PiCture ReviCws eu-u· -~- -----------~----!--~ Raman N ovarro in "Annie Laurie," Hiahiand Fling at Community House "Ben Hur" Coming One of the most appropriate and to T eatro Monday attractive programs ever arranged at "Ben Hur," that immortal tale of the Christ which over night established itself as one of the few books · that will live throughout tl:te centuries and for its writer, General Lew Wallace, a place of prominence among the great authors in the world's history, is to be presented in its screen version at Teatro del Lago on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of next week. There are few people who have not at some time read this dynamic story. Many have ·read it time and time again. But both those· who have and have not read the book will find themselves gripped by the stupendous power of this film. It is intense in its emotional depth; moving an audience to tears or joy or to that powerful combination of joy and sorrow that tears at the heart-strings, as the dramatic story of the Christ and of Judah Ben Hur is unfolded. "Ben Hu.r " has been shown upon two continents and everywhere has been presented before packed houses. Critics have heralded it as one of the most powerful and beautiful productions, from all standpoints, ever released. Moreover, it is not only the largest production but the most costly one ever presented---.including "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse," "The Miracle," any circus enterprise, or any opera. Its cost was over $4,000,000. Ramon Novarro takes the title role and May McAvoy the role of Esther. Francis X. Bushman plays the part of }lessala. "Almost Human," a DeMille production starring Vera Reynolds, will be presented. this Saturday. Directed by Frank Urson, and written for the screen by Clara Beranger from a situation suggested by Richard Harding Davis' novel, "The Bar Sinister," this is said to be ~ genuine screen novelty. · "Underworld" has besn chosen for Sunday. With the notoriety that the picture has obtained through the writers in metropolitan journals in mind, it would almost be possible to drop a treatise of it with just that statement. It should be sufficient at any rate to say that it is said to ·be a genuine treatise of the crime situation and organization and was written by Ben Hecht. "Loves of Carmen" is the picture billed for Thursday. Dolores del Rio plays the title role in this film and is, one might say, typically herself. Victor McLaglen plays the part of the matador while Don Alvarada plays the part of Jose, the soldier lover whom Carmen uses as her tool and ruins. "French Dressing" is said to be a vivacious comedy in which Lois Wilson, Clive Brook and H. B. Warner are featured. It will be shown Friday.
