“THE BATTLE OF THE SEXES”
David Wark Griffith, whose “Drums of Love’* comes to New Zealand soon, has begun camera work in Hollywood on his newest United Artists Picture, “The Battle of the Sexes.” The very first scene in the picture was filmed this week in the barber shop of the Ambassador Hotel of Los Angeles. That was the only “location” jaunt for the Griffith Company, which includes Jean Hersholt. Phyllis Haver, Belle Bennett and Sally O’Neill. “The Battle of the Sexes” is described as a realistic presntation of the theme of family discord and infidelity. The father (Jean Hersholt) deserts his comfortable, middle-class home for a flapper and gold digger (Miss Haver), and a reconciliation between the father and mother (Belle Bennett) is brought about by the sweet, home-loving daughter (Sally O’Neill). Fifteen years ago Griffith made a four-reel version of the same theme.
