Will Film Wreck of
Hesperus.

"THE Wreck of the Hesperus,"
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's
ballad OF the sea, is to be brought TO
the screen from the De Mile studio.
Harry Carr and John Farrow have
written a scenario based upon the
dramatic story of the poem, and Elmer
Clifton has been secured to direct the
production. Clifton is peculiarly quail
fed for this task, as he directed Down
TO the Sea in Ships" which has been
called the greatest sea epic of the
films.
The Wreck of the Hesperus" will
mark the eleVatian of Virginia Brad
ford and Frank Marion, two of the
youngest members of the De Mile
stock company, to high ranks. These
TWO youngsters, who only a few
months ago were playing extra parts,
displayed such promise in THE Coun-
Try Doctor" that De Mile picked them
as interesting star material. Long
term contracts and the featured roles
IN the Clifton picture followed.

Does Not Lampoon
Barrymores.

A RUMOR that for a time threat
ened to upset the calm of one of
our first theatrical families has been
scotched.
Close on the announcement that
Jed Harris, the youthful sponsor of
Broadway" was to produce The
Royal Family" by George Kaufman
and Edna Ferber, came the insinua-
ton that the play was to be a cartoon
of the professional and private life of
the BarrymOres.
Mr.. Kaufman was quick to deny
this. The play deals with three gen
erations of theatrical family and its
text concerns the Barrymores no more
than it does the Cohans. the Mortons,
the Hannefords, the Toys. or the Fair
banks Sisters.
