'''MALE AND FEMALE''' was filmed, in part, on Santa Cruz Island's north shore in 1919. It is based on the play, '''The Admiral Crichton''', by J. M. Barrie. The film was produced by Karl Struss and Directed by Cecile B. DeMille and the Lasky Motion Picture Company. The movie starred the then unknown aspiring actress, Gloria Swanson, with co-stars Thomas Meighan, Lila Lee and Mildred Reardon. The movie involves a wealthy woman who is shipwrecked on an island with her butler and the rest of the help. Out of their former social milieu, the woman and her butler start to, ahem, appreciate each other’s gender.

Barrie’s The Admirable Crichton, goes on in New York week after next, not only will Mr. DeMille himself be present, but as a reward for their hard work in the film, members of his staff of players at Lasky studio who enacted some of the leading roles will also be among those present with the thumbs-uppers  on the opening night. Already Gloria Swanson and Thomas Meighan have flitted, and Mr. DeMille himself, who at present is taking a yachting trip, expects to return in time to leave Saturday morning…”
