STRAND
SECOND WEEK OF “RIO RITA” “Rio Rita” continues to be shown at the Strand Theatre, and crowded houses are the order day and night. The spectacular nature of the production has been enhanced by the picture having been filmed in colour, and the brilliant costumes, the picturesque backgrounds and the lavish settings provide a riot of colour. Bebe Daniels, who by. her personality and accomplished acting lias endeared herself to Auckland audiences, has the principal feminine role. Her portrayal of the fascinating Mexican girl “Rio Rita” eclipses, however, all her previous characterisations. The singing of Miss Daniels is a feature of the picture. The thrilling action of the story takes place in the mountains of Mexico, where the captain of the Texas Rangers is seeking a notorious bandit, Kinkajou. How the identity of the mysterious bandit is revealed and*-the complications that ensue before the film is brought to a happy conclusion make an absorbing story. There will also be a splendid supporting programme.
Haney Carroll sings two enchanting songs in “Dangerous Paradise,” “Dangerous Paradise” was adapted from the novel “Victors',” by Joseph Conrad. Richard Arlen plays opposite the star.
