| Spe nnn NC
FTER a hundred or more stories suitable for screen production were submitted to Ax us by the foremost authors of America, we selected the script of a young writer, Willard King Bradley, as the most original in the batch, and the most original we had seen in years. The story, dealing with the Gargantuan question of Motherhood, demanded the finest-artistic talent procurable. Frank Reicher, responsible for many Paramount and Metro successes, was chosen to direct ‘‘Empty Arms,’’ because we figured that he alone could handle a great number of its exceedingly difficult scenes, the majority of which were at once intensely dramatic and unusually delicate. Mr. Reicher immediately surrounded himself with the foremost technicians. Gail Kane, famous star of screen and stage, who had just closed in the Broadway success, ‘‘The Woman in Room 13,” was signed to star; then a powerful cast, including Thurston Hall, J. Herbert Frank and other well-known screen celebrities, was engaged to support her. The picture was made; and, as we watched its progress, we believed that we had a master production. But we were not content to rest on our own judgment. We called in that famous editorial writer, Dr. Frank Crane, who contributed his unique services to the thought side of the picture.
It is the easiest thing inthe world for a producer to deal in twelve-cylinder adjectives, and to megaphone it from the housetops that his picture is supreme. We are so confident of the success of ‘‘Empty Arms’’ that we are more than willing to simply place it in the hands of the buyers and exchange men, and let the screen do the talking. Weare so certain that they will say that we have underestimated it, that we will stake our future success on it! Which is saying volumes.
