PLAZA

‘REDSKIN” “Redskin,” Paramount’s all-coloured picture starring Richard Dix, and now in Its second week at the Plaza Theatre, is synchronised perfectly with a brilliant music score, clever sound effects and the singing of the theme number, “Redskin.” The score is played by a concert orchestra of SO pieces and greatly enhances the vividness of the picture. “Redskin” is a story of life among tlio Red Indians of Arizona. Dix plays the role of Wingfoot, son of a Navajo Indian chief, who is ostracised by his people for refusing to accept their ancient superstitious beliefs. He falls in love with Cornblossom, a beautiful Indian maiden played by Gladys Belmont. How their romance moves .beautifully through the story is told with intenseness. Thousands of Red Indians take part in the picture, and all of the natural beauty of the Grand Canyon country is brought out in vivid colours in “RedThe talking programme at the Plaza includes a number of most enjoyable short talkie features headed by a highly amusing comedy, “The Bookworm,” by Harry T. Conley. A tuneful seena is “Visions of Spain,” in which Sam Ash sings and Lina Basquette dance si Ohman and Arden are two young men who play the piano very well. Bob MacGregor is a Scottish singer and raconteur, and the overture, “Raymond,” is played by the Vitaphono Symphony Orchestra.
