COLE IN THE MOVIE FIELD
Managing Director Of Film Com
pany Declares Cole Eight is
Car for Tough Work.
GETS ADVICE OF ENGINEER

Many tests have been designed for the
motor car Of today TO prove it's worth.
but none more trying. more difficult or
more thrilling can be imagined than the
use Of car in the motion picture field.
II r. IN work Of this nature that the Cole
eight has made a name for itself in pro-
| auctions Of the Kalem Film company Of
Glendale. Cal, during the last two
..-onths
Moving picture actors and actresses
have difficult roles in many OF the per
formances. as do the cars they use, but
the man who directs the efforts Of the
performers over the countless acres OF
the great outdoor theater on the Pacific
coast has the hardest task. and the car
he drives in his daily routine must be
Just as capable OF overcomins all obsta-
Giles as the film producer himself
I For the last two months James w
/ Horne. managing director for the Kalern
| Film company has been driving n Cole
eight each day travelling "cross-lots" to
direct the efforts of those who are maxi
ing moving picture history.
Knowing Just what kind OF power and
sturdy construction was needed In a
motor car 10 fulfill the duties he would
impose on Il. Mr.. Horne started out, lust
three months ago, TO find an automobile
which would conform TO his specifica-
lions. Accompanied by an expert me-
chanical engineer he attended the auto
show in Los Angeles. After looking over
all the cars on display he selected four
cars TO be given closer investigation and
consideration. or the four cars the CoR
Eight was the lowest in sales prices, but
this point was not taken into considera-
ton.
Examines All -Four.
Mr.. Horne's expert made q thorough
examination Of these four cars. compar-
ing all specifications. This resulted In the
elimination of two cars. the Cole Eight
being one of the two still left in the
running. Mr.. Horne and his engineer
then requested a strenuous demonstra-
tion. During this demonstration ease of
control, acceleration, motor power and
fuel consumption were carefully noted.
Some hills had to be made at extremely
slow speed in high gear. while others
had to be rushed. Throttling down in
high gear on level roads and pulling
through deep sand were among the num-
lerous other tests.
Then. with all the results OF these
trials in favor OF the Cole Eight, Mr.
Horne requested the names of other Cole
Eight owners in and near Los Angeles
These names we're furnished and on IN,
terrogation the reports which thest
owners gave were OF such a character
that, taken in conjunction with the me
chanicai investigation, Mr.. Horne pur
chased the Cole Eight.
