of players ever called together for
a Marshall Neilau picture Is an
nounced tor Neilan's latest First
National feature attraction, "Cits

Bowers. Harriett Hammond. Uock-
ellffe Fellowes, Anna May Wong,
Teddy Sampson, James Neil, Fred
erick Burton, Edytfce Chapman
and Dorothy Mackail.
And "Bits of Lite" is a decided
novelty in the way of motion pic
ture entertainment, inasmuch a
H presents four separate and dU
tinct stories, which are combined
in such a way that the same
strong dramatic them runs
through the entire production.
The first episode presents "The
Had Samaritan," a story by Thom
as McMorrow, which was publish
ed in the Popular Magazine. The
s-coud story is a film version of
"The Man Who Heard Every
thing," by Walter Trumbull,
which appeared In Smart Set. The
third episode is a picturization of
the Saturday Evening Post story,
"Hop," by Hugh Wiley. And the
lourtti is Marshall Neilan s own s
original story "The Strange Ad
venture."
Some of the scene for "Bits of
Life" were taken In New York,
while others were filmed on the
Pacific coast. The finished result
is distinctly unique.
