Constance Talmadge says she’s going to build a theatre for women only.
“There is a real need for a women-only theater,” she avows. “As it is, men drag their wives and sweethearts to theatres in order to see slapstick comedy, in which women are not at all interested. “Som day I am going to have a woman director. And most of the cast in my pictures will be women, too, with the exception, of course, of a leading man and maybe a male villain.
“I think that from the women-only theatres will develop a new type of plays. The comedies, especially, I intend shall have a subtle and feminine appeal which will be entirely ‘over the heads’ of the men.”
Constance’s latest First National comedy, “Her Night of Romance,” was directed by Sidney Franklin for Producer Joseph M. Schenck. It was written by Hans Kraley, author of “Passion,” “Deception,” and other screen plays. Her leading man is Roland [Ronald?] Colman of “White Sister” fame. Jean Hersholt, who appeared with her in “The Goldfish”; Albert Gran, Sidney Bracy, Joseph Dowling and Templar Saxe also are in the cast. The picture will be shown at the Concord Theatre today. The story hinges on a love mix-up in an English castle.
