lead. This comedy will be directed by William Watson who has already filmed most of the Dooley successes in Christie Comedies of the past season. The story was written by Sig Herzig, and it will be photographed by William Wheeler and Jack Breamer.
Cecil B. deAIille Studio With the nearing of completion of the largest and most modern stage to be found in any studio, and the addition of forty-two acres to the south of the former studio property, the DeMille plant is well qualified to take care of the heavy production schedule now in force there.
Jack Duffy, Kid Wagner, Bill Irving and Bddie Baker in the first ChristieDuffy comedy of the new season.
Monte Blue and Myrna Loy in Warner Bros, production “Across The Pacific. “
George Jessel in Warner Bros, production “Private Izzy Murphy.”
Irene Rich and Stuart Holmes in Warner Bros, production “My Ofl&cial Wife.”
Cecil B. deMille himself is completing plans for the filming of “The King of Kings,” which he plans to make his most memorable screen offering and actual filming on this tremendous subject will be started early in August. Jeanie Macpherson is preparing the scenario and a vast amount of research has been accomplished in bringing this life of Christ to the screen. Frank Urson and William Cowan, formerly
Dimitri Buchowtezki’s assistant, will assist DeMille in the filming of this powerful subject and practically the entire ensemble of DeMille stock players, as well as a number of outside players of prominence will be cast for the many Biblical roles.
Production has started on “The Yankee Clipper,” which Rupert Julian is directing with William Boyd, Elinor Fair and Junior Coghlan in the featured roles. This is a story by Denison Clift dealing with the struggle between America and England for the commercial supremacy of the sea in 1850 and promises to be one of the most spectacular productions to come from the DeMille studio.
William deMille has practically completed the filming of “For Alimony Only,” in which Leatrice Joy stars and preparations are being made to start production on “Vanity,” Miss Joy’s next feature, within a few weeks. Both of these are from original screen stories by Lenore J. Coffee. In “For Alimony Only,” Leatrice Joy is supported by Lilyan Tashman, Clive Brook, Casson Ferguson and Toby Claude.
Reflecting the enthusiasm that “Gigolo” aroused at its pre-view showing, Rod La Rocque has started work on “The Cruise of the Jasper B,” a screen farce from the scintillant pen of Don “Marquis.” This is being directed by James Horne, who recently signed with DeMille.
Vera Reynolds is in the midst of “Corporal Kate,” an original story written especially for her by Zelda Sears. Paul Sloane is directing this picture, which deals for the first time the
woman’s side of the great war and the supporting cast includes Kenneth Thomson, new DeMille “find,” Julia Faye and Majel Coleman.
With William K. Howard handling the megaphone, Jetta Goudal is starring in “White Gold,” a picture which offers her a role in keeping with her exotic personality.
