COSY THEATRE. ROMANCE OF THE RIO GRANDE. That Fox Movietone spared nothing to give its new .western drama everything to make an epochal production, is revealed in. the extraordinary galaxy of players in ‘‘Romance of Rio Grande/' which. Warner Baxter, Mary Duncan and Antonio MorenO, three of the company's rankihg favourites, have the principal roles, and which is now showing nightly at the Cosy Theatre. “Romance of Rio Grande" is a story of the west in pioneer times revolving around the opposing, forces seeking to conquer the plains, and especially one particular vast estate below the Rio Grande border. It is an adaption of Katherine Gerould’s stirring novel of the Spanish conquistadors, titled ‘ ‘Conquistador," and in its conversion to the talking screen, Alfred -Santell, the Sncetor, has done a masterful job in retaining the poignant beauty of locale and pulsating romance which predominates the story. Antonio Moreno, a veteran among film leading men, diverts his type for the first time in his long and interesting career and plays a menace role. Like Baxter and Miss Duncan, Moreno is destined to reap benefits afforded stage trained players in speaking pictures. There is a good supporting sound programme which includes the arrival of Fiper and Kaye in Australia. Book immediately at Vare's.
