OPERA HOUSE. ‘‘The Wanderer,” a famous Biblical stage spectacle recently dramatised otr the screen by Paramount has establish-, ed what it is said to be, a new record for size and beauty of motion picture Sets. Like a series of paintings by a master hand, each scene -was made pictorially perfect. To gain this desired effect required months of work—not only in the actual production of the picture but in its preparation. Each scene was written with the thought of beauty always in mind and each was filmed so that it would balance and blend with the rest. Even the thousands of costumes in the mob scenes for the picture were made chiefly with a view towards the pictorial effects obtained from them. Raoul Walsh, who directed, has a reputation of being one of the few directors in the industrypossessing the ability to film beautiful settings and at the same time retain the spirit of the story. He made “The Thief of Bagdad.” The featured cast in “The Wanderer” includes Ernest Torrence, William Co’lier, junr., Watlace Beery, Tyrone Power, Greta Nissen, Kathlyn W'Hiams, Kathryn Hill, George Bigas an.' Holmes qorbert. Big supporting bill. r :..x plan at Henderson ’s..
