Set in California during the hem.
tic gold rush days of '49. “The
Splendid Road." which had its
premiere showing last night at the
Rialto theater. is one of the neat~
sat blendings of romance. beauty
and suspense that has ever graced
our local screen. ‘
.‘Anna Q. Nilsson. Lionel Barry-
more and Robert Fraser-splendid
Divers all, vied with each other in
giving their interpretations. In the
end it was impossible to decide
which of them gave the best per-
formances.
“Tho Splendid Road." is the first
picture based on the early history
of the west that illustrates. the fact
that possibly more people came
from the East b . ship around Cape
Horn than by 'overed wagon. It
describes the hardships that they
knew and with tenderness pays s.
glowing tribute to the character of
the women who were among the
early settlers. The splendid road
is decidedly worth while.
