Million Dollar Photo Play Developed From 150 Words
C Gardner Sullivan, co-author with Thomas H Ince of Civilization, built a fine career from rapid acceptances to Edison Studios and Ince's Triangle program. He conceived a war teaching script in about 150 words, which led to a one million dollar investment and a three month work sprint to complete the film. The feature, to be shown here, features child actress Thelma Safier, noted for The Sign of the Rose and Disciple, with Los Angeles origins and a nimble, active early life. The article relays Sullivan's career arc from Minnesota roots to major Hollywood collaborations and wartime cinema ambitions.
