Someone is using MEXICAN COAST IS LOCALE FOR SCENES OF “GOLDEN DAWN’ For the final scenes of “Golden Dawn,” the Warner Brothers Vita {phone and Technicolor operetta now Theatre, the company | ° at the was sent south to a deserted stretch of Mexican coast where a chartered steamer picked them up and brought them back. The shot shows the receding shores of Africa from the rail of a boat bound for England and no place on the California coast could be found which offered the topography, the coloring, the vegetation and the necessary lack of signs of civilization. All of these things were necessary for the one brief but important se quence. “Golden Dawn” is _ photographed in full natural color and offers an all-star cast headed by Walter Woolf, Vivienne Segal, Alice Gentle, Noah Beery, Lupino Lane and Lee Moran. Ray Enright directed. Weird Spell of Tropics In Singing “‘Golden Dawn” The spell of the tropics that ruins lives is caught with peculiar force in the picture “Golden Dawn” which is now showing at the Theatre. Perhaps it is the quality of the music, for “Golden Dawn” was one of the most successful of all recent stage operettas before Warner Brothers made it into this elaborate Vitaphone and Technicolor version. The combination of these two, the weird music of the barbarian, the shants and ceremonial songs and the overpowering beauty of the tropical sets, that gives an audience the feel of the story. The cast includes Walter Woolf, Vivienne Segal, Alice Gentle, Noah Beery, Lupino Lane, Lee Moran, Marion Byron, Nigel de Brulier, Dick Henderson, Sojin, Nina Quartaro and others.

Natural Color Musical Romance at the A squalid thatched hut, perched perilously on high stick foundations with grass and reed sides and curtained doorways, was the dressing room occupied by Vivienne Segal, while “Golden Dawn,” the natural color musical romance now at the Theatre, was being filmed by Warner Brothers. In fact each of the principals of the all-star cast of the production had such a_ hut during the time tle company was on location. These huts formed the native African village which is shown in many sequences of the story. Inside of these huts were modern conveniences for the use of the players but their exteriors were typical of the jungle. Miss Segal’s particular house was of more than usual interest because both a monkey and a parrot were perched on the rickety stairs that led to the doorway and not far away a baby alligator and several other ungainly tropical “critters” basked in the sun. These unstable grass houses pipe to be very comfortable during the heat of the day when the California sun seemed intent on providing the tropical temperatures suggested in the picture. Walter Woolf and Noah Beery, with leading roles in the production, each found his hut an ideal place for a cool noon-hour nap and all of the cast frankly enjoyed their weeks in the make-believe wilderness. The type of architecture taxed the ingenuity of the studio carpenters. There seem to be no blue prints of a native African village or even an individual hut, and the construction had to proceed from photographs and the oral advice of persons familiar with the country to be pictured. “Golden Dawn” is the story of a. mysterious white girl supposedly born of black parents and loved by a white man, who battles superstition, native prejudices, official indifference and the exigencies of war to prove her white and claim her as his bride. The original operetta was signally ‘successful on the stage and all of the music has been preserved in the Vitaphone version and several effective Theatre. new songs added by Grant Clarke and Harry Akst, of the Warner songwriting cast. It is photographed in natural color, with all the jungle colorings gorgeously recreated for the screen. Aside from those named, the cast includes Alice, Gentle, Lupino Lane, Marion Byron, Lee Moran, Nigel de Otto Matieson, Dick HenderSojin Brulier, others. Several huridred colored extras were used in the production and for the native dances and choruses. The incidental music, the barbarous ceremonials and sacrifices, the chanting, hysterical rituals that precede and motivate savage customs, are all spectacularly pictured.
