Summary

For the first time in the history of Paramount picture-making in the East, scenes made by the Prizma process in natural colours have been incorporated into a Paramount feature picture. This was for 'The Gilded Lily,' featuring Mae Murray, which will be shown at the Star theatre for three days, beginning tonight. Director Robert Z. Leonard, in explaining the reason for combining Prizma shots with the regular motion picture photography, said that 'The Gilded Lily' lent itself to coloured photography for the opening of the picture and that by use of it, the main theme of the story could be more convincingly introduced. 'The Gilded Lily' is an original story by Clara Beranger, and was written for Miss Murray. Film plot included. The cast surrounding Miss Murray is composed of Lowell Sherman, Jason Robards, Charles Gerard [sic], Leonora Ottinger, and Pauline Dempsey. Ernest Haller was the cameraman.
