Beautiful scenes along the Sacra. mento river, which winds it's sinuous way from San Francisco Bay to the foot of Mount Shasta, will be seen in "The Girl in the Rain" Universal feature starring Anne Cornwall, which is to be seen at the Eagle Theatre Tuesday and Wednesday and at the Central Theatre Thursday
 The scenes of the play are laid in Virginia and along the Potomac river, and the location department at Uni versity City was able to select sites along the Sacramento which were al most duplicates of well known points along the eastern body of water
 A huge river boat, in regular ser vice between Sacramento and San Francisco, was chartered for ten days from the Southern Pacific Railroad company and transported to Northern California, near the headwaters of the picturesque river. Many of the scenes in the story occur on the decks of this boat and on the landings along the shore.
