MILLION DOLLAR PICTURE, “HELL’S ANGELS”
A picture costing more titan a million dollars is a supreme rarity this seaon (says Picture Play). lherc only one that we know of, which exceeds that sum, find it is “Hell’s Angels.” Ben Lyon is the hero, and Greta Nissen the heroine. There is an interesting story behind this picture, for the chap who is making it is reputed very wealthy. He only ventuied into the films about a year or so ago, and the first production with which he was concerned was “Two Arabian Knights” —one of the best money-makers of the year. The chap ’s name is Howard Hughes, and he is apparently due to become very active in the picture game. He has produced one Thomas Meighan starring feature, called “The Racket,” and is to make another, “The Mating Call,” from the Rex Beach novel. “Hell’s Angels” discloses his biggest investment, for it is said to run close to 2,000,000 dollars in cost. This picture is coming to the Grand shortly.
The story of a lad who played sheriff. A tale to make you rock with laughter and chuckle hours after. Funny enough to make a horse laugh.
