*Old Ironsides” HE frigate Constitution, in history ++ as “0ld Ironsides,” and the record of its glorlous career are to be pre- served-to posterity forever. James Cruze, who made “The Cov- ered Wagon,” has left Los Angeles for Europe to gather data and select locatipns for fllming (ht‘ super- historical'epic to be called ““Old Iron- sides.” Mr. Cruze will visit Tripoli, where the Constitution reached the climax of its naval fame during the war against pirates of the Mediter- fanean by the United States in 1804. Saved once before by Oliver Wendell Holmes® stirring poem, “Old Ironsides,” the heroic frigate, now falling to pleces from rot and disuse in the Boston Navy Yard, is again being rescued from oblivion by school children of America, under the leadership of the Navy Department, through millions of small contributions toward its re- construction, The Elks, Daughters of the Revolution and many other patri- otic societles are lending their co- operation and support Although this will preserve the ves- wel for another half century, it is now to be immortalized in a larger way by Cruze. It is to he preserved not as a glorlous hulk fallen into sad decay but as a living thing, beautiful and proud; its canvas bellled to the wind, helm down, salling forever before the eyes of American youth across the maglc of the silver screen. Jesse L, Lasky, first vice presidens St Famous Players-Lasky Corporation, has announced that the Constitution’s gripping story, from the time its keel was laid in the Philadelphia Na Yard in 1794 and including its valiant service against pirates of Tripoli, will be filmed on the mightiest scale ever attempted.
