"The Red Dance" Booked for Norshore Next Week Revolution in Russia furnishes the background for "The Red Dance," coming to the Norshore theater this Saturday, March 16, with Dolores del Rio and Charles Farrell in the leading roles. Farrell plays a nobleman, whit~ Miss del Rio impersonates an intelligent and beautiful daughter of the downtrodden masses. The story of "The Red Dance," of course, ends as it should, after war and worry have played considerable havoc with the principal figures in the romance. The action is S\1\:ift and at times intensely dramatic. Dolores del Rio has been given credit for some colorful work in "The Red Dance," and Charles Farrell's acting also has been commended. Dorothy Revier is one of those in the supporting cast. On the Norshore stage next week AI Kvale is promising some snappy numbers in a show called "Melody Menu."
