veloper of the worlds greatest screen
stars, has produced another wonder

which is heralded everywher gkiq ng
which is being heralded everywhere
as creation of exquisite beauty,
haunting charm and spirited drama
United Artists Corporation recently

Among the players in this unusual
ly dramatic love story of the South
Sea Islands are none other than Rich
ard Barthelmess, Carol Dempster,
George MacQuarrie, Anders Randolph,
Florence Short, Crawford Kent,
Adolphe Lestina, William James and
Jack Manning
The one most important thing in
casting is the securing of players
whose facial expressions can possibly
emphasize the characteristics of the
parts. No one in the entire motion
picture field could have been better
for the part of Bruce Sanders, a
wealthy young plantation owner, than
Mr.. Barthelmess, for his very being
just typifies the very thing that Mr.
Griffith portrays throughout the en-
tire production and with his world OF
experience, Mr.. Barthelmess gives the
character a particularly Intelligent
