is, she was supposed to look upon MacS Arthur as an unCultured American baCkwOodsman and act toward him &C., cOrdingly.
 Since the cost of the photographs was borne by the film company, their manager began to fear that the ex- pense of production would be too great 10 warrant continuing the photograph ing. He stopped work, but after MT. Ashley had lectured the actresses on their behavior and they had promised to do better in future the manager con- scented to proceed.
 Eben Macarthur in the play wins Lord Administers confidence in order to expose his designs upon Lucinda he is expected to show his lordship much admiration. But in the real life part these two men were rivals for the hand of the hostess. Now, photo graph exaggerates an expression. The result was that the films of these ear Her scenes showed sufficient hatred on the part of Macarthur toward his rival to give away his detective purposes.
 Again another halt was called by the manager of the film company, and Mr. Ashley lectured the actors in the same strain he had spoken to the actresses. But by this time seven times the length of film had been used that was ordina- rily necessary, and few of the scenes between the principal characters had been pictured satisfactorily. Indeed, matters had come to such a pass that Mir. Ashley, who was aware of the diff faculties underlying the i'll success, de- clared that success in picture play making with n company wherein there were so much love and inordinate jeal- ousy incompatible with the play must result as it had bcgun-in failure-and the attempt had better be discontn- ued.
 However, Miss Daisy Allison, whose heart was set on the enterprise and whose pocketboOk was well stocked, usIGGu lO HlIIl llG tApGlSG OL A4ltlA ing the photographs above a certain amount, and after that the mana ger of the film company was pacitied. The only danger now was that the pa- tIence of the photographer would give out. Nevertheless, the extra cost hay ing been provided for, the production of the films proceeded, and four reels were finished, if not satisfactorily, at least the best that could be done under the circumstances.
 Mir. Ashley hoped that at the manu- lecture of the fifth and last reel the actors and actresses would have come Into such harmony in their parts that the scenes would be sufficiently sue cesSfuI to cause audiences to forget the blemish of the earlier scenes. Eben MacArthur shows up the vnlainy of Lord Administer and, after an inter- view in a dramatic scene, points to the door through which his lOrdship pass es, Cringing. Ashley dreaded this scene, for by this time the rivalry between the two men in the real life affair had become extremely bitter But the play wright hoped for the best
 He was disappointed. Administer, who was left tackle in a football team, becoming cXaspcrated at the charges of his rival, instead of sinking out un- der the torrent of invective took his rival by the collar and the seat of his trousers and threw him into O flower bed.
 The commotion that followed this exploit was only allayed by the hostess demanding an apology from the foot ball man and promise that he would play his part as was intended for a second picture, on pain of q discon- tinuance of his acquaintance. This brought him to terms, and films of the scene were obtained which were at least in accordance with the scenario.
 There was more trouble among the actresses. In the play Gladys Pember. ton wins the confidence of Lucinda Owens in order to detach her from Lord Administer, and Lucinda does not discover her treachery until the last scene, when she upbraids her and steps into an automobile with MacArthur to go to q steamer to return to America. When this scene came to be enacted Lucinda's taunts had a similar effect on Gladys to MacArthur's on Lord Ak minister. The chauffeur brought the , car up under the pOrte-cochere. Mac Arthur was waiting at the car door for Lucinda to finish her contemptuous re- marks to Gladys; but, getting tired of waiting, he stepped into the auto and took possession of a back seat. Sud denly Gladys made dash for the auto, jumped in and shut the door. The chauffeur, hearing the slam, took 1t for q signal to depart, put on the clutch and went rolling nway with the wrong | woman.
