What Exhibitors Should Know About “THE WHISPERING CHORUS” An Artcraft Picture STARS This is in every respect a superb picture production, with Kathlyn Williams Raymond Hatton, Elliott Dexter, Tully Marshall and James Neill in the' leading roles. Seldom have so many notable players been presented in any single production, and coupled with the dramatic interest of this superb story, and its heart-appealing force, this is a Paramount picture far above the ordinary. DIRECTOR “The Whispering Chorus” is a special Cecil B. DeMille production for Artcraft release and is particularly noteworthy on that account. Mr. DeMille is famous for his productions of “Joan the Woman,” “The Woman God Forgot,” “The Devil Stone” and others, all of which established new and higher standards of cinema art. AUTHOR Perley Poore Sheehan, famous novelist and magazine writer. SCENARIO By Jeanie Macpherson, brilliant author of the scenarios of numerous Artcraft pictures, all of which have become famous. STORY An absorbingly dramatic and tense story of a man who, harassed by debt, resorts to theft. He deserts his wife, becomes a hermit ‘longshoreman, changes clothes with a drowned man, assumes an alias and later is hunted down by the police who mistake him for his own murderer. When he learns that his wife is happily married to the governor of his state, he goes to death rather than wring from her the admission that he is her husband. The various scenes are filled with thrills and dramatic action of the highest order. PHOTOGRAPHY By Alvin Wyckoff, a master cameraman.
