"The Son-Daughter/'
All the fanla~lic pageantry that made San Franci~co 's Chinatown one of the romantic spot!:' of the U.S.A. is reproduced on a true lo life scale for a screen holiday in the filming of "The Son-Daughetr," .Metro·
Goldwyn-Mayer's drama of Oriental plot and intrigue in which Helen Hayes and Ramon ovarro will be seen on Mondav at the
Royal 111eatre. ·
On a replica of Grant Avenue, main Lhoroughfare of the Chinese quarter, fire·
crackers pop, altar boys scatter red paper, glass bells-swung by the wind-tinkle over gaudy scrolls on which prayers are written, and the great silk dragon, borne on the shoulders of a hundred men, writhe t through
the revellers.
These strange sights are part of the pec- Lacular ·wedding parade in which Mis Hayes and Warner Oland enact the rich gamhl r and hi auction-bought bride. Every detail, from the ancient hack to the bride's teak- woo<l palanquin, was reproduced in the ornate pectacle.
