Sloan, son of wealthy manufacturer
who, with his family, is guest Of
the hotel. m Es
Fully three-fourths of the action
of the story takes place on various
days between the hours of midnight
and morning, in the lobby, corridors
and rooms Of high class hotel. For
realism Miss Lois Weber, director of
the production, rented the Hotel
Alexandra, Los Angles. To avoid
the interference of crowds of curious
guests 1t was necessary for the many
scenes in and about the corridors
and rooms TO be taken after mid
night, when more than occasional in
terruptions by ibelated sightseers
would be improbable. And SO, be-
cause of natural conditions, "A Mid
night Romance" has the added
quality of the realism of : actually
having been made at midnight.
