Edwin Arden in World Film (1915) 🇺🇸
In Edwin Arden the World Film Corporation has secured the services of one of the soundest and best-known actors in the United States who has contributed to the stage a long list of fine and manly impersonations which have created for him a wide public.
He graduated with Keene and Booth and made some of his earliest successes with W. H. Crane, Maude Adams, Kyrle Bellew, Eleanor Robson and Madame Simone. One of his most recent parts was that of George D’Alroz in Caste; he played in Raffles, Diplomacy, The Thief and many other famous successes.
Experience in stock, appearances in Romeo and Juliet, Julius Caesar and many other great productions confirmed Mr. Arden’s knowledge of the requirements of high-class stage work, which has stood him in good stead in the few pictures that have so far revealed his screen efforts to the motion picture theatergoing public.
Mr. Arden screens exceedingly well, has an agreeable personality, and, possessing a vigorous, refined and impressive style of acting will surely please the patrons of World Film. The name of the first photoplay in which Mr. Arden will appear under the World Film banner will be duly announced.

New Kalem Plant at Los Angeles.
The announcement that Kalem Company is to build a big new plant at Los Angeles is in line with the general policy of consolidation and improvement of production facilities among the older producing companies. Kalem has just finished a complete modern studio at Cliffside, N. J., as headquarters for its Eastern productions, and the new California plant will effect the consolidation of all its operations on the Pacific Coast, where it has heretofore maintained three separate studios. It is now offering for sale the newest and best of its three old locations at Hollywood.
Both the New York and Hollywood studios, which the company has outgrown, are well equipped, efficient, up-to-date plants, and will undoubtedly be snapped up by producers who are looking for bargains in ready-made studios.
