PAULINE FREDERICK DOES A THRILLER IN "LA TOSCA"
Pauline Frederick, who is appearing at the Theatre
in the Paramount version of "La Tosca," made her debut as a 'daredevil' at Ft. Marion, Florida, when she made a sensational fall of thirty feet from a parapet of the fort into the water in the death scene of "La Tosca. "
The scene follows the killing of her lover, Mario, by the firing squad after Tosca has stabbed Scarpia, the chief of police. In escaping the pursuing soldiers, Tosca is supposed to be shot and fall into the water. Miss Frederick could have allowed a "double" to do this scene for her, but Edward Jose, her director, was not wrong in supposing that she would accomplish the feat to keep the picture up to the very high standard which prevails throughout.
Other players in the cast are Frank Losee as the Baron Scarpia, Jules Raucourt as Mario, the lover, Henry Hebert as Angelotti, the refugee, and W. H. Forestelle as Spoletti.
There is an actress in Paramount ' s new picture, "La Tosca" now
starring Pauline Frederick at the Theatre, who is superbly
happy at the chance to make herself immortal on the screen. She is none other than Elise, and under less enchanting and romantic circumstances happens to be Miss Frederick's personal maid.
Elise plays the part to which she is eminently fitted by experience and training, that of maid to "La Tosca, " the temperamental heroine of Sardou's great drama. Other players of note who appear in the cast are Frank Losee as the Baron Scarpia. Jules Raucourt as Mario, the lover, Henry Hebert as the fugitive. Edward Jose is the director.
One of the most popular of all operas, Sardou's "La Tosca" is Pauline Frederick's latest Paramount photoplay. It is to be shown at
the Theatre commencing tomorrow. The story of the young
singer who avenges her lover's torture and the insults to herself by stabbing old Baron Scarpia, chief of police and then, finding that her lover has actually been shot in spite of a promise to the contrary, leaps to her death from the parapet of the castle of St Angelo, Rome, is too well known to be given at length, but suffice it to say that an excellent cast. Miss Frederick's superb acting and the direction of Edward Jose promise excellent entertainment for all.
