“OLD SAN FRANCISCO” There was a time in the middle of last century when San Francisco’s waterfront was known as the “mile of hell,” and when San Francisco’s Chinese quarter had 70,000 inhabitants. All of these things are brought out with a fine sense of art and discretion in “Old San Francisco,” in which Warner Master Pictures are starring the beautiful and talented Dolores Costello. The picture begins with the founding of the city by Golden Gate and takes it down through the gold craze of ’49 to the days when the great fire caused the city to be swept away, only to rise again bigger and better and finer than ever- In it Miss Costello is shown as a young Spanish girl, a role to which she brings all her artistry and good looks to such advantage that the picture is one that reflects great credit. The supporting cast includes Warner Oland, So jin and Joseph Swickard. Jack Perrin in “The Man From Oklahoma.” a romantic Western drama, will also be shown.
