DOLORES DEL RIO AT CAPITOL I
Dolores Del Rio and Edmund Lowe, players in "The Bad One,"
showing at the Capitol Friday and Saturday.
.! MOVIE SIDELIGHTS |
CAPITOL
Perhaps no other film document
of recent years is so abundantly
supplied with sheer entertainment
value as “The Bad One," the United
Artists all-talking and singing com
! edy drama of the French water
! front cafes starring Dolores Del Rio
with Edmund Lowe at the Capitol
Theatre Friday and Saturday.
Starting with the noisy Marseilles
cafe scene, with a mechanical
piano raising its cracked voice
above the shout of men for wine,
and more wine., .dancing and sing
ing women and the busy activity of
commission girls doling out drinks
to sailors on carnival, the picture
affords the star her greatest oppor
tunity to date.
With Edmund Lowe appearing
with her for the first time since
the pair made their memorable ap
pearance in "What Price Glory',”
Miss Del Rio as "Lita" in "The Bad
One" is strongly reminiscent of
"Charmaine" in the war story.
Her character is that of a girl
thrust by circumstance into a typ
ical seaport cafe, whose living de
pends on the exploitation of her
charms, the timely winking of her
eyes and her industry in refilling
empty glasses.
In this role the star Is obliged to
exercise the full emotional range;
from coquetry to comedy and from
wistful moodiness to tragedy when
one of her innocent flirtation sets
in full motion the machinery of
love.
Though this is her first appear
ance on the talking screen, the
star, who portrays a Spanish enter
tainer set loose in cosmopolitan
Marseilles, invests her voice with
shadings and phrasing* that are
delightful in opposition to the mas
culine oruffness of the wise-crack
ing American sailor played by Lowe.
Because of its sheer humor and
aggressive drama. George Fitzmaur
ice. director, has to his credit a.
picture that deserves a high plate
in any list of film plays judged
primarily on their entertainment
value alone, "The Bad On©" is rol
licking fun, set in a melodramatic
bsi-kground that correctly mirrors
the Marseilles waterfront, with its
primal passions, its strifes and
gayetles.
Edmund Lowe is again the char
acter he was in "What Price Glory,”
"In Old Arizona," and "The Cock
eyed World," though his profanities
are lacking in favor of salty wise
cracks. As the American Don Juan
of the sear, whose boast is that he
lean get any girl In the world, he
pre.ents a typical Lowe whom any
girl would find it hard to resist.
QUEEN
Bringing to the talking screen the
best dressed woman on the Amer
ican stage as well as its foremost
comedienne, “The Awful Truth,"
Pathe s all-dialogue version of the
stage success, opens Sunday at the
Queen theatre. Iua Claire, the
star, scores a personal triumph.
Based upon a play in which Miss
Claire made one of her most popular
hits, the vehicle proves ideal for her
debut in talking pictures. As the
wife, madly in love with her hus
band, who divorces him because of
his jealousy—to say nothing of
hers—but who finds she can't get
along without him and decides to
go on fighting it out through life.
Miss Claire gives a performance
that Is tremendously effective. The
comedy is effective. The strength of
'The Awful Truth" lies in its
humanness and the finesse with
which it is presented by a capable
cast of players.
Henry Daniel, an English actor
who attracted much attention with
Ethel. Barrymore in the revival of
“The Second Mrs. Tanqueray." plavs
Miss Claire’s husband in “The Awful
Truth." He gives a capital perform
ance which greatly enhances the
work of the star. Paul Harvey, who !
played the pompous oil millionaire
in the stage version of the play !
essays the role again and scores a j
decided hit. others in the cast, all
of whom give excellent perform
ances. are Theodore Von Eltz. John
Roche. Blanche Frederici. Judith
V osselli, Jacqueline Dyris. Sidney
Bracey, James Neill and Colin
Chase.
One of the outstanding moments
of the picture is tho- bazaar se
quence in which Miss Claire sings
two songs. “Sex Appeal." a coticdy
number ar.d another more romantic
thing. Her voice and her gift of
! song delivery are superb and prove
that Miss Claire's early experience
m Ziegfeld Follies was not for no
thing.
Marshall Nellan. who directed
The Awful Truth,” has done one ot
the best pieces of work of his
; career. Smoothly presented and
enacted, it shows clearly the hand
of a master technician.
In eight Michigan towns, veter
ans of the Grand Army of the Re
publlc number onlv one.
The Greatest Romance of
the Screen
There’s zest to life when you can en
J joy entertainment such as is to be

orful champions of love. With Dolo
res Del Rio as a roguish coquette who

• Edmund Lowe as the prize lady-kill
er of the seas, who taught this madcap
heart breaker. that . even she had a

HARVEST PLAN 1
CHANGE ASKED
Suggestion Made Farmers
Do Own Gathering Of
Valley Crops
(Special to The Herald)
8AN BENITO. Sept. 19—A plan
whereby double the number of
mixed cars of vegetables may be
loaded, and much time and money
saved is broached by the Thomas
Morris Produce company, Inc., of
San Benito.
A copy of the company’s letters
to other shippers proposing that
farmers do their own harvesting as
is the case in Colorado, has been
received by the chamber of com
merce.
"Under the present plan in the
Valley it is customary to send a
field man to the fields to make pur
chases of vegetables", the letters
say. “Then the shipper sends his
harvesting crews to the fields to
pull and tie the vegetables and
haul them to the platforms to be
washed, bunched and packed. This
is an expensive plan and tends to
cause waste for the reason that no
matter how carefully we coach and
supervise our harvesting crews, they
are prone to pul! everything in the
rows with the result that when the
deliveries are made to the platforms
we must cull out a lot of vegetables.
"This is a distinct loss to grow
ers. but if only marketable vege
tables are pulled, the small and
immature vegetables remain in the
fields to mature. Thus it will be
seen that if the grower does his
own pulling and washing, he will

be very careful to harvest only that
part of the crop which is ready to
ship, allowing the remainder to
mature. Under the present plan the
shipper is forced to cull out all of
the small stuff and can naturally
use and pay for only that part of
the delivery which is of the proper
size.
Great benefit under our pro
posed plan, especially at the pres
ent time, is that the grower will be
paid for the harvesting, bunching,
ttelng and washing of the root
vegetables at the rate for which the
shipper must now pay to have the
same work done. Thus the grower
will have additional means of reve
nue whereby his family and his
regular farm labor may make a
daily wage and thereby save the
amount of the work that he does aa
well as his saving to his crop as
outlined:’
