New Romantic Team

NEW romantic screen team will share the acting honours when Constance Bennett and Herbert Marshall appear in the two principal roles of “Outcast Lady.” Though this is the first attraction in which the blonde screen beauty and the suave English leading man have been seen together, those who have viewed the picture predict that their success will result in their being brought together for additional productions. The ultra-modern, smart, poised woman of the world as portrayed by Miss Bennett blends so well with the sauve, sophisticated, polished manner of the personalities created for the screen by Marshall that their future co-starring seems inevitable to those interested in the production of motion pictures. While as a romantic team these two differ radically from any other combination of screen lovers, numerous critics have vouched the opinion that their public popularity will rival such teams as the celebrated Garbo-Gilbert, CrawfordGable, Gaynor-Farrell combinations. The supporting cast of “Outcast Lady” includes Elizabeth Allan, Mrs. Patrick Campbell, Hugh Williams, Henry Ste- 1 phenson, Lumsden Hare, Leo Carroll and Alec B. Francis. “Our Daily Bread” A NEW Tom Keene makes his screen * debut in “Our Daily Bread,” the King Vidor production to be released shortly by United Artists. Until a year ago Keene was starring in “Westerns,” known to the industry as “horse operas.” As he was just the type Vidor had in mind for the lead in “Our Daily Bread.” which he was then writing, he urged Keene to go East' and get some, experience on the legitimate stage. The young man did, playing some fifty roles in “stock.” Returning to Hollywood he won the’ coveted part; and now Vidor predicts a great film future for him in dramatic work. In “Our Daily Bread” he plays a discouraged eity chap who. with his young wife, played by Karen Morley, returns to the land to begin life all over again on an abandoned farm. “Betty in Mayfair” of Winfred Shotter will be glad to know ” that they will shortly have another opportunity of Seeing this charming and popular artist in “Betty in Mayfair,” a refreshing. typically British story which Norman Walker has just completed at the British and Dominions Studio. This will be her first starring part since “The Love Contract.” “Betty in Mayfair” is adapted from the popular stage play “Lilies of the Field.” Playing with Winifred Shotter are Ellis Jeffreys and Anthony Bushell. Picturegoers will be glad to see Busliell in this starring part, which it is anticipated will provide him with wider scope than his former roles.

“Recipe for Murder," a murder mystery tale, has been purchased by Fox Film as a starring vehicle for Edmund Lowe. Edmund Lowe's latest picture was “East River,” which will be released shortly.
