CRYSTAL PALACE, MT. EDEN
“SHOW BOAT" “Show Boat,” the big attraction now at the Crystal Palace Theatre, Mount Eden, is really a wonderful combination of stage and screen. By special arrangement with Florenz Ziegfeld. who produced ‘‘Show Boat” as a. musical extravaganza in New York, Universal includes in the talking picture version of the story many of the best scenes and much of the popular music which made the stage version such an outstanding success. The story concerns the romance and adventures of a young woman. Magnolia, brought up on a Mississippi show boat, under the instruction of her father and his puritanical and shrewish wife, two roles played admirably by Otis Harlan and Emily Fitzroy. The role of the girl is played with great success by Laura La Plante. The screen production is rich in music, from the strident steam calliope tunes of long ago down to the negro spirituals so popular today.
