be transferred
in iV- entirety to the motion picture
screen.
Other “all-talking” pictures had
already been made by Warner
Brothers, and also many which in
cluded singing, but when they un
dertook the production of “The
Desert Song” they were confronted
with a new problem—the inclusion
of a large chorus for the ensemble
numbers, with its members grouped
all over the settings which consti
tuted the scenes of the play.
How well they met this situation
is indicated by the fact that the
chorus consists of one hundred men
and women, and that they bring to

Ralston, opening Thursday at
the Arcadia theater in Harlingen

the screen's first operetta the most
glorious ensemble work ever heard
in America.
Many of the singers were soloists
who had never before worked in
chorus, or who had graduated from
that estate into principal parts, and
so great was the number of these
that the ensemble of “The Desert
Song” might almost be described
as a chorus of principals. Sigmund
Romberg's lilting music is played
by the Vitaphone Symphony Or

The all-star cast Includes John

scale of success yesterday when he
appeared in the leading role as Cap
tain Yeullat, brave, romantic soldier
of the British army in India in the
Paramount feature picture, “The
Wheel of Life,” at the Arcadia the
ater in Harlingen Thursday where
he will be seen for the next three
days.
“The Wheel of Life” is great ma
terial for Mr. Dix because it brings
him forward in a role of the type
in which he seems to be .most at
home. He is the he-man without
losing the poise of the gentleman.
He is bold and fearless without los
ing the restraint of the chivalrous
lover.
He meets a girl (Esther Ralston)
in London while on furlough and
falls in love with her without dis
covering who she is. Later at the
military post in India he meets her
again—only to learn that she is the
unhappy wife of O. P. Heggie, his
commanding officer. Rather than
prosecute his love and thus bring
scandal on the regiment Dix de
cides to get a transfer. He is sta
tioned at a lonely outpost in the
1 Tibetan wilderness when he receives
an order to rescue a group of British
travelers who are besieged In a Bud
dhist lamasery in the mountains.
He goes to the rescue and finds that
one of the travelers is Esther. They
! pledge their love again as the guns
of the native besiegers are barking
death around them. Reinforcements
| arrive just in time, with Heggie lead
ing them. This situation seemingly
moans the end of romance for Dix
when—the most amazing climax of
many a long day brings the lovers
together.

Donna Nine Seeking
More Victims After
Defeat of McAllen
(Special to The Herald)
DONNA, July 17.—The local semi
pro baseball aggregation is seeking
more games after making their de
but with a hard-fought 6-5 victory
over the McAllen Legion nine. The
Donnaites have rounded up a strong
organization and would like to sign
games with any other Valley nines.
Their win over the fast Macks
was featured by the steady hurling
of Ward Rowland. The biggest kick
came in the ninth inning when
the Donna infield erred three con
secutive times to let in a run. With
the tying and winning runs on the
sacks, Rowland steadied and forced
the last batter to pop up to second
for the final out.
