Kinema Guide Jan. 26th to Feb. 1st. "THE BAD ONE" THIS is the story of a Spanish giri and of an American sailor who falls in love with her in the dock district of Marseilles. Dolores del Rio as Lita, the girl, and Edmund Lowe as Jerry, the sailor, are the stars of this romantic film and go through many stirring scenes. Jerry gets into trouble at* Marseilles and is sentenced to ten years at an island prison. He erroneously thinks Lita is the cause of his arrest. A revolt occurs at the prison and Jerry takes the lead. He is shot in the ensuing fight after dramatically and unintentionally destroying with dynamite a bridge which is the prisoners' sole means of escape. Some good fighting scenes occur in this part of the film. Lita nurses Jerry back to consciousness and he is pardoned on the grounds that he brought about the end of the mutiny. This is perhaps not very convincing as a story but the film has strong dramatic and romantic interest with plenty of action. Dolores del Rio and Edmund Lowe in "The Bad One. 4
