The Majestic announces the coming on Sunday
September 25th of Cecil b. DeMlle's long awaited
production, "The Affairs of Anato'
This is the same film production that first caught
the attention of motion picture fans, more than year
ago, when it stated that cast of ALL STARS
would be engaged to enact the characters AT the
time of the first report of the making of DeMes new
play, the magnitude of the production apparent
yet little did even the most discerning theater patron
know of the mighness Of the production until it
learned that WALLACE REID, GLORIA SWANSON,
BEBE DANIELS, WANDA HAWLEY, AGNES
AYRES, MONTE BLUE, ELLIOTT DEXTER, THE
ODORE ROBERTS, POLLY MORAN, JULIA FAYE,
THEODORE KOSLOFF and RAYMOND HATTON
the players selected for the rendition of Arthur
Schnitzer's story-"The Affairs of Anatol"
Newspapers in America, Canada and in Europe
have devoted columns of space in commenting on
Paramounts latest production. Photoplay magazines
have printed pictures of the players and of the
they have told of the great amount of spent
the play 4 whole of its avshness and of the many
months of tireess effort the part of the producer
and director to make "The Affairs of AnatoP the
of perturbation Never before in the history of
motion pictures has a photoplay received such vast
amount of advance publicity.
All this has caused the public to conjure up in their
mind picture play of the unrea-the impossible. 1t
is frankly stated by the Majestic management that,
after viewing the picture, is indeed great presen-
tation unusual photopay yet, after all is said and
done, it is but comedy drama of married life, mag
nifcenty lavish and the includes the great array
OF stars mentioned. 1t gives each of the stars un-
bounded opportunity to portray character best suited
to his her talents character that made possible
their ascendancy to stardom.
This statement by the management deals with
facts. That is just why we head it "Sans Bunk" We
don't want our patrons to come to the Majestic
week expecting to witness something miraculous or
mysterious. For it is mott is but play built by
Cecil B. DeMille who is Justly celebrated for his mod
cling OF screen productions of marriage and its prob
lems
Patrons will see their favorte stars parade before
them in characters that will delight. They will witness
scene after of bewtchng and dazzling splendor
rich and rare tnting.
The presentation of "The Affairs of Anatol" in
Tulsa is made possible only after the payment of the
price be estimated when is stated that only 2l
theaters in America, outlined in this weeks Satr-
day Evening Post, could believe it good business to
pay for this production for simultaneous showing the
first week OF its release.
Each of these theaters must of necessity announce
an increase in price of admission otherwise the en-
gagement must prove financial loss.
In conclusion desire to say that 'The Affairs of
Anatol" is not spectacular es The Birth Of a
Nation not as mighty in theme as "The Four Horse
men OF the Apocalypse, has not the heart appeal of
The Old Nest" nor has it the thrilling ending of
Way Down East" BUT 1T HAS ALL THE LAVISH
NESS THAT CAN BE PUT INTO A PRODUCTION.
IHE AKLFUL BLENDING OF STORY THE
and DlRECTED BY THAT GENIUS-CECIL B.
DEMILLE.
