™“Warner studio BIOGRAPHICAL BUILD-UPS Dawn,” the new dramatic hit which will have its first performance at the Strand tomorrow. Nancy Carroll is also in a featured role opposite young Doug. Cut No. 4 Cut 30c Mat roc D th day of run Nancy Carroll Stopped by Doorman at Warner Studio The open-handed hospitality of the Golden West, and Hollywood in particular, didn’t work so well for Naney Carroll the first day she reported for work at the Warner Bros. studios, where she and Lilyan Tashman were scheduled to play the feminine leads opposite Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. in his newest starring picture, “Scarlet Dawn,” which is now playing at the Theatre. First of all, Nancy cou!'dn’t get into the studio. As a player borrowed from another studio, she was nnknewn to the doorman ¢t the e. It toon a great deal of phoning to establish her identity to the satisfaction of the hard-boiled gate-keeper. Sighing with relief, Miss Carroll made her way to the stage where the first scenes of “Scarlet Dawn” were to be shot. Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., Lilyan Tashman, and all the rest of the cast were waiting for her, dressed in the Russian costumes chosen to carry out the epic theme of the picture, set against a Russian background. The players welcomed Miss Carroll jubilantly and set to work on the first scenes. At lunch time, Nancy Carroll had another taste of hospitality of a sort to which she was unaccustomed. The studio, in honor of “Tanyusha,” (Naney’s cast name), had prepared a special Russian luncheon in keeping with the Russian story. Borsht (cold beet soup) and tschav (another Russian dish) were on the menu. Told that the “borsht?? was a soup, she ordered some, but then reproved the waiter for serving it cold. Explanation smoothed out the situation and Nancy ate the cold soup. The rest of the lunch went off without event. By the time the first day’s work had been finished, Irish Nancy Carroll was actually relishing her Russian role of Tanyusha, appreciating the hospitality she misunderstood on her first appearance at the new studio, and developing a taste for the Russian food served to her at lunch. Ou day of run Lilyan Tashman “Gets Break” From Studio’s Arty Fashion Designer Lilyan Tashman, famous on the screen for the gowns she wears, stated she “got a break” in the costuming for her role as the seductive Russian woman of the world opposite Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. in his latest starring picture for Warner Bros., “Scarlet Dawn,” which is now playing at the Bg ieee ae Theatre. Miss Tashman’s gowns, particularly striking because of the wide =n latitude. given by . the story, were designed by Orry-Kelly, one of the country’s great stylists, now engaged in creating costumes for the stars _ on the Warner-First National lot in Hollywood. The Russian background has been utilized as a motif for the Tashman gowns, without, however, sacrificing the dictates of advance fashion decree. In “Scarlet Dawn,” Lilyan Tashman divides feminine honors with Nancy Carroll, who, as a peasant girl, contrasts markedly with the elaborate gowning of Miss Tashman. The “break,” Miss Tashman says, was having Orry-Kelly design her clothes for “Scarlet Dawn.” It was the first time the great stylist had ever created for Miss Tashman. She said, “I have never before had such striking gowns to wear in any pice t y that am going to keep them for private: use. And I would like to have Orry Kelly design my clothes right along, but they tell mehe is so busy creating costumes for pictures that he can’t take care of any of the stars who want him to design their own clothes.” Gh day of run “Scarlet Dawn” Presents New Directorial Touch A new directorial touch is brought to the screenat tlie... 2 Theatre this week, where “Scarlet Dawn,” the new Warner Bros. picture, co-starring Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. and Nancy Carroll is being shown. William Dieterle, who directed the picture, is certainly developing into one of the most colorful directors in Hollywood, according to patrons of Ei6s. ee Theatre. Dieterle came to America, as an actor, to play in German pictures here. He remained to direct foreign language films, and was then given an opportunity to direct American pictures. In “Searlet Dawn,”. his direction is an outstanding feature of the picture. His unique camera angles, his unusual treatment of situations give an added zest to a story that is abundant in romance and adventure, and mark Dieterle as one of the foremost directors in America today. The picture contains the interesting story of a young Russian nobleman who is exiled by the revolution, and who finally weds his servant girl. It was adapted from the novel, “Revolt,” by Mary McCall, Jr., young Fairbanks aiding in the adaptation. In addition to the two. stars, Lilyan Tashman, Earle Fox, Frank Reicher, Sheila Terry, Betty Gillette, Maurice Black and a host of others appear. “Scarlet Dawn” has been called young Fairbanks’ most pretentious picture, a verdict to which patrons of THOS os Theatre who have ~ seen the screen story, will readily agree. i BRIEF BIOGRAPHIES _ ‘Use these brief biographies as either advance or current build-up for stars and picture.
