“THE WATER HOU”
Scenes for the Paramount production of Zane Grey’s story, “The Water Hole,” which shows at the Opera House this evening, were actually filmed in Arizona, the locale of the
story, Jack Holt plays the leading role in this drama of society life in the cities and primitive life in the desert. The story “The Water Hole” first appeared in Colliers’ weekly, where it had a wide reading and Zane Grey expanded it into a novel. The tale is unusual for Zane Grey because its Western scenes are ony incidental to the main theme of the story. Paramount has made this story into one of the big specials of the year, measuring it with the former successful Zane Grey production “Wanderer of the Wasteland.” Tho filming was done partly in technicolour and beautiful vistas of the gorgeous Arizona, desert region are included in the film.
