ROD LA ROCQUE PLAYS LEAD IN GLAMOROUS FILM OF OLD WEST.
Rich in the pictorial beauty of the open range, and built around a powerful story of the old west, “Beau Bandit,” Radio Pictures’ outdoor all-talk-ing triumph, opens at the Opera House to-day, following enthusiastic receptions on its showing in other centres. The scenes in “Beau Bandit” are not confined to the narrow limits of a sound studio stage. Instead, the picture was filmed outdoors in almost its entirety, giving it a sweep and a movement possible only with the use of nature’s own scenic sets. Rod La Rocque, east as a suave, gentlemanly “bad man,” plays the lead in “Beau Bandit,” a glamorous story of the open plains. Ideally suited to the part, La Rocque is said to give one of the most remarkable performances of his long screen career in this all-talking production.
