THE MOVING PICTURE WEEKLY
LIVE VI RE
MACQUES JACCARD — sounds like a countryman of Marshal Joffre. doesn't it? He isn't, though. For all his French name and ancestry, he is a straight American, and proud of it. He is a live wire as well, and one of the cleverest serial directors in the game. At the present moment, he is engaged upon his masterpiece, "The Red Ace."
Jaccard is the author and producer of "Liberty," the serial which delighted the regular fans and made thousands of converts to this form of screen entertainment. It is a fact that people who had disdained serials refused to miss a single episode. Marie Walcamp was the heroine of that success, and Marie Walcamp, directed by Jacques Jaccard, is the splendid combination which is putting over the new serial, "The Red Ace," in a manner which threatens the supremacy of their former triumph.
Jaccard claims New York as his birthplace, but he was educated in France. He came over to this country and got a job in stock. He rose rapidly to the position of producer, for he seemed just born for the job. After about four years of this, he deserted to pictures. He made the rounds — Universal, American, International, and then Universal again, where he really belongs. Jaccard is entitled to write "actor-author-director" after his name, for he has often taken part in his own productions. He adapted and produced the "Terence O'Rourke" series, with J. Warren Kerrigan, and he wrote and directed that State Rights feature, "Is Any Girl Safe?", which scored a big hit. "Liberty" was the crowning success of his career, until "The Red Ace" appeared to threaten it. As usual, he is working on his own story, the advantage of which is that he can take advantage of every hprjpening in the course of production, which will put an extra punch into the picture. You just simnly can't wait for the next chapter — and that feeling is the final test of success in a serial.
