Beban Busy Again After eight months of hard work while hidden away in the Maine woods, George Beban has finally completed the scenario of his latest picture and is now at his studios in Hollywood, putting the finishing touches to what promises to revolutionize the motion picture world. His original*idea of combining the silent and the spoken drama will, of course, be retained, but upon such a massive scale that it will require some months before the produo tion is'completed. Neither the exact idea or plot has been disclosed, but it will be such a novelty as to cause astonishment on the part of theatergoers. The picture will be known as “The Loves of Riccardo ”
Julia Hoyt is one of the leaders of New York society and has been prominent on the stage, while Lynn Fontanne created the stage role of “Dulcy,” and with her husband, Alfred Lund, is now playing in “The Guardsman,” the Ferenc Molnar play. In "The Man Who Found Himself,” Meighan takes the part of a happy-go-lucky son of a rich smalltown banker, much looked-up to in the community. When the bank smashes Meighan’s kin become criminally liable to the state. Rather than see his father go to jail, Tom assumes the responsibility and is sent to Sing Sing. “Hot Sheiks” is the comedy. A. news weekly will also be included on| the bill.
