ORIGINAL “MERRY WIDOW" IS
PLAYER IN NEW MOVIE VERSION
I
l
It wa3 inevitable that at least one
member of the original “The Merry
Widow” company would appear in the
modernized film version, which is the
attraction at the Liberty Theatre com
mencing tonight. Erick von Stroheim,
who directed the film for Metro-Gold
wyn-Mayer, sent out a special call for
players who had acted in the original
stage presentation of the famous ro
mantic light opera.
Von Stroheim cast Ralph Whiting
for a small but important part in “The
Merry Widow.” He plays an officer in
the King's Life Guard and has a num
ber of scenes that contribute to the
tense drama of the story.
In the original company Whiting
played a small role in the first act and
then doubled in an important role in
the Maxime’s scene. His wTork, it will
be remembered by those who saw the
place, made one of the outstanding
comedy hits. He played the tipsy
Englishman who meandered about the
cafe and caused disturbances general
ly.
Incidentally, when von Stroheim
was selecting players for “The Merry
Widow” over twenty-five applicants
stated that they had appeared in the
original company. Upon investigation
it was learned that most of them were
in the chorus of the many road com
panies.
“The Merry Widow" was adapted to
the screen by Erick Stroheim and
Benjamin Glazer from the famous
stage play by Victor Leon, Leo Stein
and Franz Lehar, als produced by •
Henry W. Savage.
