Perfection in casting players for the portrayal of historical characters has been reached, the Warner Brothers believe, in the choice of actors for “The Heart of Maryland,” now in production with Dolores Costello as the star. Following a search of several months, Warners state that they have found an ideal trio of character actors to bring to the screen the three great Civil War celebrities, Abraham Lincoln, Robert E. Lee and Ulysses S. Grant. The likeness of these players to these famous personages is practically flawless. Their beards and hair are their own, their features and statures almost exact, and they are each within a few years of the age the celebrities had attained at the time of the Civil War.
