CAPITOL AND EMPIRE
“RAMONA’ "Ramona,” the beautiful séreen classic, will be shown at the Capitol and Empire Theatres this evening, with Dolores Del Rio in the leading role. There is such wonderful acting, sympathetic and understanding direction. such a wealth or natural beauty and such a tender, ironic, passionate theme. that the film “Ramona." comes as near to real perfection as any human art’ can accomplish. Primarily it is a love story, but it is also a. tremendous plea. for the vanish-' ing race of Redmen, which the white nien persecuted shamelessly a. generation or two ago. It is a stormy, splendidly living- tale of a, woman of Spanish—lndian blood.~ Indian and Spanish, the exotic Ramona. loved by and loving an Indian and a Spaniard, found her—self a. gibe for destiny, a. puppet in the great game of greed and colonisation and the lure of gold. “The Shield of Honour," a story of the American police force, will also be shown. Ralph Lewis and Neil Hamil—ton are the stars.
