Il lust know that could do it all
tight. and I'm just crazy to be in q
movie show.
s. This Is what the Keokuk girl said
when she asked Mr.. Dodge II he could
mt give her a part in the photoplay
. .The Heart OF Keokuk," which is to
ne filmed here the last Of this month
! And this girl is, just one Of many
Who have desire to take part in a
motion picture play. There have been
several applicants for asplace in the
show and all of them are being fled.
Some of them may have their antici-
nations fulfilled, for there are many
nnnortunities where Keokuk people
ran take part in the play.
Mr.. Dodge was out at the Country
club grounds the other day, testing
his new camera and took some pic
lures of the golfers there. The final
scenes in The Heart of Keoknk" are
to be taken at the Country club where
I a picnic party is to be held by the
principal characters and where we'd
ding is to take place. much to the
surprise of all. In these final scenes,
s every member OF the Country club
will have an opportunity to get into
the flm-not as stars, however, but
as ornaments on the side, if they
desire
Another chance for Keokuk people
to get in the story and picture will be
Afforded at the Moose bathing beach
where another interesting chapter
will be filmed. Quite a number of
scenes will be taken here and every
body who cares to, will be welcomed
to be present that day and get their
faces and forms on the screen. A
bathing beach filed with Keokuk peo-
pie will surely prove an interesting
picture.
These two occasions will give a
great many people their opportunity
to get into a moving picture and un-
less nothing but star part will
satisfy them, here will be their
chance
To those who desire more active
part than just to be figure in the
crowd" they might have better op-
portunity for real acting If they are
present when the pictures are taken
Of the house on fire. BY means OF
smoke balls arranged near the win
dows and door of a house, a Keokuk
dwelling will appear to be on fire and
the fire department. including the
new truck will hurry to the scene.
Here will be another chance for the
stage struck" citizen Ito get in the
picture by being in the crowd about
the fire. or helping to carry furniture
out Of the burning house.
To those citizens who are really
anxious to be in the pictures, in minor
roles, the date of the taking Of some
of the scenes will be announced, thus
giving them notice of where to be to
satisfy their desire.
The cast of characters has not been
selected yet and a number of details
are being worked out before the first
rehearsal OF 1.-THE Heart OF Keokuk"
will be given.
The scenario has been so arranged
that 1t will be possible to insert any
important event in the history of Keo-
kuk which might occur within the
coming few weeks, without marring
the story and Mr.. Dodge is prepared
TO take any events between now and
the time OF the taking Of the story, to
be added or inserted in THE Heart Of
keokuk."
The film story will be OF two reels
and in every way will represent Keo-
kuk. 1t will be published as a short
story in The Gate City later.
