Robert Brunton expended approx
mately $4,000 and introduced some
decidedly new and unique technical
methods.
The script for the new feature
called for n number OF scenes at the
elaborate country estate of n New
York millionaire. The Brunton tech
nical director considered IL no trick
to build a palatial mansion, but was
palpably puzzled at the idea of COW
ering it with snow and ice. Finally
Mr.. Brunton suggested that the set
be built near the summit OF Mt.
Baldy,, Sierra peak not far from
Los Angeles, which Is snow-clad

/ Accordingly timber. marble blocks,
bricks, and mortar were carried on
mule-back seven thousand feet to tho

stand for several days until a storm

The photoplay attraction OF chief
interest at Loew's Palace Theater be-
ginning tomorrow-"The Man Who
Lost Himself"-is OF particular photo
play Importance by reason Of the fact
that 1t brings out OF retirement none
other than William Faversham. the
eminet and distinguished dramatic
star, whose fame Is international and
whose art knows no boundaries.
Mr.. Faversham assumes the dual
role of two men of Identical physical
resemblance, one of them an Ameri-
can, the other an English nobleman.
The Washington times., 1920-06-12

The role is one OF infinite appeal
that finds in its milieu occasion for
the depletion of a variety of strong
emotions which are registered with
rare discretion and art.
In the opposite part OF Rafael
Artega, Bertram Grassby affords a
study in despicable duplicity that
stamps him as an actor of exceptional
interpretative power.
A host OF others whose participa-
tion in the various brilliant scenes OF
the drama adds much to the effective
ness OF the picture maintain the high
standard of acting for which the ex-
traordinary ensemble is notable.

The picture is declared to be one OF
the most dramatically powerful and
artistically produced offerings of the
wear, and superior in every way to
Mr.. Bosworth's previous production,
Behind the Door," although the lat
ter is still considered one of the
greatest stories and character depic-
tions Of the season.
{ Infinite care, lavish expense and a
wonderful cast and story make the
production quite unlike any previous
Offering OF the year. With his Gus
tomary artistry, he has injected in the
picture numerous phases of New Eng
land village life which have until now
been overlooked by ordinary pro-
ducers
The submarine scenes with which
the picture abounds are stated to be
N OF only the most realistic which up
,to-date photography Is capable OF
presenting, but also the finest of the
kind ever obtained.
Hobart Bosworth, in the role OF a
brave, resourceful, deep-sea diver,
gives a character delineation which
surpasses his work even In THE Sea

him, the Juvenile lead being played
exceptionally well by Lloyd Hughes,
