Press stories to be sent out a week ahead and during the showing of ‘THE DEVIL STONE ’
The release by Artcraft of "The Devil Stone," coming to
the next marks the sixth Geraldine Farrar production
filmed at the studios of the Lasky company since the famous prima donna first entertained the field of the photoplay, two years ago.
It is interesting to note that all of the Farrar productions have been created by practically the same working organization, including the director, Cecil B. DeMille, who has been responsible for the staging of the entire series of remarkable features, and Jeanie MacPherson, who wrote the scenarios for the six photoplays.
The selection of appropriate vehicles for the noted star has been a serious problem, but the great success of the Farrar films bespeaks well of the judgment of the producers, who have based ' the stories on big themes, the more recent of which, "The Woman God Forgot" and "Joan the Woman," created the new epoch in Cinema art.
"The Devil Stone" is a story of weird fascination which presents Miss Farrar in a modern role, based upon the big theme of Superstition, brought .down from ancient folk lore and influencing the events in the life of a modern woman.
The same supporting cast which has appeared to excellent ad
ft
vantage in previous Farrar films is seen in this latest photoplay, including Wallace Reid, Hobart Bosworth, James Neill, Horace B. Carpenter, Tully Marshall, Raymond Hatton and Theodore Roberts. To Alvin Wyckoff, chief of the camera staff, who has been responsible for the splendid photography of Lasky pictres, is due the credit for the exquisite effects
I
in "The Devil Stone," and the splendid ocean views of the fisheries of Brittany.
