this country was responsible for
Jofres safety, and it seems that what
we obtained had to be in spite of all
kinds of restrictions, but We got the
pictures.
"At the Army and Navy footbai,
game in New York the only way we
could get inside of the grounds was
to follow President Wilson in an auto
mobile and drive close behind him. In
the side Of our car was hole for the
eye Of the camera, and before they
could order US out we had obtained
some very good pictures. Our men
were at the Sheepshead Bay track, too,
and one of them was in a car which
went at the rate of 100 miles an hour.
"Our men have been arrested as
spies; they have been shot and
drowned, or nearly so; but II they
come back at all they come back with
the pictures. During that terrible ex-
plosion in Kingsisnd two of our men
were injured. The one who obtained
the pictures did so By setting up his
camera and then working with his
head under it. The machine was lit
orally riddled with shots and dying
pieces of metal, but the operator es-
capped unscathed.
THE difference between IN. reader
of a newspaper and the reader OF a
screen presentation is this: in reading
type the reader must transplant HIM
self 10 the scene Of the occurrance and
try to picture what is vaguely limited
in writing, while the viewer OF a pic
torial news event may sit in comfort
and have the scene brought 10 him.
Pictures obtained Of Pershing's ar
rival in France were rushed on 8
trawler to England. The photographer
obtained tho use Of submarine
chaser, overlook an American freighter
and the prints reached America seven
days later. The day after they reached
this country they were being shown in
the Eastern theatres. This is consid-
cred the most remarkable coup ever
accomplished by any motion picture
company.
"It is because OF the perseverance,
and pluck OF the camera men that the
government has finally come to recoG-
nils the value Of screen views and arc
giving their cooperation toward OBJ
tanning pictorial records Of historic
events. This ia the sge when every

TLISABETH RTSDON, who is known
IL as the English Mary Pickford,
says that she is not English at
all, but American. And she insists
that, although she was born in Eng
land, America must accept her or she
will be a woman without country.
"You must take me-" she said, pa
thetically, otherwise | am an outcast,
for England will have none of me-"
Miss Risdon need not worry: Amer
ica does want her.
Miss Risdon has very decided opin-
ions of her own, and she spoke rapidly
and enthusiastically of many things

an America, it seems to me that
you are always crying type One

quite different. There an actress or

wise it is not acting. If | resemble
facially and otherwise a character
which has been conceived in a scenario
or a play, am not playing a part; !

"For instance, every one says to me-:
why, you are not at all like Kate in

why. no. Why should | be? | should
not like at all to be like Kate. She was
clinging vine with vengeance, was
she not?
"When first read the story | told
Mr.. Caine that | never would essay

cases that make up the merciless story
of mans sin and womsn's weakness.

Miss Risdon's words carried convic-
ton, although it seems rather difficult
to understand her enthusiasm. To US,
motion pictures as a finished product
are fascinating beyond compare, but
! in the making never. Bare studios,
cameras and early morning sunlight
