Entire Cast Is Selected for "Lorna Doone." Film Kxpected to Be Ready for Cutting- In tint 5 or 6 Week. h: AVIN'G completed the prologue and selected the entire cast for the remainder of the story, Maurice Tburneur is making rapid progress with "Lorna Doone," now In its fifth week of production, and expects to have the pcture ready for cutting within the next five or six weeks. - Donald MacDonald, widely known heavy, has been chosen for the role of Carver Doone, one of the most important in thejdrama. Jack Mc Donald, who has appeared in a num ber, of previous Tourneur features and is a leading character player, is cast as Counsellor Doone, while Nor fls Johnson will play Ruth Hucka back, an important feminine role. Other members of the cast previ ously announced are Frank Keenan, Madge Bellamy. John Bowers, Joan Standing, Robert Chandler and Kath leen Lewis. i . Mr. Tourneur is personally direct ing every scene of the production, which, from early indications, will he one of the biggest dramatic features of the season. Startlins action and the thrilling horsemanship of the rob ber band of Doones have predominat ed the scenes already taken, it is said. rractically all of the work to date has been on exteriors, most of the scenes having been filmed in the mountains and isolated sections along the California coast. Because of the nature of the action and the impossibility, of retaking numerous scenes, four, and sometimes more, cameras have been used to film everything except the interiors. Henry Sharp, who photographed Hail the Woman," "Lying Lips" and other Thomas H. Ince specials, is in charge of the cameras. . Upon its" completion, "Lorna Doone" will be edited by Mr. Tourneur and Wyndham Gittens, who has edited several previous Tourneur pictures. No decision has yet been made as to the probable length of the film. The working -continuity calls for suffi cient footage for ten reels and indica tions are that Mr. Tourneur will have a wealrh -r of likely material from which to select.' It is doubtful, how ever, if the production" will he re leased in more htan seven reels, or eight at the most, as a survey of ex hibitor preference now being made by the Tourneur organization points to a length that will not necessitate a revision of the average theater pro gramme. "Lorna Doone" will probably be re leased in the latter part of April. Michael Hohnen. the giant -hero of "The Mistress of the World." has been signed to King, leading baritone roles in the Metropolitan opera ot New York next season.
