OLIVER MOROSCO " SLIPPY McGEE" 'LIPPY McGEE" had outwitted he couldn't evade fate the police but It caught the cleverest safecracker in America, tossed him injured into a little parish house, and imprisoned him with butterflies, goodness and a girl's smile. A priest was his "jailer" and he shackled his prisoner with more lasting bounds than steel. When Marie Conway Oemler wrote the book "Slippy McGee," she wove a story that found immense popularity. Oliver Morosco has given it all his mastery of the dramatic art. For more than a score of years one of the foremost producers on the stage, Oliver Morosco has brought to the screen his genius for originality, suspense and climax. The picture was filmed in Natchez, Miss., so that there would be genuineness to the locale and in selecting his cast, he personally sought to match up each of the book's characters with actors who would step as from the pages.
