„Special Keystone comedies”

Editorial content. „Keystone Four Reelers Coming

      Marie Dressler, America‘s leading comedienne, will be seen

soon in a series of special Keystone comedies,

three and four reels in length. Work of production has been

going on for some time under the direction of Mack

Sennett, head producer of Keystone films, and the comedies

featuring Marie Dressler will begin to appear before the

public by the first of July.

      This became known upon the return of Charles O. Baumann,

vice-president of the New York Motion Picture Corporation,

from the producing studios of that company near Los Angeles,

Cal., where he has just spent two months in consummating

several important business deals.

      Miss Dressler was last seen on the speaking stage

in Tillie‘s Nightmare. Her advent in motion pictures means the

first appearance on the screen of America‘s funniest

woman. As she will work under the personal direction of Mack

Sennett, the famous comedy director, she will be seen

to the best advantage. Mr. Baumann also announced that the

New York Motion Picture Corporation is producing

special feature pictures, four, five and six reel long. These will

soon be released through the Continental Feature Film

Corporation, which handles the special features produced

by the Mutual‘s affiliated firms. The first of these will be

a five part feature, The Wrath of the Gods with the Japanese

actress Tsuru Aoki in a leading role. In this picture a whole

Japanese village is destroyed by the volcano Sakura-Jima.

Another will be a multiple reel production of The Typhoon, the

play in which Walter Whiteside starred on the speaking

stage. Charles Swicard‘s version will be used. Miss Tsuru

Aoki will also play in this picture.“
