Director Frank Lloyd of the Pallas
Picture Company condemned fifty
feet of perfectly good film in the ma
king of "The Gentleman from Indi-
ana," because the property man left

on the subject and the politicians are
now trying to quiet the ministers.

to live forever, but the following
ought to "hold" some of the more
stringent Judges of photoplays" for
some time to come. According to
Everybody's Magazine, there was a
