ment for the photoplay feature.
The Vitaphone is exclusively re-
leased to Crandalrs Metropolitan The

prominent stars and directors
have announced their intention to

It is called Cabaret" and when II is

Miss Swansons footsteps into the

James CruZe, director of THE
Covered Wagon" "Old Ironsides" and
many other successes, has also decided
to serve notice. He, too, will become
his own master.
Other celebrated directors who have
quilted the Lasky menage are d. w.
Griffith, Alan Dwan, Raoul Walsh
Frank Lloyd, Cecil B. De Mile and
Eric Pommer. There are rumors that
Herbert Brenon, Raymond Griffith,
