THE TALKIES.
AURORA THEATRE. SHOW BOAT. Florenz Ziegfeld, th enoted stage producer, who made a musical extravaganza from Edna Ferber’s best-seller, “Show Boat,” and who co-operated with Carl Laemmle in combining the highlights of the stage production with the elaborate talking picture made from the same story by Universal, says that the Ferber novel was the best material for stage adaptation ever to reach his hands. “The only ambition I ever had to be a moving picture producer,” he states, “was aroused by this novel and by the stage production. I am partly achieving that ambition in Mr Laemmle’s moving picture version, which includes so many of the principals and songs and choruses from my own production.” “Show Boat,” with Laura La Plante, Joseph Schildkraut, Otis Harlan, and others featured, is now being shown at the Aurora Theatre.
