GRAND TO-NIGHT
DOUBLE FEATURE PROGRAMME "Lasca of the Rio Grande," opens to-night at the Grand Theatre. Under the direction of Edward Laemmle, "Lasca" players in colourful Mexican costumes and Western frontier oufits were photgrapehed against backgrounds of Spanish haciendas with graceful arches and exquisite landscaping, 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 Director Laemmle has framed his fast action in beautiful and distinctive settings. Leo Carrillo appears as Santa Cruz, a border handit and bold rornancer, in "Lasca of the Rio Grande." John Mack Brown is featured as a Texan danger and Dorothy Burgess plays the title role to the hilt. Slim Summerville and Franlc Campeau, as two uncouth prospeetors, provide the humourous side of the swift moving story. The second feature is a London murder Mystery "Two Crowded Hours."
