Pat he Will Distribute William
Desmond's Latest Production
Pathe will distribute William Desmond's latest starring vehicle, "The Prince and Betty," produced by Jesse D. Hampton from the novel by Pelham Grenville Wodehouse. The contract has just been signed, and publication date for the Hampton melodrama has been set for December 21. Pathe is also distributing the Blanche Sweet features produced by Jesse D. Hampton.
Directed by Robert Thomby
The direction was by Robert Thornby, who directed "Fighting Cressy," with Blanche Sweet. Fred Myton, another member of the Hampton forces responsible for "Fighting Cressy," wrote the continuity for "The Prince and Betty."
Supporting Desmond in the Wodehouse story are Mary Thurman, Anita Kay, George Swann, Walter Perry, Wilton Taylor, William Devaull and Frank Lanning. "The Prince and Betty" is a comedy drama.
Story of South America
Mr. Wodehouse wrote "Oh Boy" and "A Damsel in Distress," which in Pathe annals are classed as two of the most successful features of the year. The story concern itself with the adventures and love affairs of John Maude, an American who gets his smokes free, and his two-by-four room rent peddling cigars in a hotel, suddenly transformed into the prince of a South American
principality. It is not the customary comic opera story that Mr. Wodehouse wove about this fact, but a logical tale, plus some improbabilities and a few revolutions which combine to supply five reels of hilarious amusement.
United Theatres Offers
Exploitation Campaign
Advices from the United Picture Theatres of America is to the effect that a special exploitation and advertising campaign possessing many unusual features is in process of preparation pending the publication of "The Corsican Brothers," the picturization of the novel of the same name by Alexandre Dumas in which Dustin Farnum is to be starred.
Book stores have been equipped with material with which to aid the exhibitor who plans window trimmings. Public libraries have also had their part outlined. Plans are on foot also for a campaign to be directed at the women's clubs and literary societies. Magazines of national circulation are said to have been provided with stories which will also be of material assistance in popularizing the picture.
