itate.
By early fall thing will be hitting at full Llart out there,
t id predicted.
At leant, there will be an abundance of appealing pro
duction ready for release when the big season opens, a
resume of pictures now under way discloses.
Then there are a few trite announcements that appear
toward some new changes in the producing end of the in
dustry. Nita Naldi is a new find. She has signed a five-year
contract with Paramount to play as leading lady. Her
first vehicle will be "Blood and Sand," in which she plays i
opposite Valentino. j
After discovering Marylvn Miller to play a permanent!
role as his wife, Jack Piokford puts himself before the public i

"finds" for important parts in his next picture, "Garrison's
Finish." They are Dorothy Marines ami Audrey Chapman.
Ah note this:
Douglas Fairbanks may abandon the role of actor after
he finishes "Pvobin Hood," another announcement states. He
is planning to become a producer, his first directing vehicle
to be "The Virginian," in which he will not take a part, it
is said.
Then again Charlie Chaplin is almost through with his
current comedy and also First National. His next picture will
be for United Artists.
The American Releasing corporation a comparatively
new concern has signed up for the distribution of a noted
array of stars and big pictures.. What figure this company
intends to cut in the film world may be gathered from the
announcement that such stars as George Beban, Marguerite
de la Motte. Pat O'Malley. Jane Novak, Betty Blythe and
numerous character luminaries will make pictures for the
firm. "Queen of the Moulin Rouge," "The Deer Slayer" and
George Beban In "The Sign of the Rose," are a few of the
big productions to be released by the American Releasing
corporation.
First National is ready to spring a series of famous pro

her sister, with John Davidson, dark,
exotic villain of "Fool's Paradise," to
stir up trouble! These are the ele
ments of drama of which there is
plenty in "The Woman Who Walked
Alone," the cinema attraction at the
Strand theater this week.
This picture is one which carries
you from London drawing rooms to
the South African veldt, and involves
the central character, Iris Champneys,
in a succession of dramatic situa

down as one of Miss Dalton's most
appealing portrayals.
Milton Sills is the leading man,
iand the support includes Charles

his real identity, he arouses the love

conflict is finally terminated, after a
pursuit across the Pacific and she
and her lover are, reunited.
