SO expedtlously and with such apparent
interest on the part of all participants as
in this instance. AT the studio" said he
I'VE attributed this spirit of helpfu.ness in
part to the nature Of the story for we felt
that the influence of Joan was over us all
At the same time we were inspired by Miss
Farrar herself, who was the most indefatlg-
able OF the workers and who, on all occa-
sions. was tireless in her efforts
Joan the Woman was originally in
fifteen reels and they were taken In sixty
two working days. The beginning was i'm
July and at the end of September the
picture was completed. The battle scene
at the end Of the first epoch in the picture
required but one day to make We had
thought that perhaps week might be
necessary for shooting this conflict But
everything was wonderfully well arranged.
Milton Hoffman and Fred Kley, who are in
charge of the conduct of the studio have
devised perfect system and 1t worked
without hitch. OF course there were tele-
phones at all parts of the battlefield The

Each night when pictures were com
pleted they would be shown i'm the studio.

the completed film before it was shown in

the trst showing because IL was necessary
Tor me to see to 1t that the music synchro-
nized with the scenes But none of the
members of the cast was privileged to see
Joan until the first public performance
at Los Angeles on January 15
We were wonderfully free from serious
accidents in the making of this picture.
although one fellow fell from his horse and
was in a hospital for several days We
worked hard. Long hours never bothered
us. Several of the scenes were taken at
night. and one Of these showing the tr-
umphal entry of Joan into Orleans. a twi-
light picture, was for all OF us "A most
