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 Maclc 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 thrilling 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. throughout the world, many of whom will meet again at the Congress. Rev. Eris O'Brien, of Sydney, will read a paper on the Eucharist in early Australian history, and Rev. Moynihan, of Melbourne, a paper on the Mass and Viaticum in the Australian hush. The only woman speaker at the Congress will he an Australian, Sister Anselm, on the Eucharist and coming generations. SATURDAY, JUNE 25.
