PARAMOUNT
‘‘The Mighty,” a powerful all-
talking melodrama, starring George
Bancroft, will be shown in Atlanta at
the Paramount Theatre during the
week of November 25. In support of
this famous star are Esther Ralston,
last seen and heard to advantage in
“The Wheel of Life,” and Warner
Oland who was recently starred in
“The Mysterious Dr. Ku Manchu.”
In this latest Paramount production,
a stirring story of a notorious gun
man’s regenerations is unfolded with
telling effect. Seldom has a more fas
cinating plot made its way to the
audible screen. The action is fast, re
plete with many exciting sequences
that build up to a suspense-filling cli
max. And best of all, the picture is
always convincing and believable, in
many respects the best George Ban
croft vehicle seen and heard to date.
The performance of Bancroft in the
role of the swaggering gunman who
forsakes his criminal life through the
influence of a woman who loves and
has faith in him is of high order. As
a matter of fact, those who have seen
the picture are convinced that in
“The Mighty” he gives the best per
formance of his career.
RIALTO
The Rialto offers this week Carol
Lombard and Robert Armstrong, both
of whom will be remembered for their
excellent work in “Big News,” in “The
Racketeer,” a distinctly different un
derworld drama, outstanding in story
plot and characterizations.
“The Racketeer” tells a gripping
story of the bigness of a man who
dominated his own clan and a woman
who was willing to throw aside con
ventions of high society for love.
Strong with human appeal and force
this all music, sound and dialogue
opus offers the blonde beauty, Carol
Lombard, in an ideally suitable role, as
that of the popular society girl whose
courageous heart rules. Never has this
star appeared more beautiful and of
fered a more finished piece of acting.
While Robert Armstrong, as the sym
pathetic friend and lover, contributes
a fine performance.
Others in the all star cast include
John Loder, pretty Jeanette Loff, Hed-
da Hopper and Roland Drew, each a
recognized actor.
Action of “The Racketeer” takes
place in the upper circles of wealth
and fashion in New York.
