The story is described as a realistic love drama and it has three male characters. Frank Lloyd, director of “Oliver Twist” and “The Sea Hawk,” will direct the new* Barrymore picture, which will be the star’s second independent production for United Artists. It was Mr. Lloyd who directed Norma Talmadge in “Ashes of Vengeance” and Corinne Griffith in “Black Oxen.”
