CAPITOL AND EMPIRE
“RAMONA” No lover of beautiful acting and of romance can afford to miss “Ramonq,” which is now showing at the Capitol and Empire Theatres. In it Dolores Del Rio, the lovely Mexican, plays an Indian wife of the old Spanish days in California, when justice was sometimes very cruelly on the side of the strong, and race hatred was allowed to rage almost unchecked. The film begins with some exquisite pastoral scenes in which Ramona, who did. not know then that she was the daughter of a squaw, is loved by Felipe, a noble young Spaniard. She herself has given her heart—she does not know why—to Alessandro, the lithe young Indian chief who is in charge of the native sheep-shearers. At the Caiptol Theatre a line circus story, “Three Ring Marriage,” starring Mary As tor and Lloyd Hughes, is tlT§ second attraction. At the Empire Theatre, “Shield of Honour,” with Neil Hamilton in tb»' role of an adventurous American policeman, is the second feature.
