“GLORIOUS BETSY”

Conrad Nagel, too, will charm the feminine hearts in the audience as the dashing, debonair Jerome Bonaparte. Among the tense scenes is one which shows the reception given for Jerome Bonaparte in the Patterson home in Baltimore. The ladies are in glittering gowns, the men in bright dress uniforms. More than 300 extras took part in this scene. Another scene of startling beauty is that of Dolores Costello and Conrad Nagel in the garden of the Patterson home.
