of Washington, D. C-, debu-
tante and popular member of
the capital’s yoyngetset,
Cowl’s stage
3 for 3 days.
When Miss Moore and John Mc-
Cormick, who produces her pictures,
read the (play manuscript of "Lilac
Time,” they both knew Instantly it
was the story of which they had
dreamed, but hardly dared hope to
And.
Its spirit of youth, its tenderness
and its glowing romance gripped them
as no other story had ever done, and
McCormick immediately opened neg-
otiations with Miss Cowl and Jane
Murfin, co-authors of the play. The
screen rights were purchased and
Willis'Goldbeck assigned to adapt the
story for motion (picture production,
with Carey. Wilson preparing the
script.
"Lilac Time” is a George Fitz-
Maurice production for First National
Pictures, and tells of the romance of
a little French girl and a reckless,
young British war aviator. In the
opinion of critics, it more than just-
ifies the [iYoducer's judgment and the
many months spent in Aiming it.
Gary Cooper, hero of ‘’Beau Sabreur”
"The Legion of the Condemned" and
other pictures, appears in the chief
supporting role. Other players include
Burr McIntosh, George Cooper, Cleve
Moore. Kathryn McGuire, pugene Bes-
serer, Emile Chautard, Jack Stone and
Edward Dillon.
