CAPITOL
“THE BLUE DANUBE” The story of an elder brother who was sent to break off an “affair” between a young lieutenant and a cabaret girl and who fell in love with the girl himself is delightfully told in “The Blue Danube,” a new Cinema Art picture now being shown at the Capitol Theatre. Lya Mara plays the role of the fascinating cabaret star, while Ernest Veredes gets considerable fun from the part of the young Viennese officer. One of the fiercest battles ever enacted before the camera was staged in “The Claw,” the Universal-Jewel which is also being screened. Claire Windsor and Norman Kerry are the stars. Battle scenes and fight scenes are always left until the last in making a moving picture because fights are noted for their wear and tear on clothing and likelihood of injury to the participants. More than 100 negroes, dressed in the costume of East African natives, took part in the battle, as did Norman Kerry and a score of whites. The skirmish was directed by Sidney Olcott and continued for the better part of four hours.
