spoken-but the steps to be taken, the
gestures to be made, and the facial
expressions to be accumulated, the
director mods to the camera man, the
actors again go through with their
parts, the camera man turns the
crank, and in the space of two min
utes part of a film for a great
Western drama has been made.
Then, still in wide hats, leather
| breeches, and grease paint, the actors
all file out into the street followed
| by the director and the camera man,
and pile into two huge sightseeing
automobiles. The procession moves
off toward the setting sun, and halts
beside a driveway in Van Cortland
Park. They climb to the top of a
knoll; then is discovered real,
sure-enough, for truly, gold mine
carefully placed there an hour before
nv a property man. And here again
the actors rehearse, the stage direct
or curses, and finally the camera man
tnrns the crank Another hundred
feet of film for another great West
ern drama. and all within the hear
ing of the ghost of Deidrich knick-
! erbocker.
IN OInpI ways ihHiA ~
sance of boxes, parquet, balcony and
gallery, does this three stage theatre
in the Bronx differ from the ordinary
theatre where living actors play DEAD
narts The stage as the spectator
| knows is wider at the footllghts IMAM
at the backdrop; in the moving pic
ture studio the prospective Delng re-
versed, the stage is narrow at the
! front and wide at the back. Inc
actors in the Western drama were
not, in point of fact, in the room Oh
the general store, with its real bacon
and real breakfast food, but were
some 10 or Is feet in front of 1t, the
stage setting being only the back
ground.
Chalk lines were drawn on the
/ floor, conyerging at the camera
mouth, and woe be unto that actor
SO careless or so luckless as to step
outside of these converging lines and
thus get out of the picture. In the
ordinary moving picture play, except
in the great spectacular pictures, the
action takes place in a space not
wider than eight feet, and in the pic
ture, a detail rarely noticed by the
spectator, the players are all cut off
at the knees.
| In this particular studio five reels
are produced each week, each reel
averaging not less than fifteen sep
arate scenes. Here the actors work
from sun to sun and the click of the
camera crank is never still.
While the greater part of the film
producing business is carried on in
the metropolitan studios and in near
by parks and residential districts, all
the larger companies maintain road
companies as we'll. Several concerns
have permanent studios at Los An
geles, where advantage is taken of
the sub-tropical scenery, the noun
talns and the sea. Many of the SO
. called Western films are made in Ari-
iona, Wyoming, Colorado and Monta-
ma by the travelling stock companies.
Other American stock companies
have gone abroad, one to Cuba, an
other to Africa, and SO on. One
American company, desiring to
MIN Boucicaults play, Colleen
BaWn, sent special company of act
ors and camera men to Ireland and
make the pictures in the actual sci
ting OF the play, the Lakes of Kill
larney.

FIGHT OFF WORRY.
Don't Waste Nervous Strength and

The immediate cause of neuralgia Is
poison in the blood; therefore our
object is to keep the blood pure and
healthy, as 1t Is only when the blood
is poor that the neuralgia poisons de
yelop In 1t. Poor blood IS caused by
lack of sleep. lack OF fresh air, i'm.
proper food and oyerfatigue. by too
little exercise and by mental worry.
Nothing is easier to say than Don't
worry and few things 80 difficult to
carry out. But by Don't worry the
doctors mean do not waste valuable
nervous strength and energy in fret
ting over things beyond your control.
Make point Of putting all anxiety
from you during meals and above all
when you go to bed Train yourself to
think Of something cheerful as you try
to go to sleep; otherwise your sleep
will be harassed and fitful and will do
you very little good.

homecoming population. Utilized 1t
should be. The only questions to be
raised have to do with high rates to
the consumer and export of power
outside the state. Personally, the
first question does not interest me,
believing as I do in the full power
of the state to regulate rates of pub
lie service corporations, whether
they sell transportation, water, or
electric current.
The second question would appeal
to me as worthy of more attention
were the Kennebec river not SO far
removed from any outside market.
1t is true that long distance trans
mission has made wonderful strides
in recent years, but as yet what is
possible is not always profitable.
Hydroelectric transmission costs in
both cost of equipment anu loss OF
current, aud both these items OF eX-
pense are large. Electricity cannot
be delivered to a consumer twenty
miles distant from the generating
plant as to the manufacturer close
by, while to the customer 100 or Zoo
miles distant the costs must be con-
sderably higher. An engineer who
has constructed hydroelectric plants,
both east and west. and in both this
country and Canada, furnished me
some cost figures. Applying these
to the local problem, it would appear
that were a generating plant to be
built at The Forks, the developing
company could furnish a manufac
turer in the immediate vicinity pow
er at 60 per cent of what would need
to be charged consumer OF the
same amount of current at SkoWhe-
gan. and it can be seen that charges
to Portland or Poston consumers
would be far greater than to Somer-
set county customers. | don't hap
pen to know the plans or policies
of the company that has proposed
developing that particular large
power, but ! suspect that they will
sell wherever there is the best mar
ket, and the figures given above
serve to show that natural law is on
the side of the local consumer, and
natural law fortunately cannot long
be combatted by either capitalist or
politician.
1t might seem safe, therefore, to
encourage the development of the
Upper Kennebec waterpowers in the
hope that the utilization of other
resources would follow, and we must
not forget that the establishment of
local industries will afford larger
market for farm products and thus
give added value to Somerset farms.
The construction of the Kineo
branch of the Maine Central has not
begun to develop the Upper Kenne-
bee region as it should. It is fair
question whether we people of Maine
always recognize opportunity when
we see it. Possibly some of our
more enthusiastic Western brethren
go to the other extreme and think
they hear opportunity knock when
in reality il is only the wind shaking
the door.
The latest advice given by bill
boards to the travelling public is
See America first" Why not adopt
this motto for Maine citizens: BE
lieye and invest in Maine first"

SMALLEST CALF IN MAINE.

Edwin E. Taylor of North Augusta
has the smallest calf probably ever
born. He went out into his pasture
last week and there saw an animal
that was no bigger than a little
brown dog. but as he got nearer the
cow he found that 1t was a little
bossy 1t was 23 inches long, IS
inches high and weighed q pounds,
and was a fullblooded Jersey. The
calf is just week old and has to be
stood on box in order to reach up
to get his meals.

and eat with a relish that has not
been yours for many a day-you will
feel the natural pang of hunger and
will satisfy it: not a craving due to
habit. After the lunch is over, you
will fill the old Jimmy pipe, lie down
on your back beneath the tree and
blow clouds of smoke up into the
branches in deep contentment. Wifi
ey will sit there by you; and. as the
rare beauty and joy of the outdoors
takes possession of her thoughts, she
will feel more like living than she has
for a long time. A new light will
come into her eyes as she looks away
into the distance where the green of
the trees blends with the blue OF the
sky, where the coming morrow looks
more hopeful and she will say to
herself: This isn't such bad old
world to live in after all"
You journey home in the twilight
tired of limb perhaps-to that palace
of yours in your own town, Richmond
on Whitewater, where you sleep a
sleep undisturbed by dreams of de-
preston.
Next morning you and your wife CO

more hopeful of the future. The new
pictures in your minds of widespread

the distant horizon and of gentle
slopes supplant the disquieting kind.
Life has a new phase more cheering.

of all of the remaining nice autumn
Sundays; get all of the pictures you
