Scenes in Feature Drama Filmed In
Grocery Store.
The Wise release. "Hls Wife's
Good Name" is the attraction at the
Pastime Theater on Sunday only
In this vitagraph Blue Ribbon Fea-
ture Director Ralph w. Ince found
it necessary to film a number of
scenes in a grocery store, so he gave
orders for the set to be erected in
the studios Immediately.
AS general rule this would have
entailed but a little trouble and ex-
pense. but the studios happened to
be in active service and the necessary
space for a store Of this kind could
not be had at that particular time.
Nothing daunted, Mr.. Ince gave or
ders for his company to report at
grocery store few blocks from the
studios early the following morning,
when they would film the scenes.
After receiving the permission OF
the store keeper the lights and other
pharaphernalia were transported and
rehearsals began.
Instead of asking the manager to
keep customers out of the store while
the actual picture was being taken,
Mr.. Ince decided to let them become
the payers for the time and unknow-
ingly form the action of the story. OF
course, had they seen the camera the
joke would have been over, but only
the necessary eye showing The
plan worked well-in fact better than
the company thought it would, with
the result that the scene is quite at
tractive and framed with no small
amount of realism.

JUST N-EIGHBORLINESS.

Stop a minute! Think of the great
humanizing quality of neighborliness.
Contrast a community where it
thrives and fourishes with one where
it is a negligible quantity.
Consider how gregarious a creature
is man, and how his very nature de-
mands intercourse with his fellows.
Sit down and reckon UP the per
cent. Of your comfort and happiness
that depends in whole or in part on
the good will of your neighbors.
Think what you would be without
neighbors-a modern Robinson Cru
soc, a hermit.
Honestly, now, don't about nine
tenths of the enjoyments of life come
either directly or indirectly from your
neighbors? They certainly do.
Well, now, are you doing YOUR
part as a neighbor? Remember, youl
neighbor needs a neighbor as badly as
The Pleasantville press. (Pleasantville, N.J.) 1912-1929, 1916-10-14

YOU do-and you are he. Are you do
ing your full part to pass along the
little acts of neighborliness and kind
ness that are extended to you? Or
are you like the sponge, absorb until
you are full and never give up until
lou are squeezed?
Now ask yourself this question
"What would this world be if every
other man were just like me?"
Are you a neighbor, or a SPONGE?
