Paramount Pep
In And Around Paramountown
By Shirk
Christmas was a very merry one, indeed, for most of the folks in pictures and our organization celebrated it largely in the conventional manner, individually speaking, with home dinners and the exchange of greetings and presents. Now that it is over, all are looking forward to a very busy New Year. The studio is in full blast, with prospects of the finest productions ever made by any company.
The last of 1922 will see ‘‘Bella Donna” completed, it is believed. This first Pola Negri picture in America has been difficult in many respects, what with its tenseness, its high dramatic action and emotional scenes, which were wearing upon star and everyone concerned, including the producer, George Fitzmaurice. But out of it has come one of the most beautiful and striking dramas that has ever been made. Ouida Bergere did a sympathetic and masterful piece of work in adapting Robert Hichens’ exotic novel. Conway Tearle, Conrad Nagel and Lois Wilson support the Polish star.
Sam Wood is going to do big things with the new production “Prodigal Daughters,” in which Gloria Swanson stars. The ending, or rather the scenes just preceding the conclusion of the story which Monte Katterjohn adapted and modified from Joseph Hocking’s novel, will be the most amazing that have been conceived in years, it is claimed. Just what this climax is to be no one as yet has been informed to any extent. But it will be cataclysmic in character. Ralph Graves makes a good looking leading man and Theodore Roberts, Vera Reynolds, Louise Dresser and others have fine roles.
Astonishingly colorful is “The Law of the Lawless,” in which Dorothy Dalton will star, supported by Theodore Kosloff and Charles de Roche. It would have been hard to find three persons better suited to the three leading roles, or three roles better suited to the individuals who play them. De Roche as a Gypsy Chieftan, Miss Dalton as a Tartar girl and Kosloff as a tartar also, have a chance for the fiery, unrestrained acting that they can do so well, while the costuming is extremely attractive. There are plenty of horseback riding, some hard fights, romance that is like _ a flaming meteor in its heights and swift moving, passionate eroticism. E. Lloyd Sheldon adapted the story by Konrad Bercovici, and Victor Fleming is the director.

In the Wilds of Hollywood
Cecil B. De Mille lured Adolph Zukor, our President, into the wilds of his prehistoric set of “Adam’s Rib,” on the latter’s visit to the West Coast recently.
Mr. De Mille is explaining the why and wherefore of the costumes worn by Anna Q. Nilsson, left, and Milton Sills, right.
