GRAND, SATURDAY
'Lasca of the Rio Grande" opens on Saturday at the Grand Theatre. Under the direetion 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 landseaping, in valleys rich in foliage and on the tops of high mountain ridges overlooking 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 Direetor 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 Mack Brown is featured as a Texas ranger and Dorothy Burgess plays fthe title role to the hilt. Slim Summerville and Frank Campeau, as two uncouth prospectors, provide the humorous side of the swift moving story.
