In Gypsy Picture

How would you like n walk arm
IN arm with a $50 pound bear?
That's what you will see Dolores
Del Rio doing in Revenge" which
comes to the Rivoli thester Sunday
and Monday.
In this latest Edwin Carewe pro-
d~uotion which stars the Mexican ac-
tress, she is seen with as many as
fifty bears at n time. The story
c~enters about the tanning Of wild
bears by the gypsies and Dolores is
the chief bear tanner or the tribe.
The average person would think
twice before letting a bear kiss his
or her lips. However, that Is moth
ing for Dolores. One scene shows
the fiery little star with two bears
eating raisins stuck between her toes.
And that isn't all-reserve Sunday
or Monday for the Rivoli theater and
see the restl
She tames wild bears ms though
they we're kittens.
She tried TO tame 4 man the same
way-and failed.
You will see how IL all happened
when you visit the Rivoli theater at
San Benito and watch Dolores Del
Rio do her stuff in Revenge" her
latest United Artists feature pre-
sented by Edwin Carewe.
