Zierler Has Fine Film in 4 ‘Rise to Fame” Samuel Zierler, president of Excellent Pictures Corporation, stated this week that the current production starring George Walsh, “His Rise to Fame,” would prove a revelation in the force and powder of its entertainment qualities. “We are far enough along in production now,” said Mr. Zierler, “to be able to gauge the quality of what the picture will be when completed. I can say with absolute assurance that the trade will take it right into their arms. It will give the exhibitor, when he first sees it, the same degree of satisfaction that a bowler gets the first time he makes a ten-strike. It’s that good.” Mr. Zierler said that except for unforseen delays the production will be completed in all details by the end of January. Next “Wisecracker” Del Andrews. F. B.
