Commodore ]. Stuart Blackton, vice
president of the Vitagraph Company,
blossoms out as an actor in Love.
Luck and Gasoline" now being pre-
scented at the Vitagraph theater. In
all his tremendous stock company,
there was not one actor who could
drive his high-speed motor boat, which
races through the picture at a fifty
mile-an-hour clip, so the commodore
played the part himself. He acquits
himself most creditabIy and handles
the racer with surprising ability.

A we'll known producer OF the Sehg
Polyscope Company, last week was
working on an out-of-door comedy, |
which involved a game of tennis. The
pith of one situation was to send the
ball in such direction, it would come |
directly to the heroine on the other
side of the net in unusual fashion.
The ball proved so erratic in its dis
position that it took fifteen grindings |
of the camera box to get the ball eX-
actly as the text demanded. This in
dicates the extreme care for absolute
accuracy IL picture taking.

ter in Boston this week.
