In the course of the action of "The
No-Good Guy" a feature photoplay
in which William Collier is starred on
the Triangle program, one of the
most genuine bomb explosions ever
staged before the camera takes place,
with a resultant wreck of an eight
story building. It took producer
Thomas H. Ince exactly. one month
to make that short scene possible.
He hunted all over California, it
seemed, to find a building about to be
torn down that he could destroy for
the sake of his Collier story. At
length he learned of an eight-story
concrete corner structure with a
frontage on two streets of 100 feet
| each, newly erected, but utterly con-
demned by the authorities because of
| some architectural defect.

spirit and the beautiful sentiments of
Mark Twain's delightful story, it has
also added a wealth of color and
action, of picturesque scenery and
costumes, that enhance to an enor-
NOUS degree the bewitching story of
the weary little Prince who longed
to be a beggar for a day, and of the
beggar who yearncd to be Prince,
both of whom suddenly find their
hearts desires gratified in a totally
unexpected and intensely dramatic
manner.
In the dual role of the "Prince and
the Pauper," Marguerite Clark per-
forms the most artistic work of her
entire stage or screen career, and
renders an Interpretation of the
characters, containing at once so
much poetry and power, so much
force and beauty, that it will newt
ably rank with the few greatest
characterizations yet contributed to
the screen.

where it will undoubtedly attract the
greatest crowds that have ever yet
