The story of “The Lily of Killarney,” the latest British International picture, is based on the well known opera, w’hich in turn is adapted from the story play “Colleen Bawn” by the well known actor now touring New Zealand, Dion Boucicault. Pamela Parr plays the leading female role, supported by two well known legitimate stage actors, Cecil Landeau and Dennis Wyndham. The natural and beautiful landscapes of Western Ireland are a strong feature of this production, which will be released shortly throughout New Zealand by Cinema Art Films. ♦*“ * # The task of handling 1,000 natives in the almost unknown regions of the British Soudan would be a formidable one at any time, but it was found doubly so by Marian Cooper and Ernest Shoedsack, who schooled vast crowds of Dervishes to act for motion pictures. Many mob scenes were filmed in Africa by the two adventurers for 44 The Four Feathers,” their latest Paramount production, which is based on the famous story by A. E. W. Mason.
