Curiosidades

Ella Cinders is a 1926 American silent comedy film directed by Alfred E. Green, starring Colleen Moore, produced by her husband John McCormick, and featuring Moore's recurring co-star, Lloyd Hughes. The film is based on the syndicated comic strip of the same name by William M. Conselman and Charles Plumb, which in turn was based upon the millennia-old folk tale of Cinderella.

Production

Portions of the film take place on the sets of a movie studio, so many regulars at First National Studios appear in the film. The film's director, Alfred E. Green, appears in the film as the director of the film being shot as Ella Cinders (Colleen Moore) runs through the studio. Harry Langdon also makes a cameo in the film as a famous film comedian who is being directed by a young Frank Capra.

The character of George Waite/Waite Lifter (Lloyd Hughes) was a parody of real-life football star Red Grange, who likewise played at the University of Illinois and worked as an iceman during the offseason. This was the last time that Moore and Hughes starred together in a film, having previously played the leads in The Huntress (1923), Sally (1925), The Desert Flower (1925) and Irene (1926).
