ESTHER RALSTON IN “HALF A BRIDE.”
In 44 Half a Bride,” which will show at the Municipal Pictures this evening, Miss Ralston and Gary Cooper, who plays the leading male role, are washed ashore on a deserted island off the western Canadian coast. Long, highly polished nails could not possibly endure in real life during weeks of hand to hand struggles with nature and so the nails were cut in such a way as to appear to have been torn by hard, manusual labour. This is only one of the details which were carefully observed by Director Gregory La Cava in filming “Half a Bride.” Cooper was required to go without shaving for two weeks in order that his beard would look the part required and clothes for Miss Ralston were rudely fashioned from bits of sail cloth.
The story was adapted for the screen from the Saturday Evening Post story, 4 -White Hands,’’ by Arthur Stringer.
