Rainbow Man At
Arcadia Is Real
Old-Time Minstrel

A regular old-time minstrel show,
as played by a travelling company
on the road some years ago, has a
prominent part in the Eddie Dow
ling starring production, THE
Rainbow Man. which comes to the
Arcadia theater, Harrington, for
four days, beginning today.
DOC Hardy's Ministries" and later
Ryan and Hardy'S MinstrelS" in
the story Of THE Rainbow Man"
presents the characters Rainbow
Ryan, played by Eddie Bowling, and
DOC" played by Eddie Bowling, and
Bowling is the star and Hardy is
the old-time manager and inter-
locutor of the troupe.
A picturesque setting is used for
the presentation of the minstrel
show as it plays a small southern
town in the story. Opening with &
parade, with the minstrel men il
their gray top hats and linen dust
ers, the minstrel show is put on
just as it would have been played
in the town opera house. In the
minstrel show sequences Of the
picture Eddie Bowling accompanied
by the stage full Of MINISTRIES, the
orchestra and the banging of tam
bourines, sings several Of the catchy
songs which are part Of the enter
tainment.
James Hanley, writer of many
successful song hits, wrote the mel
odies used in the minstrel sequences
and elsewhere in the pi, cure. Fred
Newmeyer directed the production
for Sono-Art and Louis F. Colt
schalk staged the musical ensem-
bles and arrangements. 1t is q
Paramount picture.

his enthusiasm.
The other day. under a warm
summer sun, after a day of heart
breakingly slow progress on fiesta
scenes of his new picture, he stood
on a platform straining his lungs in
a long speech If directions to the
gaily coStumed mob.
He scorned a megaphone. Leaping
down, he was here, .-lero, every
where about the massive set. When
all was ready, heSollowed the cam
eras in their 'perambulator" shots
of the festive scel"s-eager, tense,
excited, triumphant, as the action
pleased his fancy. He throws his
body as well as hi mind into the

Salvation Army To
Clean Up French
Prison Settlement
BY SMITH REAVIS
ASSOCIATED Press Staff Writer)

PARIS, July 2o-P)-Commis-
sioner Adm Peyron, head Of the
Salvation Army in France, has set
himself in the task Of wiping out
the blacklist spot on the CONT
nent Of America"
BY that he refers to the penal
station Of French Guiana, a convict
colony bounded by Brazil, the At
lantic and Dutch Guiana.
In the tropical, unhealthy penal
stations Of Cayenne and st. Laurent
du Maroni 2.4OO French convicts
are serving life Imprisonment or
terms which amount to almost the
same thing.
The first endeavor Of the Saliva
ton Army, according to eyron, will
be to bring hope into life Of the
convict.
He also hopes to abolish the COM
mon huts where prisoners now are
herded. Skilled Workmen, if the
government grants his request, will
be given a chance to work together
in a workshop, and their products
will be marketed for them. Next
to the workshops he hopes to have
recreation rooms and by this sem
blance Of home to kindle better
sentiments among the men.
He says that just sufficient food
is served to keep the men strong
enough to work under the tropical
sun. When the days work is over
the men are lodged in groups Of 40
in common hutS, and there the
newly arrived criminal is quickly
brought down to the lowest level Of
corruption.
Often, he reports, when the
guards open the huts in the morn
ing they find one of the mates
killed, When, as is rare, the slayer
can be determined, he is guillotined
by another convict and his body
flung to the sharks.
