DE LUXE THEATRE.
"The Crusades" is to be shown finally tonight at the De Luxe Theatre. This tornate and dramatic film has all the famous de Mille wealth of detail and all the drama that the famous producer has been able to extract from an ingenious arrangement of a series of historic events relating to the Crusades. The film deals with the romance of Richard the Lion-Heart, his decision to lead an English army to Jerusalem, despite his lack of Christian faith, his feud with Philip of France, and romance with the beautiful Berengaria of Navarre. Richard is ably played by Henry Wilcoxon, the star of previous de Mille films. Loretta Young has the appealing role of his Queen, and the rest of the gigantic cast is headed by lan Keith as Saladin, C. Aubrey Smith as the hermit who rouses Europe for the Crusade, C. Henry Gordon as Philip of France. Katherine de Mille as his sister Alys. Alan Hale, William Farnum, and other famous actors. "Every Night at Eight,", a romantic comedy-drama set to music, is to be shown tomorrow.
