"Sutter's Gold" has been more than one year in preparation and with the assignment of Mr. Cruze as its director it will go before the cameras within a fortnight. Meanwhile Mr. Cruze has joined Mr. Laemmle in a search for the actor to play the role of Sutter, a part so outstanding that it is expected to make whoever is awarded the opportunity a full fledged star as "Diamond Jim" has done for Edward Arnold.

The Universal casling department has reviewed more than 150 screen tests and made more than 50 studio tests of persons suggested for the dominant role.
