f"fhg River's End’ Will Be Fea
“fured in Atlanta House
: Next Week,
Marshall Neilan will make his de
but as an independent producer next
week, when hig first offering, “The
Rivers’ End,” adapted from the
book by James Oliver Curwood, is
shown for the first time at the Cris
pifrion Theater. -
In selecting “The River’'s End”
Mr. Neilan has obtained one of the
great successes of the book world.
Critics have declared this novel Mr.
Curwood’s best achievement. Two
months after the book came out its
sale exceeded by 60,000 copies the
total sale of any previous Curwood
work.
Mr. Curwood’s story tells of the
Royal Mounted Police, a tale of ad
venture and romance amidst the
great Northwest. Unlike many oth
er writers, Mr. Curwood lives the
g&(g he tells about. All his time is
spent close to the heart of nature,
where he has an opportunity to
study the characters he portrays so
well. “The River’s End” is thus
considered to be the most genuine
piece of fiction told by one thorough
-2‘ acquainted with the atmosphere
f the theme, and in a manner pos
sible only by Mr. Curwood.
In portraying the story on the
screen, Mr. Neilan has closely fol
lowed the book. An indication of
his success in thus picturizing the
story was had last Monday night at
the Biltmore, when the picture had
its premiere before a thousand mem
bers of the Canadian Club and was
accorded one of the most enthusias
tic ovations ever given a photoplay.
Although one of the youngest di
rectors of motion pictures, Marshall
Neilan is one of the foremost. Born
An California in 1891 and educated in
?Sixe public schools of Loos Angeles, he
“¥as not yet twenty years old when h
joined a San Francisco stock com
pany as “extra man.” He soon drift
ed into pictures and played leads for
such companies as Kalem, Universal,
Selig, American and Famous Play
ers. As a leading man for Mary
Pickford, Marguerite Clark, Blanche
Sweet and other famous stars he at
tracted considerable attention. |
As a director some of Mr. Neilan's
most famous productions are “In Old@
Kentucky,” “Daddy Long Legs,” with
Mary Pickford; “The Unpardonable
\ Bin,” “Mice and Men,” “The Silent
Partner,” “The Country Boy” and
other famous screen successes.
In discussing “The River's End,”
Mr. Neilan said:
“In Mr. Curwood’s story of the
Canadian Northwest I had a wonder-‘
ful opportunity for a motion picture
achievement. After reading the book
I could _readily understand why it is
. one of the biggest selling stories ot
_‘ the day.
“My attention was first attracted
to the story when I read the won
derful book reviews and particularly
when I read various predictions by
these reviewers that this novel would
make an ideal film subject. I found!
keen competition in bidding for the
story, in that practically every fflm{
producer had the same idea in mind.
When I succeeded in closing for tho\
motion picture rights I considered!
myself extremely fortunate, and if
four months of time, the combined
efforts of one of the best producing
organizations in filmdom, the use of
every modern facility for motion ple
ture taking and the best work of an
. exceptional company of players are
Andicative of good results, this film
should prove a universal success. ;

Georgia Grain Output
.
Still Is Far Short
SAVANNAH, Ga., March 18.—“The
grain production in Georgia is still
far short of the home consumption,
not to mention the demand outslae
the State, despite enormous increase
in acreage,” said K. B. Seeds of At-
Janta, district grain supervisor of the
bureau of markets, United States de
partmentof agriculture, here Tuesday.
Mr. Seeds said Georgia must grow
more grain to feed her stock if she‘
would realize the most from the new
{ndustry. He said that Georgla's
largest increase has been in the pro
duction of corn, but that the State
imports from 8,000,000 to 10,000,000
bushels of oats annually.
