From Russia to Hollywood
A Breath of Heliotrope
Shown in the photo with Gloria Swanson and Sam Wood is Thais Valdemar, who fled from a Russian prison and who will appear in support with Miss Swanson in Sam Wood’s production, “Bluebeard’s Eighth Wife.”
Jacqueline Logan Has Title Role
On March 26th George Melford started his new production, “Salomy Jane,” which, it will be remembered, was Paul Armstrong’s play adapted from the Bret Harte story. Waldemar Young wrote the film version and Jacqueline Logan will be seen in the title role. Two other important players will be Maurice Flynn and William Davidson, the latter a well-known Eastern actor and the former already known for some excellent work in our pictures.
“Salomy Jane” will represent upon the screen another of those classics which are virtually immortal and are distinctly American, ranking beside “Rip Van Winkle,” “The Old Homestead,” “Shore Acres,” and others of that type. Mr. Melford plans some unusually strong features, especially some beautiful and typical scenery for backgrounds.
Gloria Swanson Completes Scenes at Del Monte
Gloria Swanson and the company making her current starring picture, “Bluebeard’s Eighth Wife,” a Sam Wood production, have returned to Hollywood from Del Monte after several days at the California resort, where beach scenes were taken.
Work was immediately resumed at the studio. Sets had already been constructed in anticipation of the return and minor players were waiting to start when Miss Swanson arrived at the studio.
Those who returned with the company from Del Monte include, besides Director Wood and Miss Swanson, Huntly Gordon, Robert Agnew and Charles Greene.
Isn’t Betty Compson a picture in this costume worn in a vision scene for Herbert Brenon’s production, “The Rustle of Silk,” wherein she and Conway Tearle are featured?

tures, especially some very beautiful typical scenery for backgrounds.
Sam Wood’s trip to Del Monte was rather shorter than was expected and the scenes made there for “Bluebeard’s Eighth Wife,” in which Gloria Swanson stars, were taken in record time. The company arrived back at the studio the first of the week and have begun on interior scenes. Sada Cowan adapted this Charlton Andrews version of Alfred Savoir’s play. Huntly Gordon has the male lead and among others in the cast are June Elvidge and Robert Agnew.
Walter Hiers is still in San Francisco for public appearances but will return in time to start work on the 26th, under the direction of Rob Wagner, in his third comedy-drama, tentatively titled “Fair Week.” This is an original by Walter Woods, who will also serve as production editor. This, as has been announced, will be the first attempt of Mr. Wagner to direct, although he has been building up for that very work through many years’ association with the people of the screen.
