Show I "ASHES OF VENGEANCE" I t I Four hum'd horsoa and armed j riders were used in the set reproduc- I ing medieval Paris for Norma Tal- madge's spectacular historic ro- t mance, "Ashes of Vengeancs," a I First National picture to be presented present-ed at the Star theater Wednesday and Thursday. These scenes, in which hired foreign for-eign troops were sent through the streets of Paris by Charles IX to run down and slay those whom he believed to be his enemies, were reproduced re-produced with the greatest realism under Lloyd's direction. A number of extras were hurt when the horses came galloping through the streets, trampling the bodies of those stricken down by their riders. However, there were no very serious mishaps. A whole quarter of Ifith century Paris was built, under the direction of Stephen Goosson, famous screen architect, for these scenes. "Ashes of Vengeance" is a Joseph M .Schenck production, directed by Frank Lloyd. The story of "Ashes of Vengeance is laid in the time of Charles IX of France. Forty-eight massive sets, including one 330 feet long, reproducing repro-ducing the Louvre Palace baalroora, and another showing an entire section sec-tion of Paris in 1572, were built for this production.
