Good taste is sister of simplicity, the
mother of modesty and the eleventh
cousin of fashion. The difference be-
tween god taste and styles is that you
will not, be ashamed of good taste next
year.

Chapter XII.

Chapter XII.
Even antedating Spoor and Anderson,
Of whose meeting and partnership
made remark in my last chapter an
other ,Chicagoian began with very f1rst
of the pioneer producers to push his way
toward fame and wealth in the motion
picture industry. This man, whose
name is now known the world over, was
William N Selig, the present day head
of the Selig Polyscope Co.
From his first modest advent into the
motion picture field, Selig has proven
himself a man with the full courage OF
his convictions and a readiness at all
times to back up his Judgment with the
ever necessary cash. With the exception
of Hollamann's very early "Passlon
PLAY" Selig's Damon and Pythias" was
probably the first muitiple-reel produc-
tion ever filmed. Through financing ex-
petitions to China, Korea, Japan, India,
Africa and the Amazon river. he gave
the first extensive impetus to travel
ogues in this country. His The Ad-
ventures of Kathlyn," starring Kathlyn
Williams and received with unprece-
denied enthusiasm in every quarter,
gave introduction to the motion picture
serial and the idea of screening picture
plays in connection with serial stories
released contemporaneously in metro
politan newspapers.
However, there is still more i'm
portant matter to link Selig's name in
.le!ibly with the history of motion pic
t,re producing activities. 1t was his
scouts Boggs and Persons that blazed
the trail to California. In search for
better lgiht and better "the-year-
around" weather conditions than the
East afforded, they turned their faces
westward and in 1908 swung off the
train at the Los Angeles depot.
To give a faint idea of these two
mems earliest producing experience, I
quote to some length from. Otis Turner,
dean O; motion picture directors, and at
one time member of Selig's forces, al
though now with the Fox Studios in
Southern California. Turner writes:
"a comparison drawn between tia
present day picture concerns and the on
started by Boggs and Persons on the
roof of q mercantile establishment is

man, photoplaywright and stage cafpen-
for 10 he sure he had other work, but
it was of a more varied and less classl-
fed sort. AS for Persons, he also had
one of those nothin-t to do until -tomor-
row jobs. Primary he was manager OF
finances. which job at that time you may
be assured required no Alexander Hamll-
ton. He was also cameraman, business
manager, bookkeeper and wardrobe mis-
tress, while handling scenery and help
inc to write scenarios came IN as occa-
sional chores to fill those times when ne

"These two men constituted the or1-
ginal stock company and the regular sal
ary list of the first picture producing
company in Los Angeles. Nowadays 1T
takes at least that many men to prop
erly attend single camera, to say moth
ing of the assistant directors and the
assistants assistants and the property
man and the corps of grips and stage
carpenters, without which no studio is
complete.
However, despite the handicaps, and
there were more than could possibly be
chronicled here, the main fact is that
they did make pictures. How good they
were need not be mentioned, for in those
days no masterpieces were being made
under the most favorabl conditions. Sc
curing actors was out of the question.
They had To take anyone who was will
ing to work for the wages offered.
Makeup? There was no such animal.
A different suit made a different char
acter, and it required no genius to
change clothes. So the pictures were
made of them as long as one reel, and
some of them not"
Thus, due to the enterprise of Selig
and his two dauntless scouts, California,
where now 80 per cent at least of all
motion pictures are filmed, became a
producing center. Thirty-fve years be-
fore Muybridge had set his string of
cameras under California's sunshine and
snapped Occident as the horse trotted
down Senator Stanford's track. Since
then the idea, born of those snap shots
and grown into the motion picture in
dustry, had practically circled the globe
and pressed it's way into the most re-
mote corners thereof, and now, after due
season, it had come back unpretentiously
to the place of it's BIRTH to finally estab-
lish it's Mecca of future expansion and
growth.

crowd, but the mob would listen in
silence 10 an occasional speaker who
advocated the most unpopular point
Of view. There was moment, when
Lenin the veteran radical who came
home through Germany, was most
unpopular both with the provisional
government and the people; they
said he was jeopardizing the revo-
