CECIL B. DE MILLE
Rising from one triumph to another, now plans a series of pictures to excel anything ever before offered —
1915: Geraldine Farrar in "Carmen", a De Mille "scoop" and a never-to-beforgotten picture, which marked a big step forward in the film industry.
1916: Under DeMille's management, "Wally" Reid was the best loved of movie heroes.
1920: Gloria Swanson — Lila Lee — Thomas Meighan — headed for fame in "Male and Female".
A LITTLE over ten years ago, Cecil B. DeMille was putting in his second year in the moving picture field, and he was working feverishly to prove that there was a place in motion pictures for bigger and better films. In between those first desperate days and the present time, is a record of achievement which has been equalled by no other producer.
With each succeeding DeMille triumph, it has seemed as though the topmost pinnacle of Motion Picture perfection had been reached, and yet when it seemed as though there were no further heights to which he could climb, there burst upon the world, two years ago, that greatest of all DeMille spectacles — "The Ten Commandments"— a production so vast and so absorbing that it held audiences breathless and convinced them that DeMille must, indeed, be a worker of miracles to have wrought so stupendous a masterpiece!
WHAT willCecil B.DeMille do next? DeMille is looking forward to even more glorious achievements in the future. He and his Associate Directors have planned a series of pictures, each one of which
1922: "Manslaughter" brought to Meighan a new leading lady and to the public a new idol — Leatrice Joy.
And now! "The Road to Yesterday ".DeMille'sfirst great independent offering through the Producers Distributing Corporation. Adapted by Jeanie Macpherson and Beulah Marie Dixfrom the play by Beulah Marie Dix and E. G. Sutherland.
