December is the season for many fiestas in Guatemala, and one of the gayest is the Fiesta of Guada lupe, according to Major Frank Baker who, during his location trip to Central America as a member of the New Adventures of Tarzan company, has gathered much inter esting information about the coun try. The most striking feature of the Guadalupe celebration, Major Bak er snys, is the Devil Dance—not on ly because of the rythmic fascina tion of the dancers’ movements, but because of the picturesque costumes they wear. Many of these costumes are elaborate and beautifully made garments of rrd and blub velvet, lavishly decorated with spangles and embroidery. With these, the danc ers wear devil masks with horns. Many of these are hideous but all are cleverly constructed. Care free in disposition, and lov ing gaiety the Quiches —or Guata malan natives—do not allow even th'f) tragedies of life to interfere with their fun. An incident illustra tive of this point is this: while the Devil Dance Major Baker witness ed was in progress just outside the entrance to onq of the big cathed rals, a funeral procession approach ed. Unaffected by the fact that a coffin was being borne through their midst, the merry-makers did not cease thfeir hilarity for a mo ment—nor did the mourners take' the situation seriously. Fact is, they themselves laughed quite as hearti ly at th'e antics of the dancers as did the other spectators of the car nival. The particular Devil Dance which Major Baker saw, took place in the Guatemalan town of San Cristo bal, and will be shown in full in “The New Adventurfeg of Aarzan” when this new Edgar Rice Bur roughs feature is released. “The New Adventures of Tarzan" will open at the Dolly Madison the atre on Saturday. iffeg BERRY MADE HIS FILM DEBUT AS SWEDISH MAID Star of “Old Hutch” Now Screen’s Most Popular Character Actor. DOLLY MADISON MONDAY AND TUESDAY, OCT. 19-20 Wallace Beery scoffed at the ru mor of his retirement from profes sional work, and answered that he was just getting started. Although he has spent some twenty odd years on the stage, tfie* Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer star, to ap pear in “Old Hutch” at tlfe Dolly Madison theatre next Monday, says that his screen and radio work is much too interesting to even think of quitting. Born in Kansas City, Missouri, on April first, “Jumbo,” as he was call ed by his friends, started work as a wiper in a round-house. Work as an elephant trainer followed, and finally he found himself on Broad way working as a chorus boy. The illness of Raymond Hitchcock gave him an opportunity to star in “The Yankee Consul.” After touring the country in a stock company, Beery made his screen debut in a two-reel comedy at the Essanay Studios, playing the role of a Swedish maid. Not con tent with knowing only one angle of the motion picture busin’ess, Beery became a director, camera man and electrician. In Hollywood he joined the famous Keystone comqdies and after completing his contract he took a group of film players to Japan and almost lost every cent he had. « » , „ . . Returning, he became a “heavy” and became “box office” in “Robin Hood,” “Richard, the Lion-Heart ed,” “The Sea Hawk” and other hits. A return to comedy found him co starred with Raymond Hatton.
