GRAND, SATURDAY.
"Lasca of the Rio Grande," Universal's straight-shooting, Spanish flavoured romance of the Mexican border, opens Saturday at the Grand, with Leo Carrillo, John Mack Brown, Dorothy Burgess and Slim Summerville in its principal roles. Based upon the Frank Desprez poem, 'Lasca," the story concerns a dark-eyed senorita of the dance-halls, a tenderly murderous half-breed cattle owner who likes his women beautiful, and a handsome Texas Ranger in love. The picture is packed to the brim with hard-riding, bellowing guns, lilting Spanish melodies, and romantic scenes, and is a photographic classic, according to reports. There is a thi'illing cattle stampede, a rousing gun-fight between the halfbreed's none-too-careful sharpshooters and the rangers, and some of the season's choicest comedy, furnished by Slim Summerville and Frank Campeau.
