WARNER BAXTER
 TR|UMPHS,, AGAIN IN ARIZONA KID
Outdoor Drama Portrays Great Action Amid
 Gorgeous Scenery

Warner Baxter has accomplished the seemingly impossible. He has equalled the marvellous perform ance he gave in "In Old Arizona with another fine impersonation of a gay and insouciant bandit Tn "The Arizona Kid" great out door romance in Movietone, which was shown at the Coliseum theatre last night and which will be shown again tonight.
 Here is the genuine spirit of the Old West, that elusive thing which so few Western productions man. age to transfer to the screen. Per- haps the fact that all it's scenes, including the interiors, were made right on actual scene of the story little village in southwestern Utah has something to do with the note of unquestioned realism that per vades The Arizona Kid" Any way, it is there, and together with the gorgeous scenic backgrounds and the remarkable work of the cast, makes the picture absorbingly interesting and delightfully."- enter ltaining.
 Badly Wanted Outlaw
 As a badly wanted outlaw. "The Arizona Kid" is being searched for by many, including the sheriff of Rockville, Utah, who does not sus- pect that Chico Cabrillo, we'll liked resident of the town is really F the Kid himself. Chico's favorite among the dance-hall girls is the fiery Lorita, whose naturally jeal- ous nature is inflamed when he of- fers the shelter of his home to Vir ginia and Nick Hoyt. The treach- erous Nick learns Chico's true iden- tity and betrays him.
 How Chico escapes by the skin of his teeth with the one girl who remains faithful to him, forms the stirring climax of this unusually well handled production.
 Leading Feminine Actress Mona Maris, who plays the lead- ing feminine role, reveals herself as a dramatic actress of tremen- dous ability. Carol Lombard, Mrs. JimineZ, Theodore Von Eltz, Ar thur Stone, Hank Mann and other well-kncwn players give noteworthy performances in their roles and Alfred Santell's direction and clever use of the gorgeous scenic back grounds of Zion National Park call for special mention, as does Ralph Blocks absorbing and colorful story.
 Added attractions at the Coliseum are a Paramount comedy, The Plasterers;;" an educational film, Bows and Arrows" two Vitaphone acts, and Fox News,

JOAN CRAWFORD |IS AT CAPITOL IN
 MONTANA MOON
Interesting Outdoor Picture Depicts Life in Wide
 Open Spaces |

Joan Crawford, usually associated with society drawing rooms and flappsr boarding schools will be seen in a new environment in Montana Moon" her latest Metro Goldwyn- Mayer offering which will be shown tonight at the Capitol Theatre.
 This production was made on a cattle ranch in the San Jacinto Mountains, POO miles north of Los Angeles where Miss Crawford, to- gether with her director, Malcolm St. Clair and a supporting cast which included John Mack Brown Dorothy Sebastian, Ricardo Cortez Benny Rubin, Cliff Edwards, Karl Dane and Lloyd Ingraham estab- lished location headquarters. Extras are Cowpunchers
 The picture is exceptional in that the majority of it's extra players was recruited from cowpunchers on the ranch, whose activities, includ- ing the riding of bucking broncos lassoing of steers, handling of stam- pedes and other purely Western pursuits were included in the story as part of the general atmospheric detail
 The story, an original by Sylvia Thalberg and Frank Butler centers about the daughter of a retired Montana cattleman who com Q S from New York to visit her fathers ranch for vacation. Here she falls in love with cowboy but the wide difference in their social position seems an impregnable barrier to their happiness.
 Mctnou IS Ingenious
 The ingenious method by which the cowboy finally convinces the Eastern girl that she could be con- tented as his wife gives the presen- tation unusual interest.
 The production presents some thing out of the ordinary in the way of scenic spectacles, many of the sequences being taken on moun- tain tops overlooking wide valleys and rivers and others being taken at the foot of precipitous canyons and ravines.
 The picture is made further at- tractive by number of songs sung by the featured players and by a chorus of 50 cowboys who in- troduce several of the traditiipnal cowpuncher ballads and ditties. ! Added attractions at the Capitol are Big Kick" a Harry Langdon comedy; a Krazy Kat cartoon, and news reel, @
