STRAND
“IN OLD ARIZONA” The programme of all-talking features which, is being presented at the Strand Theatre continues to attract crowded houses. The adventures of a daring bandit, the Cisco Kid, and his love for a beautiful half-caste girl, Tonia Maria, form the theme of “In Old Arizona,” the main attraction. It is based on the O. Henry story of the same name. A feature of the production is the remarkable photography, a large part of which shows outdoor scenes, and is accompanied by the natural sound effects. The leading roles are played by Warner Baxter and Dorothy Burgess, and the supporting cast includes many well-known artists. The story opens with the offer of a large reward for tbe capture of the Cisco Kid. and the departure of Sergeant Mickey Dunn, a dax'ing cavalryman. who has been commissioned to find the bandit. He persuades Tonia Maria to betray her lover, but the Cisco Kid learns of the betrayal and takes vengeance in his characteristic way. The short talkie features which constitute the remainder of the programme are items by Beatrice Lillie, the London musical comedy actress, a gazette with sound accompaniment and Honolulu songs by the Royal Hawaiian Singers.
