Fiunk Mayo Relaxing hi Hii^ Dresx iii(/-Rooiii Mayo Mighty Busy •yilE announcement of the early release of Frank Mayo in "Colorado" should come as welcome news to his scores of admirers for this picture from the famous stage play of the equally famous American dramatist, Augustus Thomas, has all the elements in it that best fit the virile personality and striking talents of the star. "Colorado" is full of romance, of adventure, of the big open country and of "fight," and what more can the Mayo admirers ask ? The filming of "Colorado" as a vehicle for Mayo is in line with the Universal policy of supplying this star with stories from the pens of well-known writers. Mayo's previous release, "Tiger True," was filmed from the famous story of "Tiger" by Max Brand. Now that he has finished his work in "Colorado," the star is busy on, his next production, from the pen of the famous scenarist, J. G. Hawks. It is a picture tentatively called "Blood Brother to the Pines," and has to do with the big open northern country and of the unusual manner in which the hero captures the woman of his heart, even against her own will. This picture will have an added novelty in the person of the director, Robert Thornby, who has but recently joined the Universal forces, and who makes his initial bow to Universal audiences with this production. And what is more, the leading lady is no less a personage than dainty Dorothy De Vore, erstwhile comedy queen. It has just been announced that Universal has purchased "The Truant," a thrilling novel by Izola Forrester and Mann Page, which will soon run serially in the pages of the Delineator magazine, for the use of Mayo. It is now being whipped into shape, and it is most probable that the star will do this one after he has finished with the Hawks story. Izola Forrester and Mann Page are a well-known literary combination that can be counted upon to provide something thrilling and entertaining at all times. With such plans as these in store for Frank Mayo, his admirers can well rest easy that there will be a constant source of "good ones" from him within the coming months. The recent Mayo pictures, "Hitchin' Posts," "The Marriage Pit," "Honor Bound" and "Tiger True" are meeting with hearty receptions everywhere. For Frank Mayo is a popular favorite, and with the added attraction of good pictures and good direction his ever-increasing popularity is not to be wondered at in the least.
