But now it has become the accepted thing with motion pic ture audiences. F iroducers in their efforts to make :i higher class of pictures have seen the necessity of selecting the best players available. Charles Braibin, in his production of Elinor Glj’n’s sensational story. “Six Days,” coming to the Rylander Theatre next Thursday ana Friday spent more th;n a month in choos ing players for the cast. Corinne Griff ith and Frank Mayo, who head the brilliant list, have long been stars in their own right. Mayo started pictures in 1912, playing the leading role in a picture produc ed in England. Corinne Griffith made her bow to the screen in 1917, when she played the feminine lead in a picture called “Bitter Sweet.” The remainder of the cast consists of a number of the best-known and experienced players in motion pic tures. Myrtle Stedman qualified as a gifted actress in 19>12, and for several years was starred in three reek features. Maude 'George, whose ability as a dramatic, actress was never more evident than in the in terpretation of one of the leading roles in von Stroheim’s “Foolish Wives,” has an important part in ‘‘Six Days.” Spottiswoode Aitken and Charles Clary have appeared in pictures since 1910. Claude Kfing ah s had less picture experience, but has a long and dis tinguished stage career. He first came to this country from England in 1919 to play opposite Ethel Barrymore in “Declasse.” He made his debut before the camera with Pola Negri in her first phootoplay filmed in America. King is ad mirably suited to the role he poi trays in “Six Days.” Lots of people ought to be glad they are anywhere.
