MARLBOROUGH of the Guard"
4 FTER wait of five years, Universal
"A Pictures Co. announces another mas
sive screen spectacle in the class OF
The Hunchback of Notre Dame" this
time the talking and singing version OF
THE Captain of the Guard" now show
ing at the Rialto Theater, with John
Boles, the star, appearing there today
in person at three shows.
Carl TaAmrala Yreaidont NJ TTniyergQl
1t is said, has had in mind the making
Of this picture for long time, his sue
cess with The Hunchback" no doubt
being the reason. However, THE Cap
tain of the Guard" is clasSed with the
other Universal masterpieces only in
one way, and that is its massive gran
deur and its tremendous mob scenes.
Otherwise the picture is quite different.
In place of the hideousneSs of Lon
CLANCY is John Boles with his golden
voice. which he uses to good measure
throughout this entire production.
The direction Of some 5000 men in
The Captain of the Guard" seems i'm
pressive and extremely realistic.
Captain of the Guard" was made in
Universal City. Still one might not sus-
pect 1t, for the Paris street scenes are
declared historically perfect.
Captain of the Guard" has q de-
lightful love story in which the lead
ing roles are played by John Boles and
Laura La Plante. 1t runs against
background of war and tragedy. Boles
plays the part of Roget de Isle, who
wrote the French national anthem, and
in that character Is quite at home sing
ing many beautiful songs. Charles
Wakefield Cadman, this distinguished
composer, wrote the semi-classic musi-
cal background for this production.
