GRAND, SATURDAY
'Lasca of the Rio Grande" opens on Saturday at the Grand Theatre. Under the direction of Edward Laemmle, "Lasca" players in colourful Mexican costumes and Western frontier outfits were photographed against backgrounds of Spanish haciendas with graceful arches and exquisite landscaping, in valleys rich ; in foliage and on the tops of high mountain ridges overloolcing the painted deserts. A gay fiesta, which is interrupted by the eager conflict between two . jealous men, has as its background a picturesque Spanish home and in each sequence Director Laemmle has framed his fast action in beautiful and distinctive settings. Leo Carrillo appears as Santa Cruz, a border bandit and bold romancer, in "Lasca of the Rio Grande," John Maek Brown is fea- . tured as a Texas ranger and Dorothy Burgess plays the title role to the 1 hilt. Slim Summerville and Frank Campeau, as two uncouth prospectors, provide the humorous side ,of the swift moving story.
