"RAMONA" IN FILM FORM
OPENS BELASCO SEASON

The new theatrical year at the Belas-
CO Theater will be inaugurated Labor
Day, September T. with the first pro-
duction in Washington of the motion
picture-operatic spectacle, Ramona"
The production is really a motion pic
ture illustration of the famous book by
Helen Hunt Jackson. set to music
especially composed for it by Victor Her
bert.
The making of the pictures for
Ramona" under the direction of Donald
Crisp for the w. H Clune Company,
occupied the better part OF the last
year In Southern California. Many of the
scenes were photographed in the very
spots described in the romantic story
of the Indian maiden. The idea of the
producer has been to stick close to the
text of the story.
For the local engagement the Clune
Company will send to Washington their
entire organization of singers and their
orchestra and the performances will be
given here in the same elaborate way
as they have been given in New York.
The film is in four parts and requires
a little less than three hours in exhibI-
ton. Only two performances will be
given each day.
