DOLORES DEL RIO IS
 AT COLISEUM, SUNDAY

Scores of Cossacks who came to this country some months ago to give spectacular riding exhibitions, have found work, eventually, in the pictures.
 In ''The Red Dance" Raoul Walsh's super production for Fox Films, more than SO were used in many sequences, especially in a Cossack charge, where their spec tacular riding is a high light of the picture.
 According to Walsh their pres ence solved most difficult prob lem, that is of authentic costumes.
 Every one of the Cossacks had his own uniform and a Russian saddle, something it would have been impossible to get anywhere in the United States.
 "The Red Dance" brings to the screen Dolores Del Rio in her most colorful role, that of "Tasia," a Russian peasant girl who later be- comes the Red Dancer and revolu- tionist leader. Charles Farrell plays opposite Miss Del Rio and there is a brilliant supporting cast with close to 4,0O0 extras utilized.
 The picture played for months to capacity audiences, at the Globe Theatre in New York. Its local showing will be at the Coliseum Sunday and Monday.

Attractions At Theatres
DOUBLE FEATURE BILL
 GOOD ONE AT PALACE

Based on modern sociological con- ditions, "The Road to Ruin" which began an engagement on the screen at the Palace theatre last night, proves not only a warning to the younger generation, but is in the form of a preachment to parents.
 The picture is very frank in its treatment of it's subject. This is necessary to be effective and at the same time it is not overdrawn. The characters on the screen enact a story the parallel of which IS published in the newspapers almost every day.
 It has the faculty of opening the eyes of parents to modern condi- tions and the experience of the family, around which the tragic story evolves, should go far to cre- ate a better understanding between mother and daughter on matters relative to sex.
 "The Kings of the Ring" is fast moving fight film full of thrills and action. It shows one of the toughest and fastest fights the ring has ever known, Dempsey and Firpo. Another fighter seen here for the first time is Uzcudun, the Spanish wood chopper. He is seen in two battles. First with Bren- nen and again with Wills. This program will be repeated again to- night.
