Frederick Lonsdale, the outstanding genius of the English theatre. This film will not only recreate all the glamour of Spain's most romantic figure but is a witty commentary of this much discussed sex-appeal and an expose of the world's greatest lover which will delight you and your wife too ! Mr. Fairbanks in a greater role than that of ' The Thief of Bagdad ' or ' Robin Hood.'
One of our production units has just returned, after an arduous five months, from the jungles of Africa. They visited little known places in the Congo, Tanganyika and Uganda. They brought back with them hundreds of thousands of feet of sound and film showing the life of the country. We shall use this film to make the greatest romance of Empire building which will be woven round the world famous character by the late Edgar Wallace, COMMISSIONER SANDERS OF THE RIVER. Over twenty thousand natives are used in these scenes one of which shows the war between the Acharis and the Akasavi tribes. The film story is by Lajos Biro and Arlhur Wimperis with dialogue by Jeffrey Dell, author of 'Payment Deferred.' It is directed by Zolian Korda.
We are preparing two films for the oustanding genius of the English stage and of the world screen — Charles Laughton. One of these two films will be written by Frederick Lonsdale. The other by Lajos Biro and Arlhur Wimperis, the two writers who created for him ' HENRY VIII.'
Robert Sherwood, the great American Dramatist (author of 'Reunion in Vienna/ co-author of ' Roman Scandals '), will write 'THE MARSHAL' in which Maurice Chevalier will star for the first time in an English Film. This film will depict the colourful rise to fame of a soldier in the armies of Napoleon.
