She must mix with her portrayal of aristocratic reserve, something of the fiery temperament of the East, and her emotional potentialities must be deep. "Obviously, this is no role for an actress with stereotyped ideas on drama; it is one for a girl of versatility, capable of intense emotional response. I predict an unusual success for Miss Fair in this part." "The Volga Boatman," an original story by Konrad Bercovici, has been prepared for the screen by Lenore Coflee. "The Man Upstairs," Completed The production of "The Man Upstairs," Warner Eros', adaptation of Earl Derr Biggers' popular story, "The Agony Column," with Monte Blue and Dorothy Devore in the leading roles, has been finished at the West Coast Studios. The players are Monte Blue, Dorothy Devore, Helen Dunbar, Heine Conklin, John Roche, Stanley Taylor, Eve Southern, Otto Hoffman, Carl Stockdale and Arthur Thalaso. CECIL B. DE MILLE after searching the entire rnovie colony for a suitable feminine lead for his second personally directed production, "The Volga Boatman," has selected Elinor Fair after screening several pictures in which she recently appeared. Miss Fair is barely twenty but despite her youth her work has won her parts in "Kismet," "Through the Back Door" with Mary I'ickford, and "Driven." In 1924 she was honored by being selected as a Wampas Baby Star for the season. Now, through her affiliation with De Mille, it is freely predicted that she will undoubtedly step to stardom through the same portal by which Gloria Swanson, Bebe Daniels, Leatrice Joy, Rod La Rocque, Thomas Meighan and others scaled the heights of motion picture fame. ".^bility, beauty and youth are the three qualities for which I selected Miss Fair," said De Mille. "The part she is to play in 'The Volga Boatman' demands the first two in large measure, and it is not one for an old campaigner of the screen. She must portray a Russian aristocrat, patrician in ideas and appearance, yet possessed of a keen Kathleen Myers Cast Kathleen Myers has been cast in a role .supporting Buck Jones in "The Gentle ■Cyclone," which has just gone into production at the Fox Films studio under the direction of W. S. Van Dyke. Rose Blossom will play the feminine lead. "Up and At 'Em" For Tom Tyler "Up and At 'Em," a western comedy melodrama starring Tom Tyler, has been accepted for production by F. B. O., it was announced yesterday by B. P. Fineman, general manager of production. It is an original story by Buckleigh Fritz Oxford and the adaptation has been made by J. G. Hawks and Percy Heath, of the F. B. O. scenario stafT It will be put into production as soon as Tyler completes his present vehicle "The Wyoming Wildcat." ELINOR FAIR Star of many productions, and a featured player of reno^m, has been selected by Cecil B. DcMillc for the lead in his forthcoming production, "The Volga Boattnan," in zchich William Boyd uill Iwve the featured male role. Mr. DcMille's productions are released by Producers' Distributing Corporation. Stop Cheating Yourself Out of Real Profits— BOOK MADE WCHf-PRJCE RICHT PROftTS RICHT BOOK THEM TODtAXi
