Some of the scenes of "pDssession' are laid in the beautiful country of southern France and there went Mr. Mercanton and his players,' right into the heart of this luxuriant district to make his production. Many historic spots and many historic structures were utilized, thereby giving "Possession" a realistic atmosphere that eould not be approached by "built-up- " sets. Many of the scenes, too, were taken on the Island of St. Margaret's, off the southern coast of France, and the cave in which some of the most exciting action in the play takes place is a spot of great renown to which tourists from all over the world pay a visit when in southern France. and iBuren, Brodwitch (Smoke) Turner, .responsible for the photography, Amos 'Nigel de Brulier, John Sainpolis, Mark the technical directors were Fenton, Virginia Warwick, Derek; Myers and Joseph Calder.
