“THE RED DANCE”
Playing together for the first time Dolores Del Rio and Charles Farrell give remarkable performances in the starring roles of- “The Red Dance." Separately and together these two young people hold picturegoers spellbound by their fine characterisations. She, as the peasant girl who becomes the famous “Red Dancer” of the Revolution; he, as the Grand Duke Eugene, whom she tries to save from the vengeance of the people. Another great performance is that of Ivan Linow. the giant Russian who. as a private soldier, woos Miss Del Rio but who, when he becomes a “Red” general, saves her lover from the firing squad. “The Red Dance” is splendid not only as an entertainment but as a vivid picture of revolutionary Russia, It abounds in thrills such as when the Cossacks are shown sweeping down on a defenceless village, the revolt of the prisoners in a salt mine and many similar episodes.
