A Fine Cast.
Besides Marjorie Daw and Alice Joyce, the two American importations, Graham Cutts had a long list of British stars at work on The Passionate Adventure. Clive Brook played hero, Walter Tennyson materially assisted, and Lillian Hall-Davis and M;iry Brough had outstanding roles. Marjorie Daw was the last of the principals to report for work when the film was started. She had not been well since her arrival and had to take a rest.

And contrariwise I feel as miserable as can be the days the producer wants lighthearted ' shots.' " But as she can turn her emotions on and off at a very few moments' notice once she is beneath the lights, it doesn't matter so much (except to herself) what Marjorie's real feelings are.
