REAL ITALIAN ACTORS IN EXTRA RANKS OF PARAMOUNT CAVALIERI PICTURE
In spite of the fact that art of makeup will deceive even the searching lens of the motion picture camera . Director Emile Chautard is determined that local color in the first Paramount picture with Lina Cavalieri as the star shall be absolutely perfect, and for that reason has engaged a large number of Italian people to interpret the extra roles.
The scenes of "The Eternal Temptress," which will bring Mme. Cavalieri to the screen, and which was wr itten expressly for the beautiful operatic favorite by Mme. Fred de Gresac, and adapted by Eve Unsell, are all laid in Italy. •
Besides the familiar Grand Canal of Venice, the Bridge of Sighs and the quays of Rome, the Famous Church of San Marco has been reproduced at Fort Lee with startling fidelity. In several scenes the star is seen entering or leaving the doors of this picturesque old house of worship, and the populous neighborhood, with churchgoers, beggar hordes, and so on, required the use of large numbers of extra people. Not satisfied with using the ordinary types employed in "mob" scenes, made up for the occasion, Director Chautard sent out a call for real Italians.
The studio lot has been crowded ever since with picturesque figures, some in the very garb they wore as immigrants from the sunny lands of their own country. There is much voluble and expressive discourse in the Latin tongue which, of course, Mme. Cavali^4i^ understands perfectly, but which might as well be Greek so far as some of the actors in the picture are concerned. It is absolutely certain, however, that when "The Eternal
Temptress" is seen upon the screen of the Theatre on it
wlil mirror faithfully the picturesque Old World cities with their densely crowded streets.
Emile Chautard is a persistent seeker for "atmosphere" in pictures, because he realizes that a large part of the charm and the convincing quality of a photoplay depends upon this elusive quality.
