MORE MOVIE MONEY, MYRTLE

reel shown, the genial manager pays
into the Governments Golfers, a one
dollar bill. Of course, this means
that the public will have to assist Mr..
Davis to meet the increased tax and
so it will cost us 20 cents to see the
Handsome Desmond or the fair Miss

Is cents. The new price will be in
vogue November /.

Cecil B. De Mile staged what is ex- pected to prove the most thrilling bat tie never enacted before the camera. The complete battle scenes. which are part of the spectacular photodrama The Woman God Forgot took several days to film, and every day the toll of wounded increased. Owing to the strenuousness of the struggle many of the contesting parties fell from the top of the pyramid down the side of the set, which stood two hundred feet high. One of the horsemen, in attempting to ride up the long flight of stairs, offered sev- eral thrills which were not mentioned in the script. The incline on which the animal endeavored to climb was so steep that it fell over backwards, car rying the rider with it and falling over several struggling warriors.
 The largest battery of cameras ever used on scene was in operat ton on these battle views, and not a detail was overlooked. Many wounded men were taken in hand by the staff of physi- clans, and various painful injuries were sustained, although the doctors report no serious cases.
 De Mile, a high platform and with megaphone, a dozen assistants and a telephone transmitter attached to his chest, directed the big scenes several hundred feet away from the set, where his view of the entire proceedings was perfect. Not an opportunity for a thrill missed his attention. and on several oc- casons he rushed special camera men to points of vantage for close ups of startling bits of realism. Thousands of people gathered on the surrounding hills to view the spectacular scenes and many sensational sights were af- torded them as men and horses strug- Sled high in the air and tumbled down from the battlements
 On another platform near the one on which De Mile stood was seated the star Geraldine Farrar, and her person. al staff. A telephone line connecting her with the director was attached to her chair and several occasions she offered suggestions that were highly beneficial to the producing staff. These scenes are said to out thrill anything Of this kind ever staged not excepting the startling views in Joan the Wo- man."
