That no Hollywood picture pro
ducer has ever placed Nathaniel
Hawthorne’s immortal “The
House of the Seven Gables” be
fore the cameras until the pres
ent is somewhat surprising, but
that oversight has now been rem
edied. The picture Is now com
pleted and will be the featured
attraction at the New Orpheuni
Theatre Monday and Tuesday.
When Universal discovered that
the Hawthorne tale had never be
fore been filmed, it quietly began
preparations for its production.
They did not want any other stu
dio to 'b^t them to the screen
with it.
Jack Otter.son, the studio’s art
director, was sent to Salem, Mass.,
to inspect, photograph and draw-
plans of the “The House of the
Seven Gables” of Hawthorne’s
dramatic masterpiece. It ■wasn’t
until sets were ready for the cam
eras that the studio announced
that the picture would be made.
Joe May was assigned to the di
rection. The cast includes George
Sanders-, Margaret Lindsay, Vin
cent Price. Nan Gray and Dick
Foran. Miss Lindsay appears as
Hepzihah; Sanders as Jaffrey
Pyncheon; Pricee as his brother,
Clifford; Nan Grey as Phoebe and
Dick Foran as Matthew Maule.
Three of Universal’s .stages
were crowded with sets represent
ing interiors nf the ill-fated and
forbidding mansion in which most
of tiie action lakes place. Otter-
son’s plans and drawings result
ed in the creation of replicas ot
tiie main living rooms of the
houst, the upper and lower hall
ways. and in the construction of
a duplicate of the m^sion on the
studio’s back lot.
Only slight changes were nec
essary in Hawthorne’s story, Burt
Kelly, associate producer of the
picture declares. Hepzihah and
Clifford, brother and sister in
Hawthorne's original tale, will
appear as distant cousins in love
with each other. Jaffrey, Clif
ford’s uncle in the book, will be
seen as his cruel and grasping
t'l'other. A prologue,, covering de
tails told in retrospect in Haw
thorne's novel, was filmed to fur
ther enhance the action of the
picture.
