The Filmgoers' Annual
RESURRECTION
JOHN BOLES owes his cess in films to the fact that joining the American Army, when America entered the Great War, interrupted his career as a medical student at the University of Texas, where he had maintained himself by singing in choirs, at funerals, at weddings, and anywhere else where people would pay to hear him. After the war, he tried to grow cotton, but held on to singing as a sideand finally he was able, by patronage of Oscar Seagle, to study voice in Paris. Returning to New York, he got a part in the musical comedy, " Little Jessie James " and made such a hit that Geraldine Farrar selected him as her leading man in light opera. Then, after he had sung in " Kitty Kisses," Gloria Swanson made him her leading man in " Sunya." But the films were silent in those days and John Boles was just another good-looking actor. He appeared in several silent films and was all right, but when he sang and played in " The Desert Song " he was a riot and so he remains ! Following ' The Desert Song," he has played in " Rio Rita," " Captain of the Guard," " The King of Jazz " and " Resurrection," and, of course, he plays opposite Evelyn Laye as the dashing hero of " One Heavenly Night," by virtue of which you will find him smiling at you from page 117!
First published in 1889, " Resurrection," written by Count Leo Tolstoy, is now acknowledged as one of the greatest novels in all literature. This talking picture translation by Universal with John Boles and Lupe Velez is one of the great films of the year.
