“ANNIE LAURIE”
EPIC OF THE HIGHLANDS The spectacular custom of carrying the fiery cross from clan to clan, as ;t summons to battle, and the lighting of beacons on mountains to alarm the Highland hordes, form some of the spectacular details of the latest historical romance of the screen. “Annie Laurie.” The new spectacle, based on history and laid about the massacre at Glencoe, is the most striking Lillian Gish production in years. She plays the Scottish heroine, whose marriage into an enemy clan, changed the course of Scottish history. Norman Kerry plays the leading male' role, and Hobart Bosworth, Creighton Hale. Brandon Hurst, and other notable players, as well as several thousand people in battle scenes, are seen.
Fred Thomson, Paramount star, has secured a stable-mate for Silver King, the horse he has used in his pictures during the past few years. The new steed is of Arabian stock, pure white, and has the same extraordinary eyes for which Silver King is noted. P'red Thomson is now filming his latest picture, “Kit Carson.”
