Wissenswertes

Those Who Dance is a lost 1924 American silent drama film produced by Thomas H. Ince and directed by Lambert Hillyer. Released by Associated First National, the film stars Blanche Sweet, Bessie Love, and Warner Baxter. It is based on a story by George Kibbe Turner.

Production

Those Who Dance was the first film produced at the Ince studios to be shot entirely behind closed doors. Ince restricted access to the set out of concern that visitors would misinterpret the film's more controversial scenes.

The film's climactic underworld ball required several days of construction to build a set modeled after a real-life New York hall. More than five hundred dancing couples and two jazz bands were used, with cameras filming from multiple angles.

For a key scene involving adjoining rooms, director Lambert Hillyer had a working Dictograph installed on set rather than directing through a megaphone. Cameras simultaneously filmed Mathew Betz and Bessie Love in one room, and Blanche Sweet and Warner Baxter in another. The scene was filmed in a single take after one rehearsal.
