Chinese Screen Fantasy

An original photoplay by Gouver-
neur Morris. Chinese fantasy,
'Whims of the Gods" is now nearing
completion at the Goldwyn studios
The picture is declared to be total
ly different from anything ever at
tempted before on the screen.
. The story is that told to his young
son by a Chinese father, who has
come to America to find the maiden he
loved in the old world. The pictured
story, however. is not as the father
remembers 1t, but as the son imagines
it from his fathers narrative
'Whims of the Gods" is sheer imag-
tasy. The very names of the char
acters are indicative of the fanciful
nature of the photoplay. What Ho is
the father, Ting-a-Ling the mother
and then there are Go Hang, Mr..
Wing, Mrs Wing and others.
The sets devised for "Whims of the
Gods" as fantastic as the tale itself,
were designed by Cedric Gibbons.
Goldwyn's art director. and executed
under his personal direction.
The role of What Ho. the cook. is
played by Jack Able, the young Jap

Fame and the Unknown

THE rule that phenomenal success
in literary work cannot be
achieved by a writer previously un-
known to fame. is reversed in the
case Of J. P. Marquand. the twenty
eight year-old author of the 1.-The
Right That Failed" which not only
was Mr.. MarQuaud's first attempt at
story writing but which was ac-
cepted by one of the leading maga-
zines. despite the authors lack of
reputation.
The story and its author arouse
additional interest by reason of the
fact that as soon as the story ap-
peared in the Saturday Evening Post
the Metro picture corporation made
bid for the screen rights and bought
them. The picture. following the
natural course Of events, has reached
Washington.
Marquand. it is claimed, started
writing fiction last July. At that
time he had $500. saved from his
earnings as an advertising writer.
