Coming Attractions.
BeIusco-"Ramona.v ~

What is described as 'the farthest
north in motion pictures will make its
initial local appearance when w. II.
Clune, the Pacific Coast fflm magnate,
and his associate, Lloyd Brown, present
the cinema spectacle Ramona" at Be
lasco Theater, for a two weeks run, start
ing Monday. September l.
Ramona" is a perturbation Of Helen
Hunt Jackson's famous love story OF the
same name. 1t was eight months in
the making on the identical scenes re-
lated in Mrs. Jackson's classic romance
of Southern California during the Mexi-
can era. The INSTALLATION of the novel,
which was made under the very compel
ent direction of Donald Crisp. who first
came to fame through staging some of
the greatest scenes of THE Birth of a
Nation" will be presented with scenic,
electrical and musical embellishments of
a most elaborate character.
Ramona" will be found quite unique
In several respects. 1t is the first in
stance OF a product from a large studio
devoted entirely to one subject "Ra-
mona" was produced like any big stage
spectacle, turned out by a concentration
of energies. In addition to being the
largest film yet made, 1t is the first in
stance Of an entire picture play being
made without scenario, as Ramona"
was taken directly from the book. A
scenario was prepared, but with the
usual license which the scenario writer
feels to be his prerogative. many liber-
ties were taken with Mrs. Jackson's
book This proved SO contrary to the
purposes OF the promoters that the seen
ario was discarded and the book was fol-
lowed.
Ramona" has the distinction OF being
the first photoplay Of the largest caliber
which does not feature an individual. The
piece depends entirely for its success
upon its ability to entertain as a story,
and not upon the personality Of any of
its figures.
