2S THE MOVING PICTURE WEEKLY
Another Huge Set Being Erected For ^Foolish 'Wives Production
J-JERE is a picturization of the huge set that is being constructed in Universal City to represent the Casino at Monte Carlo. All the sets that are being constructed under the supervision of Erich Von Stroheim for his production of “Foolish Wives” are of huge dimensions and involve an outlay of thousands of dollars and the employment of hundreds of men.
It will be a source of much delight to numerous movie Jovers throughout the world that Von Stroheim himself will play the principal part in this picture. His acting was a constant source of enjoyment in “Blind Husbands,” which he also directed, and it was no little disappointment to his admirers when he decided not to take part in his second, production, “The Devil’s Passkey,” and devote his entire energies to shaping the tremendous undertaking of the picturization. But in “Foolish Wives” he will have a role that will keep him almost constantly on the screen and bring into use those rare histrionic talents of his
which can fascinate an audience so keenly and make everyone hate him so thoroughly. He will play the role of the seducing count, who conquers the hearts of countless women without being conquered by them; who lives in a whirl of intrigue and scandal and goes undisturbed on his supremely selfish way at last to meet the doom he so richly deserves.
Maude George and Mae Busch again play the roles of continental women — sophisticated and vivacious ladies of fashion, who live to love, who have no scruples and who idle away their time in the gambling resorts of the place, seeking ever the favor of such gallant and unholy fascinators as the Count Sergius Aprazin (Erich Von Stroheim).
The cast of “Foolish Wives” will also be enriched by Marguerite Armstrong, a startlingly beautiful blonde “find” of the director’s, Rudolphe Christians, famous international actor, Cesare Gravina, one-time famous opera singer, Malveen Polo, enchanting daughter of the famous Eddie, and Dale Fuller.
