Originally, Mr.. Sherman was signed
for the role Of the villain. MIR. Kane

cast about In vain. All suitable actors
were unavailable, engaged in thor

so Mr.. Sherman was given his trans

Pola's Next.

THREE points at least are said TO
be assured now that it is definite
" set for Poia Negrf to do Hotel
Imperial as her next drama of screen
ardor and amour.
One is that Miss Negri will have
all the latitude she may desire for
the abandon, the wild, thrilling love,
and the emotional storm in which she
excels.
Another Is that this production will
have amazing camera angles. the sort
that have added to the impressiveness
of Variety and Metropolis" for the
supervisor will be Erie Pommer. the
noted German producer, formerly with
UFA, who has to his credit The Cabi-
net Of DIR. Caligari" and THE Last

Third, with Maurice Stiller engaged
to direct, one may look for the
thoroughly continental atmosphere,
environment and technique that are
called for by the tone and locale of the
novel by Roman vAp Ludwig Bire.
According to r. p. Schulberg, asso-
ciate Paramount producer. 1t IL
PLANNED to make Hotel Imperial the
most lavish and powerful picture that
Miss Negri has had since her advent

Sennett's Story Council. -"

WITH a view toward celebrating
upon the preparation of the
story for his Pathe comedy pictures
Mack Sennett has instituted what Is
known as the STORY council in is
studios on the West Coast.
The council comprises the studio
staff writer's. and functions under the
supervision of General Manager John
A. Waldron.
Sennetts idea of having all his
comedy stories written and developed
by the STORY council is in keeping
with his belief in the time.worn adage
that two heads are better than one,
and that when an idea is unanimously
accepted by group of six or eight
it is very likely to be thoroughly de-
veloped.
Mr.. Waldron and his associates will
take an idea submitted by one of the
council and analyze it carefully
Then in turn the various writer's will
suggest points that may improve the
idea and the means for doing 50.
Deliberately being funny is a seri.
Gus business. and occasionally the
STORY council wakes warm, but the
inevitable result of these conferences
are said to be laugh films that are
natural and "crammed full of logically
humorous situations"
The STORY council comprises, in
addition to John A. Waldron.. Arthur
Ripley, Vernon Smith, Grover Jones,
Phil Whitman, Clarence Hennecke.
Harry Mccoy, Randall Fay, Earle
Rodney, Bob Eddie and Garrett
Graham, former studio publicity man..
Mack Sennett explains that when
ever an idea which has been generally
accepted by the council" g0es into
a script it Is sure-f1re.
