P. Heggie and David Torrence. y Famed Artists Contribute To "East Lynne" Broadway Stage Luminaries Act With Marion Davies in "It‘s a Wise Child" Marion Davies surrounded herself with a cast of Broadway celebrites in tche supporting parts of "It‘s a Wise hild." Thursday, May History shares honorsâ€" with . the heart interest in "East Lynne." One of the outstanding scenes in this emoâ€" tional romance is a living reproducâ€" tion of the historically famous scene of Emperor William of Germany at Versailles with his entire staff at the close ‘of the Francoâ€"Prussian War. Bismarck is seen reading the famous proclamation stating that the Emâ€" peror takes possession of Paris. . Earlier in the. production a brief sequence showing: the~bombardment of Paris by the Prussian forces is enacted. It is during this sweeping scene that Isabel, played by Ann Harding, is snowed under an avalâ€" anche of debris from bombarded and falling buildings. Miss Davies expressed herself as delighted with the results obtained with the picturization of "It‘s a Wise Child," and preview reviewers have been especially enthusiastic about the star‘s work in this photoplay. The picture was adapted from one of the mast ‘successful of recent New York stage hits, a David Belasco: producâ€" tion, which ran for a year on Broadâ€" way and was equally popular on tour. Music, too, plays an important role in "Eastâ€"Lynne,"â€"Richardâ€"Fall, famâ€" ous Viennese composer of "The Dollar Princess" . and other operettas and compositions, has written an original French martial air, a Viennese scotâ€" tische and two waltzes. In addition he supervised the playing of famous classic compositions and the singing of "Then You‘ll Remember Me" by Miss Harding. _4 * Prominent on the list of supporting blayers are Sidney© Blackmer, who temporarily gave up the stage to apâ€" pear in "The Bad Man"; James Gleaâ€" son, â€" identified with such Broadway stage hits as "The Shannons of Broadway" and "Is Zat So%t" and Lester Vail, who has scored in a long string of footlight productions. Polly ~Moran â€"and Marie â€" Prevost have character roles of . widely ‘difâ€" ferent natures. Clara Blandick, Robâ€" ert McWade, Johnny Arthur, Hilda Vaughn, Ben Alexander, and Emily Fitzroy are the remaining members of the imposing cast. Based on Belasco Hit CIngmn_'l‘a_llLQ 1931 "Dracula" Strange Drama of "Undead" Ancient Superstition Basis of Thrillâ€" ing Picture, with Great Allâ€"Star Cast, Coming Here Soon An ancient superstition, which claims that "undead" person, hoverâ€" ing strangely between life and death, leave their graves on a certain night of â€"each year, forms theâ€" basis of "Dracula," the hairâ€"raising Universal drama. iess This old belief still persists in cerâ€" tain parts of Europe, and as the fateâ€" ful night approaches abject terror seizes the peasants of the district, who cease all activities at sundown, and securely bolt all doors and winâ€" dows. Wolves howl in the hillsâ€"and it is claimed that these animals are in reality human vampires who are able to change themselves at will into access to places where a human being could not penetrate. â€"Count Dracula is the strange vamâ€" pire of this startling story, and a trail of terror and death results from his horrified influence. The picture, it is said, has been produced with such sincerity and such artistry that the spectator is apt to forget for the moâ€" ment that the story is what might be described as a glorified fairy tale, and to be completely carried away by the strange atmosphere of the play. Hundreds <~of â€" Attendants Used in New ?tm Skinner Film, "Kismet" In reproducing the splendors of eighth century Bagdad on the screen, for the First National talking picture version of "Kismet" starring Otis Skinner, one of the greatest problems with which the producers had to conâ€" tend was that of supplying sufficient servants for the spectacular court and harem of the Caliph. â€" Theâ€"servant problem, the oldest that the housewife knows, was made most difficult in this case by the great variety of types required and the numbers which the magnitude and splendor of the setâ€" tings required. es The multitude of court attendants, attaches and guards which faithful reproduction of ancient Bagdad deâ€" mands ran well over a thousand. This figure includes only servants and solâ€" diers and takes no account of the hundreds of other people®: used in street scenes, mobs, etc. For the outdoor scenes an entire quarter of Bagdad was reproduced authentically from the best existing records, including the shops and bazaars for which this ancient crossâ€" road of world trade was noted.
