Cost of Productions.

Another great point about the
pictures is the low cost 10 the pa

dramatists and actors and all the
interesting portions or the world
within the reach of everybody for
few cents, You may be inter

spend more money on 4 picture that

mate stage producer spends on

For instance, ''Ivanhoc, - which VIC
showed at the Rex here not long
ago for 10 cents, cost US something
like $4,000 TO produce. We sent
King Baggot, one Of our leading
stars, and big company to Eng
land to produce that picture. It
took several months Of rehear rsal.
Another picture, Just being finished

Wonderful Things Seen.

have seen some wonderful things
IN the picture business since that
time The Universal Film company,
in which / am interested, is now
producing thirty plays n week.
, thousands of feet of film-and it
seems that we can t keep up with
the demand. Our plant at Univer-
sal City, Cal, has several Hundred
people on the pay roll and we have
from a dozen 10 twenty stock COM
panies working there all the time.
The Importance of the business can
only be appreciated by those who
have investigated it. 1t involves
more than a hundred million dollars
in this country alone every year,
and is constantly growing. Some OF
our actors receive salaries as high
as $1,000 a week, and none of them
get less than SIS. think the money
Inducement is one of the chief fac
TOTS in drawing so many noted act
ors from the legitimate stage to the
pictures. They not only get big
money, but are employed fifty-two
weeks OF the year, instead of only
during the theatrical season of the
dramatic stage.
/ would not like TO prophesy what
the future Of the business Will be,
but it will grow constantly. | find
the trend now is toward the big fca-
lures, dramatic and historical. Or
course, the film has wonderful his
torical value, AS well as its enter
tainment value. The big historical
features put on by our companies,
for instance, are staged only after
study and investigation that some
times covers months of work for a
single production. This is done so
as to make the settings, costumes,
etc. historically correct TO the
smallest detail. The result is TO
give spectators a better idea of the
particular historical event under
consideration than could possibly be
derived from reading or from
production put on subject TO the
limitation Of the dramatic stage.
The dramatic production is neces-
sarily confined to interiors, while
we have all the world for back
ground. We have covered most OF
il. too. We always have ono or
more companies at work abroad and
have one in Africa now.

One industry Of the Peslsy Ant.

Out in Burma and the far east. where sanda1wood is worth its weight In sIl- yer, the pestiferous ant is valuable assistant to the loggers of that precious timber. The hard and fragrant heart wood alone has value, but as the tree grows this valuable heart Is overlaid by a soft and worthless layer forming two-thirds of the trunk. When a tree is fe4ed and cut into lengths the log gers let the timber lie. At once the ants begin work upon the soft wood, which is sappy and sweet enough to attract them. In a few weeks, less than q month in the case of the largest butts, the, ants deliver the heartwood free of all the worthless sapwood.
