Rain and flood followed William Farnum, star of the William Fox pro- auction. "A Man Of Sorrow" playing at the Lamara today. during the mak- ing Of that picture in California While Mir. Farnum and . company of eighty were on their way to Rio Vista to make certain scenes, they were held up near MoiaVe by washouts Oscar C. Apfel, director of the production, persuaded the members of the com pany to give an impromptu concert in the observation buffet car for the ma l roOued travellers.
 | On arrival in Rio Vista the com 1 pany was cut off from the outside | world for three days on account of the severe storm. Telegraph wires were down and traffic was stopped on the river. which rose to an alarming height and threatened to flood the town. The weather was so unsuitable for photogra phic work that Director Ap- fel declared a holiday and organized a goose hunting party consisting of Nir. Farnum, William Burress. Willard Louis, Lester Scott and himself The party Jagged the limit of birds. and on the return to town the entire com pany was treated to a goose dinner a. which Mir. Farnum presided. MT. Far nun, by tie way, is one Of the best amateur shots in the country His collection of heads. skins and other trophies is one of the most interesting features of his summer residence al | Sag Harbor. l.. l.

 the heavy mid-winter rains. Wher
 they were about to begin the return

 roads had been washed out, so thai
