“RAMONA” NOW AT GRAND
“Ramona,” which is now being screened at the Grand Theatre, is one of those occasional products of the motion picture world that causes one to feel they have an art as well as a mission.
There is such wonderful acting, sympathetic and understanding direction, such a wealth of natural beauty and such a tender, ironic, passionate theme, that the film “Ramona” comes as near to real perfection as any human art can accomplish. Primarily it is a love story, but it is also a tremendous plea for the vanishing race of Redmen, which the white men persecuted shamelessly a generation or two ago. It is a stormy splendidly living tale of a woman of Span-ish-Indian blood. Indian and Spanish, the exotic Ramona, loved by and loving an Indian and a Spaniard, found herself a gibe for destiny, a puppet in the great game of greed and colonisation, and the lure of gold.
