Ethel Barrymore, in the Seven-Act Drama
“THE CALL OF HER PEOPLE”
In “The Call of Her People,”
Metro’s great seven-act special re
lease, picturized from Edward Shel
don’s famous play, "Egypt,” Ethel
Barrymore has an opportunity to dis
play most superb skill as a horse
woman. During the making of the
picture the star was called on to ride
at breakneck speed both along rough
country roads and through crowded
city streets filled with vehicles and
pedestrians. Six hundred people took
part in the production, and Miss Bar
rymore rode through this crowd on
a spirited horse.
