Chevalier's First Picture

MAURICE CHEvALIER, who is con-
1V1 sidered the most magnetic per-
sonality on the European stage. Will ar
rive In Hollywood early In October TO
make his first American picture, which
will have vocal and musical accom-
paniment.
Chevalier, who was signed to con-
tract by Jesse L. Lasky when the Para
mount offlcial was abroad In June. will

personal friend of Chevalier and one
of the most successful OF the younger
school of directors. D'Arrast was re-
sponsible for Adolphe Menjou's recent
"A Gentlemen of Paris" Service for
, Ladies'" and "Serenade," and he d.
rected Florence Vidor in THE Magni-
ficant Flirt."

lent for sound Aim reproduction, and

and English The story is to have q
French background, but will be one
that has an international appeal. Pro-

Mary Pickford to Make
All-Talkine Picture

MARY PICKFORD will make an all
4VA talking picture. She has pur-
chased "Couquette," the play that is
now having a run in New York.
Miss Pickford was an experienced
stage actress before going to the screen
and therefore one of the few screen
stars with background Of stage
drama. In recent tryouts the "talkie"
experts found her voice better suited to
the new medium than other feminine
voices tested before their microphones.
"Coquette'' will be directed by Sam
Taylor, who, in collaboration with
Johnny Gray and Allan Mcneil, has
developed an entirely new technique
that will be applied for the first time to
the production of sound picture.
Heretofore says Taylor, talking
pictures have been mere silent drama
with voice added. The technique mas
been that of the regular movie. We
believe that the successful talking pic
ture will be more nearly comparable TO
the stage drama, and we are employing
technique that takes fuller advantage
of speech than has yet been done.
Production of the new Pickford MIN
| will begin Immediately.

Germany $ Favorite
DAUL RICHTER, sale

DAUL RICHTER, said to be the most
L popular leading man in Germany,
seems fated in his screen career to play
only classical heroes. Thus, In "S!eg-
fried" in which he enacted the title
role, he was semi-god from the Nibel-
ungen Saga, and In Peter the Corsair"
he plays the heroic leader of band OF
medieval buccaneers.
This situation has arisen principally
because Richter's splendid physique and
classical features have fitted him to
represent the giants of yesteryear.
Known as an athlete before his adj
vent to the screen, Richter won many
prizes for his formidable strength. And
his valor in other lines is well vouched
for when 1t Is known that he ran away
from school when a mere child. and
fought his way in the world alone dur,
ing his youth.
