In order that the beautiful forest settings of the production, which by the way stars Rin-Tin-Tin, mig~t be brought to the screen in all their natural love~iness, light was reflected by a new and clever arrangement of mirrors and .reflectors. To reproduce the richness which natural sunlight alone gives, reflections were cast in this manner as far as half a mile. Jason Robards, Dorothy Dwan, Tom Santschi, Billy Kent Schaeffer, Nanette and Rin -Tin-Tin, Jr., are members of the ·e xceptional cast. The picture will be shown on F.riclay and Saturday.
