The barge was a full-sized replica built in Bridgeport, Connecticut. Marion Davies makes her entrance coming down the river on a royal barge. According to Variety, William Randolph Hearst launched “the most expensive and extensive campaign that has ever been organized for anything theatrical”, with over 650 billboards in New York, 300 subway advertising placards, special booths in department stores that sold souvenir books, and a dazzling string of electric signs that pervaded Times Square, upon which Will Rogers quipped that Davies’s next film would be titled When Electric Light Was in Power. With an estimated cost of $1,500,000, it was considered by Life “the most expensive film that has ever been produced” in 1922. Įxteriors were shot at Windsor Castle, England. Additional collections of the artist are held by the Smithsonian Institution. A majority of this collection is held by The Metropolitan Museum of Art. King became well known for his “Hamilton King Girls”, significantly working on behalf of Turkish Trophies Cigarettes. She is buried beside her sister Marion in the Douras mausoleum along with Marion’s husband Horace Brown, as well as with Patrica Lake and her husband, actor Arthur Lake. ĭavies married Louis Adlon who was an American, German-born motion picture actor. After the death of Patricia Lake, Lake’s family announced that Lake was in fact the daughter of Marion Davies and William Randolph Hearst, born secretly during a trip abroad in 1923. However, her name was mentioned in different circles briefly when she was said to be the mother of Patricia Lake by her first husband, George Van Cleeve. Rosemary Davies (J– September 20, 1963) was an American actress.īorn Rose Douras in Brooklyn, New York, she was the sister of the actresses Marion Davies and Reine Davies but did not reach the same fame as her two sisters. I believe there is a mistake in saying the exteriors were shot at Windsor Castle, when we see the interior. I look some more and find many roses around Marion including the Tudor Rose. Spookie Noodles informed me that Marion Davies had a secret child, and I look and find Rose, or Rosemary Davies.
