GRAND AND LYRIC
“THE IRON MASK” •The Iron Mask,” Douglas Fairbanks’s sequel to “The Three Musketeers.” is now at the Grand and Lyric Theatres. Months of careful preparation were spent in perfecting every detail of the production before starting the actual filming of the picture. Mammoth sets have been built for this great film —exact duplications of the Palace of St. Germain, of the Carmelita Convent, and of French streets and buildings as they appeared in the seventeenth century. Under the personal supervision of M. Maurice Leloir, the world's greatest authority on the customs, manners, and costumes of that period, every phase of the life of the France of that time is reproduced with historical accuracy. In addition to Mr. Fairbanks, several members of the cast are playing the parts they created in the first story of D’Artagnan and his fellows. Marguerite de la Motte is again Constance, the object of D’Artagnan’s devotion. Cardinal Richelieu is being played once more by Nigel de Brulier. Leon Bary lias returned to the part of Athos, Lon Poff to that of P’ather Joseph, and Charles Stevens to Planehet.
