THE PICTUREGOER IN PARIS (Continued from page 47). 51m was called in France, produced in France and Spain by Henry Roussel, is another striking example of what France can do in the film producing line once it is given the right opportunity. Raquel Meller's best picture previous to this was The Oppressed, but she has appeared in many equally successful productions both here and in Spain. On the Continent she is extremely popular. When these "lines appear, Abel Gance, the famous French producer, will be at work on his new picture with his small company which numbers only 16,000 people. In answer to my enquiry of why and wherefore all this crowd the genial producer of J' Accuse, La Roue, and so many other excellent productions, gave me a few details of the work that will be done in this picture. The French Government is lending five regiments of soldiers to take part in it and, these alone, number 15,000. The title of the picture? Napoleon; and the battles of Austerlitz, Wagram and Jena will be re-enacted, so will the battle of Waterloo. Also Nelson will die again. Yesterday I received a letter from Rex Ingram. The genial producer of The Four Horsemen wrote the missive on an upturned pail in the heart of the Algerian desert, while listening to the sweet carolling of Ramon Novarro explaining Christmas in Araby to charming Alice Terry. Ingram says he is deserting the film industry. " I have yet another year to go to fulfill my contract with Metro, and as soon as it is terminated I shall return to Paris and devote my time to sculpture." Rex Ingram, although he realises that there is more money in pictures, thinks that sculpture is infinitely more fascinating than making films. At present he is at work on The Arab, and the leading roles are taken by Ramon Novarro and Alice Terry. He tells me, however, that he will continue making pictures in Europe until his contract with Metro is ended and then he will settle down in Paris " to a less strenuous life." Nineteen-twenty-four will see a large number of American companies working in France. Besides Rex Ingram there will be Ritz-Carlton producing a number of films starring Rudolph Valentino ; Fordys Films with Reginald Ford as director, will make Pearl White serials ; and maybe Betty Compson will be back shortly acting in a picture for Famous Players. Griffith, I am told, as soon as he has finished America will come over here and make one of his " masterpieces." The most interesting announcement however, comes from Norma Talmadge. She is arriving in Paris very shortly with Joseph Schenk and will start work on a picture with a cast composed mainly of French artistes. \^RDLEYS I Ereesla | FacePowder i | A face powder exquisitely fine and ; jf pure.
