Anita Stewart in a typical Mayer luxury setting
His John M. Stahl Productions have in the past kept pace with the best box office magnets, and according to plans now in effect, Mr. Stahl's future pictures will be staged on an even greater and more elaborate scale than ever before. Both the director and producer are concentrating their efforts on two main points — that the stories be of sure fire interest and that the exhibitors get on the screen the full value of the money spent on the production.
Mr. Stahl has just started on the filming of "The Dangerous Age" with Lewis Stone heading the all-star cast. As is characteristic of other Stahl films, heart interest is the reigning element in this picture with plenty of action, good, clean comedy and a few melodramatic thrills to set the pulses jumping.
While on his recent trip to New York, Mr. Mayer secured options on a big dramatic play and three strong novels so as to be prepared with the right kind of material for First National theatres when Mr. Stahl is ready to start on his next production. He has just closed a three year contract with J. G. Hawks, formerly editor and supervisor of productions for Goldwyn, to serve as managing editor of his studio and has enlarged his technical staff and stages to be sure that every advantage in the way of production facilities be given to his pictures.
Recognized as one of the leading independent producers in the industry, Louis B. Mayer has established an enviable record for a consistently good product. Not once since his advent into the production field has he given exhibitors a picture of cheap grade or salacious character.
