"HELLDORADO FINGIS TREATRE
A magnificent cast has been as- sembled for Jesse L Lasky's Fox Film production, "Halldorado," which is showing at the King's Theatre to-day.
One of the largest and most co- lourful sets ever erected for the purpose of making a film is stated to be the complete Californian ghost-town which was re-produced Ito form the background for the climactic sequences of this unus- val picture.
Because of the necessity to sti- mulate rain it was impossible to
use an actual ghost town, although there are still many of these in existence in California, Nevada and Arizona. Unfortunately they are not equipped with modern water systems.
Heading the cast are Richard Arlen and Madge Evans, support-1 ed by Ralph Bellamy, James Glea- son. Henry B. Walthall, Helen Je-l rome Eddy, Gertrude Short, Patri cia Farm, Stepin Fetchit, Lucky Harlic, Stanley Fields and Berton Churchill.
