This is a story of Kentucky life, by Charles NcvUIe Buck, the well known dramatist, whose books and plays hare won him a consider- able reputation. Tbe photoplay will be -directed by J. H. TbonibT, an experienced motion picture producer who, in the i-clectlcn of locations In Kentucky, will ba pcraam- ally assisted b; the author. Authors of plays and books that are nlctnrlxed frequently advise as to the settlnza for.the action, but thla la probably the hrst time that an author has specially exerted WmscK to help select, for a motion picture, the scenes he bad u his mind's eye when writing his origlnni book.
