The Fall Of Belshazzer as Staged by
Griffith, is Called the Great
est Film Yet
Made.
THE COST Is ENORMOUS
William e. RAIDER Writes to Rrothe-'
Here Of Some Of the In
eidents During the
Production.

F. c. Stockton has a most inter.
! esting letter from his brother, whose
stage name is William E. RAIDER, who
is busy taking part in a great NOV
! ing picture being staged at Holly
wood. Calf. by D. W. Griffith and
which he says is the most wonderful
one yet filmed. Here is his descrip-
ton Of the work:
Since writing you last have been
through. and have seen things that l
never dreamed of seeing.
| Moving pictures are wonderful, but
this one is the most wonderful of all.
And the expense has been enormous
AS l told you before. l am working
in the Babylonian period and the
massive set they have built for this
period alone is sight to behold.
Two days in succession last week
they staged Belshazzers feast. He
was the wicked king of Babylon. Both
days they employed over 5000 peo-
pie. They, had real things to eat,
! such as fruit, cake, bread and meat,
and lots of it. Whole sides of cooked
beef that they carried on poles. And
the coloring and costumes, also the
rugs and draperies were gorgeous and
everything was a rainbow of bright
colors and flashing jewels. It is
y
ed SO that it could take the coloring.
They are sparing no expense to
make this picture the biggest and
finest the world has ever seen. Rugs
that cost from $4,000 to $4,000 lay
ing around different places, lots of
them being ruined by having nails
driven through them or oil dropped
on them, or trampled in the dust

are everywhere.
They had a big orchestra to play
the music for the 800 dancing girls.
all Of which were scantily clad, and
some we're clad much less than that
and then some.
At the first they had few animals
such as a bear, catamount, mon
key and some doves.
King Cyrus enters the city during
the merry-making. puts Belshazzer's
soldiers who are drunk, to the sword.

King Be1shazzer, was slightly over
come by the smoke and fumes of
fire and had to be taken down, but
in ten minutes was back again in his
place, going through the scene as if
nothing had happened.
We also had a battle scene Zone Of
many on the walls the other day.
It was when Cyrus's army was at
lacking the city of Babylon.
They have great tall towers that
they roll up to the walls during the
battle, and when close enough they
let down little drawbridge from
the tower and try to land their sol
diers on the wall. Some very pretty
work. Quite little danger also. for

The Vermont Maple Syrup company,
recently organized at Essex junction,
is coaeern which ought to make a
success of; its business. One trouble
with Vermont agricultural products has
been that, they were not attractively
prepared for the market. Our apples
the finest colored and favored in the
world-have been thrown into barrels
and sent away while western farmers
were giving as much attention to the
appearance of their fruit as the Florida
and Southern California orange grow
ers give to oranges. The apples packed
in boxes in individual papers have
brought top prices, because they could
be displayed in a way that appealed to
the eve, while the other kind, that
might have appealed to the taste on
fair comparison, did not get a "Iook-
in.' The Essex Junction company,
which is erecting a plant where 81
to 40 hands will be employed, plans to
buy syrup i'll bulk and to bottle it for
shipment to the western cities Give
the people who want something choice
in an attractive package, and then add
to this the genuine Vermont maple
taste, and the market ought to be
unlimited i'll extent and at prices that
spell profit.

The Unknown Dale.
Barre Times.)


A couple of rather pungent editorial
comments on Congressman Porter H.
Dale of the second district indicates
that for some reason the Washington
county bunch and the State House
gang are displeased with the represen-
tative from across the mountains. Why
is it? What has Dale done to get him
self Gin wrong ?''-Rutland Herald.
The contemporary then goes on to
quote The Times as expressing the
wish that Congressman Dale might 20
about his own district and let the peo-
pie get acquainted with him. A per
fcctly reasonable wish it seems to be
and not shaded by any political color
ing. The fact is, the people of the see
ond district do not know Dale, have
never known him, and never will know
him unless he stirs about more than to
attend some strictly partisan gathering
Of politicians. The Rutland paper goes
into some length to set forth that Dale
is well known because he held some
town offices in Brighton, was state SEN
ator two years from Essex county, was
chairman of the district convention i'll
1896, was q member of the Republi-
can state committee in 1908, chairman
of the Republican state convention in
sos and on Gov. Circuit s staff from
1896 to 1898. That is a fairly good ar
ray of statements, but not at all indie
active that Dale is in touch with the
people of his district. In fact. those
statements would convey the impress
sion that, outside of merely local cir
clcs surrounding his home town, Dale 5
associations have been largely with
select lotteries of politicians or with
single representatives. of large collec
tons of the people of the district. To
say that Dale was n member of the
state committee of one party back in
1908 or that he presided over a gather
ing of 200 or 300 men Is years ago, or
that he wore gold braid on a COVER
nor s staff a score of years back is not
proof that Dale is known by the com
mon people.
However, that is not to say that the
common people of the district would
not like to see Dale and become ac-
quainted with him. They would like to
see him; they banker after the oppOr
tunity; they would now and then like
to hear Dale open his mouth in some
important public utterance with the
same frankness and certainty which
the representative of the first district
uses, the representative with whom the
Rutland Herald expresses its feeling of
satisfaction. 1t is not disloyalty to
Dale by any means. 1t is a natural and
reasonable desire.
