The only American who ever won the British professional open golf championship faced the camera lens for the first time last week at the Hollywood Studios in a role far different from that he assumed when he became America's ace of the putting green. Under the direction of Clarence Bricker, who discovered the exploitation and photographic possibilities of Hagen, the golf champ blithely stepped into his new occupation with a reassuring abandon. According to studio advices, Mr. Hagen will protray the role o fa spoiled son of wealthy parents in a story entitled "The Man Who Cheated." It will be a six-reel comedy drama. The cameraman is Ray Rennahan. G. B. Manly is the scenarist. The J. A. Mowat Productions is the name of the firm sponsoring Hagen. Stageland's "Greatest Mother" In Film Cast When the filming of the Mohawk production of "The Man Who Cheated" is started at the Hollywood studios next week, Lucy Beaumont, widely heralded as "the greatest mother on the stage," will be in the cast, playing the mother role — that of Mrs. Eldridge. This will be Miss Beaumont's first picture in Southern California, she having arrived here from New York less than a month ago after abandoning a stage career of twenty years' standing for the sake of embracing the opportunities of the screen in order to reach larger and more audiences. Charles Van Enger will photograph the Goldwyn production, "Three Wise Fools," directed by King Vidor. John Seitz has returned to Los Angeles from Miami, Florida, via New York City. At Miami and in Cuba, Seitz filmed Rex Ingram's production of John Russell's "Where the Pavement Ends." To Film in Oregon The next Frederick Reel, Jr., production, "The Man From Outside," will start at once, and, according to present plans, will be filmed in lower Oregon, where conditions are best adapted for this particular story. Kimball in "Other Side" Edward Kimball, eminent character actor, has been signed for the part of "Williams," the faithful old family butler in Hugh Deirker's production of "The Other Side," now being filmed at the Fine Arts studio. Mr. Kimball's splendid portrayal of "Brock," the valet in Guy Bates Post's screen version of "The Masquerader," was responsible for his engagement. Mr. Deirker paid Mr. Kimball's salary in order that his all-star cast could be complete.
