Samuel Zierler Photoplay Corp.The 20 Jan 1923 Film Daily reported that scenarist Frank S. Beresford was in the process of adapting Leroy Scott’s 1923 novel, Cordelia the Magnificent.
According to the 10 Mar 1923 Camera, producer Harry Garson was making “elaborate efforts” to conceal the identity of the actor playing the villain, as it would ruin the story’s climax. A production chart in the 17 Mar 1923 issue indicated that principal photography began in late Jan 1923 at Garson Studios, located at 1845 Glendale Boulevard in Los Angeles, CA. The completion of filming was reported in the 10 Mar 1923 Motion Picture News.
Cordelia the Magnificent was released on 30 Apr 1923, followed by openings in New York City on 21 Jun 1923 at Loew’s New York Theatre, and in Los Angeles at the Kinema Theatre during the week of 11 Aug 1923. Reviews were lukewarm to negative, with several critics concurring that the picture compared poorly to the novel.
