Mr. Newman, who ha not appeared on the speaking stage for several years, is playing the principal rola, and unlike the part ha portrays, ha la not trying to profiteer on the honors of the act He has engaged as his suoport two very pretty and clever young women, both with Broadway reputations, who share honors equally with, himself.

If the story includes such a character it will be the first time done in pictures from a comedy angle. Miss Clifford's most recent picture appearance was In "Kick In," the George Fitzmaurlce production in Paramount'a program.

Prior to that she played in many other feature productions after a varied career on the atage, which included vaudeville, Ziegfeld revues and starring in her own legitimate productions.
