'EVANGELINE"
OPEN AT PALACE

Based on one of the most colorful
and tensely dramatic episodes of our
history, "Evangeline," with Dolores
Del Rio starring as the maid of
Acadia, comes to the Palace Theater
on Saturday. Perhaps one of the
most widely read tales ever pub
lished. "Evangeline" has been
adapted to the screen by FINS Fox
and produced and directed by Ed
win Carewe with a view of human
izing and vitalizing a story of fetch
ing interest.
Costing nearly a million dollars
for historical accuracy and pre-
tentiouS settings, "Evangeline"
comes to the screen as q dynamic
romantic-tragedy; a story which is
in fact an epic, and presents the
popular Miss Del Rio in a role that
demands more of her versatility
than even the memorable "Ra-
mona"
In building this pllotoplay. Mr..
Carewe has taken full advantage of
the many opportunities the story
offers for stirring, human drama
and tender, youthful romance and
against a background of sheer
beauty and primitive reality, the
film creator has directed the enact
ment of a courageous adventure
with but few parallels.
"Evangeline" was more than six

months in production. An entire
city had to be built for some brief
scenes. Two, three -masted English
frigates of the late eighteenth
century type had to be built for
the scenes marking the deportation
of the Acadians, single chapter OF
the film requiring nearly two
months to picturize. The rocky
shores of Acadia and the sub
tropical bayous of southern Louisi-
ana are shown.
More than 10000 people have
participated in the action of the
play, and Miss Del Rio has had in
her support such popular screen
players as Roland Drew, who sup
ported her in Ramona" enacting
the character of Gabriel, for whose
love Evangeline gave most of her
lifetime; Donald Reed, recently seen
with Billie Dove and Colleen Moore,
cast as Baptiste, rival of Gabriel for
Evangeline's hand and Alec B.
Francis, who plays Father Felician,
the guiding shepherd of the
Acadians in their distress.
Paul McAllister recently seen as
Noah, in "Noah's Ark" plays
Benedict Bellefontaine, Evangeline's
father. James Marcus, veteran
character actor, plays Basil, the
smithy, father of Gabriel.
George Marion is seen as Rene
La Blanc the notary and Bobby
Mack assumes the character of
Michael the fiddler. Lee Shumway
is Colonel Winslow and Lou Payne
is the autocratic Governors general,
whose forceful deportation of the
Acadians is presumption of
authority.
