HUGO BALLIN PRODUCTIONS, INC. Hugo Ballin, President George S. Hellman, Secy, and Treas. First Production The Honourable Gentleman by Achmed Abdullah With a very notable cast, including Rockliffe Fellowes, Mabel Ballin, Togo Yamamoto and Nellie Fillmore The Honourable Gentleman by an author whose plays have been purchased by Belasco, Leo Ditrichstein, et a/, is the first work of Abdullah's presented on the screen. The Honourable Gentleman originally published in "The Pictorial Review," headed the list of great short stories of the year, in the review printed in the "New York Evening Post." The Honourable Gentleman is considered by numerous critics as the greatest work of fiction by one of the most widely read of presentday authors. The Honourable Gentleman treats a theme, wherein love and happiness are involved with blindness — a theme used by Victor Hugo; by the Englishman, W. J. Locke; by the German, d'Albert; by the great Frenchman, Clemenceau; in stories, plays and operas. But how differently does Abdullah, the Oriental born in Afghanistan, treat this theme! With what dramatic sense and subtle knowledge of the custom and psychology of the East, intermingling with the life of New York !
