MAPLEWOOD, Ore, April 81
Editor of Richmond Palladium:
Will you allow me a little space in
your paper to write my friends few
words. Don't at the very beginning
wonder if Oregon doesn't have postage
stamps, for we are quite enthusiastic
over Oregon and won't listen to such
remarks. Well at any rate I want to
write to The Palladium and tell them
OF the most beautiful country they can
imagine. We are seven miles from
Portland on the Oregon Eectric in a
valley. All around us are hills COW
cred with fir and the only way that we
know we have neighbors over there is
by watching for little blue clouds of
smoke hanging over the roofs. Upon
a hill side above me Is prune orch
ard and can't describe 1t any other
way except it is Paradise. The prune
blossoms are far prettier than cherry
blossoms and more fragrant. The
weather at present is just about like
the middle Of June where you are and
where I came from three years the
14th Of next September.
1t seems like longer than that when
/ sit down and wonder what the folks
at home are doing We're any Of you
among strangers without soul to talk
to except your own immediate family
If so you know how have suffered
and do yet although I am acquainted
with all the neighbors and they seem
very nice but the people in small
places like we are here. are very jeal-
Gus nature and consequently I treat
all we'll and let it 60 at that.
Last Sunday Mr.. Stewart. the chill
dren and took a trip and l am quite
sure can't express the beauty so that
any of your readers can realize it but
we started from home here in the
morning on the 1927 car and got off
at Ryan Place and walked about ~
miles to Capitol Hill. There we rested
and ate dinner with some more Hoos-
iers, then all of us started out to look
for a good place to fish for mountain
trout. We found the place all right
but the beauty of the place to our no.
ton surpassed all the trout imaginable
so we just sat and looked and filled

ever, the flames leaped up, famed by
breeze which suddenly swooped
down on US, and the other player and
myself found that we were within the
four walls of a blazing furnace, the
door having caught fire, too.
"Our first impulse, naturally, was to
make our escape in the quickest man

that if we did it would require the
rebuilding of the shack and repeating
of the many efforts we had in getting

flames to the door and then with my

door and out in front of the camera,

that those who have read the works of

battling than those created by any
other writer Of the present day. There
were scenes In the production where
the slightest show of any kind of emo

ment and ruined the entire effect OF

much merriment Wednesday, when
Mrs. H. J. Williams and Mrs. e. W.
Strange complimented their guests,
Misses Bobbie Baldwin and Birdie

most pleasant picnics of the season.
The cooling waters of the placid pool
were never more enticing, while the
pavilion afforded restful retreat for
those who did not indulge in bathing.
The splendid luncheon served at the
noontide hour, satisfied the appetites
of those present, while the mineral
waters of the nearby spring quenched
their thirst Truly, the day was one
of gladness, and will be long remem-
bered by those present, who were Mr..

different mediums, and this novelty
relieved the monotony of such steady
grind.
Il will try to tell you some of the in
teresting things which occurred dur
ing the filming of the big scenes for
The Millionaire Baby The first one
that comes to my mind. and one which
I will remember for long, long time,
was fire scene in which I was sup
posed to rescue another actor, who
was playing the part of my employer,
from burning building. Our direc-
tor tried using smokepots, but these
did not give the realistic effect which
he desired, so he determined that the
shack which had been erected in the
large yard of the studio would have to
be burned and that the two of US who
were to appear in the scene would
have to undertake what is termed by
the players "a stunt In other words
We would have to run the risk of being
injured for the sake of realism.
ms oluer prayer was plaCeu IN the
shack and the fire started. The bust
ness Of my part called for my rushing
into the building and carrying the
other man out through the smoke and
flames and or the scene. Oil was
sprinkled on various parts of the
shack. but not around the door
through which we were to exit while
I was doing the rescue" All ap-

realize that everything they do is re-
corded by the camera and that slip
which might go unnoticed on the stage
Will ruin a whole scene in film drama
and possibly spoil the entire produc-
ton If it is not retaken. One of the
most difficult scenes in The Million
aire Baby was the one in which the
child is stolen. The skill of handling
this so as not to kill the whole story
depended more upon the men who re.

moment we began work. 1t was this
