"Madame Du Barry" Starring Dolores Del Rio And Victor Jory At The Louisburg Theatre Thurs day and Friday, Nov. 29th and 30th "Mad. i i Barry," the War ner Br iction depicting the intimate e nd loves at the fa mous beauty who'ruled the court of King Louis XV, comes to the Louisburg Theatre, Thursday (Thanksgiving) and Friday, No vember 28th and 29th with Dolores Del Rio in the stellar role. Although the intrigues of the eourt, as in any story of Du Barry, will be apparent, Edward Chod oroy, the author of the current screen play, is said to have con cerned himself with the lighter side of the king's favorite. The picture, while billed as a comedy drama, with the emphasis on the comedy, also is a mam moth spectacle with its gorgeous reproductions of the court, the palace at Versailles, the famous Colonnade Gardens, where the grand ladies and resplendent cour tiers disported themselves in gaie ty and luxury, while the people starved. Nor is the picture without its dramatic moments when Du Bar ry fights intrigue with intrigue, usually outwitting her enemies, who would gladly thrust a dagger through her beautiful back. Yet even in these more intense sequen ces, the irrepressible Du Barry usually manages to end them with a laugh? at the expense of the enemy. There is a gorgeous and novel dance staged by the famous Alber tina Rash daqcers. The picture has an unusually large cast of talented players in the principal roles and hundreds of others in minor parts. Dolores Del Rio has the part of Du Barry with Reginald Owen playing op posite her as King Louis XV. Other include Victory Jory. Os good Perkins. Verree Teasdale, Ferdinand Gottschalk, Dorothy Tree, Anita Louise, Maynard Holmes. Henry O'Neill. Hobart Cavanaugh and Helen Lowell.
