What You Should Know About “Rose Of The World/^ “Rose of the World” is adapted for the screen from the book by Agnes and Edgerton Castle. The scenario was written by Charles Maigne. The Castles have won fame in the literary world for the gripping suspense and mystery of their stories, and “Rose of the World” was their crowning achievement. Miss Elsie Ferguson is the star, this being her third appearance in pictures, all three being released by Artcraft. Miss Ferguson is especially suited to heavy roles, having won her greatest successes on the regular stage in characters similar to “Rosamond,” the highly emotional part she interprets in “Rose of the World.” This story was selected for Miss Ferguson on account of the many intensely dramatic situations it presented. She is one of the few really great stars possessing youth, beauty and talent, and as the widow of a war hero she makes an appealing figure. Maurice Tourneur, the wizard of the screen, directed the production. The play is staged in India and London, and the settings are faithful and elaborate. Mr. Tourneur has selected Miss Ferguson’s supporting cast with a rare degree of skill, and weird types add an Oriental atmosphere to the interesting story. The photoplay will undoubtedly cause favorable comment throughout the country as an artistic and dramatic offering of extraordinary merit. ARTCRAFT pictures are admittedly the best photoplays in the world, and “Rose of the World” is one of the best released by Artcraft.
