Directing mob scene is one Of the
most difficult tasks of director. Take
for instance the mobs of several hun
dred persons as seen in Joan the
Woman. This picture was made un-
der the direction of c. B. De Mile and
one day when the writer happened to
be present Mr. De Mile was mounted
on a platform beside his camera man
without hat or coat yelling at the mob
which surrounded the pyre on which
Joan was about to be burnt. The bish-
OPP was approaching and. Mr.. De Mile
was shouting Here he comes. Now
remember he is big man and you
are afraid of him and you hate him.
Now talk about it, The mob, began
to gesticulate as Theodore Roberts
and his attendants moved toward the
seats on stand. But the mob did
not act to please the director and the
scene had to be done more than a
dozen times before orders were given
to the photographer to shoot the
scene"
Tricks.
Of course, many tricks are used to
produce the '.thrillers" such as the
destruction of an automobile contain
ing people: Now the movie companies
are not breaking UP good machines.
nor are the actors SO daring that they
are willing to be hurled off a cliff, so,
when two autos are to collide or one
is to run over a cliff. do not suppose
for one minute that the handsome
auto you have seen running along the
troad is the one which goes over the
cliff. When the auto reaches Ger
tain point the film is stopped and a
wood replica in which dummies are
seated takes its place. The Sdirector,
out of the range of the camera. sends
the wooden car over and at the bot
tom it is seen complete wreck.
Again the camera is stopped and the
injured people walk over and crawl
out of the wreck. AS none of the in
tervals are shown the illusion is per-
feet.
In picturing fires in interiors. smoke
pots are used and little or no damage
is done to the house. Even when tho
heroine is to be rescued the only dam
age is the breaking of a door or q
window as the smoke pots produce
lenough smoke to give all the horror
of fire. While many "supes'' are
used there are various devices to do
| away with human beings whenever
possible. A case of this came under

watching a girl bid her soldier sweet
heart goodbye He came into the
room and kissed her and then rushed
out to join his regiment, which was,
to all appearances, marching past the
house. The girl took her place at the
window and waved her handkerchief
as the row Of bayonets and spiked
helmets passed. A few minutes later
lin walking back Of the window, the
soldiers proved to be lot of spikes
and bayonets on a machine which re-
volved around and around: not hu-
man being was in sight but the pic
ture of q passing regiment was per-

Animal Actors.
Two of the California studios have
wild animal section and the meth
DDS of training the beasts as movie
actors would make an Interesting
book. Suffiee to say they are trained
rather by kindness than by brutality.
Many people will recall the .sAdven-
lures of Kathlyn.'' one Of the first
serial pictures produced with scenes
supposed to be laid in India, Kathlyu
williams was the star and during the
play she rode on an elephant like a
circus veteran and also had many en-
counters with wild animals. She is
today the most accomplished actress
in that particular line, as she handles
a leopard with as much ease as one
would handle a pet It. This type OF
work too has it's dangers and on one
occasion she came near losing her life.
She was in the act of STOPPING down
almost on top, of a tiger and when Il
turned she was to jump behind pro-
jecting rock. Something nliscarried
and the animal sprang at her. There
was no time to- escape and her scalp
was badly torn before he animal
could be beaten Off. It is not unusual
for movie beasts to rebel and trainers
are ever on the alert. Large tracts.
are set aside for the animal cages and
whenever you see animals roaming IN
the jungle on the screen you may feel
pretty sure that the jungle is inside
of one of the big animal cages in
Southern California. st~nFSy !
Aspirants for movie fame are many
and come to the California sttat1os
| from all parts of the United States
Many of them bring certificates from
elocution schools and letters from
prominent people. both of whicheare
of little value. for the movie~1ractor
is almost uncanny in bI knowledge
laf who's who for n1Gsias. Al

other. The feat was successfully ac-
complished, but the actress was laid
up for several days with a sprained
wrist and many bruises. At another
time she drove two horse prairie
schooner over some of the rodghest
country in California. When the drive
was over Miss Sweets hands were a
mass of cuts on account of the strong
pulling of the horses and the rough
lines.
Helen Holmes, who is familiar to
all movies fans for her work in the
Hazards of Helen, has had some mar
row escapes. Tor while many tricks
are played in movie work. Miss
Holmes actually carries out the "haz-
ards" in reality.
Mabel Normand. was once dashed
to a rock which jutted out where the
ocean waves touched her. While the
scene was being filmed huge wave
swept over her breaking the fasten-
ings and sweeping her against the
rocks on the beach Miss Normand
was badly bruised. and nearly
drowned before being rescued. Any
number of stories may be told of
strenuous acts and narrow escapes of
the movie actor whose director goes
lin for realism.

at first glance.
Hard Work And Risks.

of thrills and hard work, for scenes
are rehearsed many times before the
photographer is allowed to shoot"

Accidents sometimes happen. as in

Blanche Sweet has had some mar
