When Maurice Costello, Of the Vita
graph Company. and his fellow globe
trotters were located at Cairo, Egypt
they started to portray The Life of
Moses In order to have the correct
settings in the River Nile for the dis
covery of Moses in the bullrushes, they
arranged everything in keeping with
Biblical history, SO as to have IL as
nearly perfect as possible. They care
fully selected clumps of bullrushes and
planted them thickly along the banks OF
the Nile. The scene finished, they did
not take, the trouble to remove their set
tings. Some of the dragomen. or guides,
of the City of Cairo, who had witnessed
the taking of the picture, saw an oppor-
tunity to utilize the setting to their
pecuniary advantage. They conducted
the tourists visiting Cairo to this spot.
pointing II out as the original location
of where Moses was found by Pharaoh's
daughter further explaining to them that
the bullrushes were the actual ones that
were there 1000 years ago.
One day, sitting on the porch Of one OF
the hotels, Mr.. Costello was speaking II
some ladies who were visiting Egypt fof
the first time, and, with much enthusi-
asm. asked him il he had seen the place
where Moses had been discovered in the
bullrushes; also telling him that every
thing was preserved in its original state
Mr.. Costello at once recognized from
their description that they had been
made the victims OF the dragomen and
the settings of the VitagTaph players.
He felt some compunctIon about disturb
ing their credulity, but thought the Joke
was too good to Keep. When he told
them the facts they almost fell over with
