Statue of Liberty Makes
BACKGROUND for a Movie

The Statue OF Liberty in New York
harbor was used as the background
for the melting pot" scenes in Metros
patriotic special production, Draft
2sS,' starring Mabel Taliaferro.
Metro chartered the seagoing tug
"Downer" to transport more than
fifty players from the West Fifty-hrst
street pier to Bedloe's island. Turk,
Hindoo, Russian, Greek, Belgian,
Englishman, Frenchman, German and
scores OF other foreigners were seen
in their native garb.
On reaching the island, the alien
aggregation was grouped at the base
OF the statue in characteristic atti-
tudes, by Director William Christy
Cabanne. Then, as they all engaged
in the designated action, Cameraman
William Fildew took panorama of
the group, then tilted the camera and
photographed the statue from the
base to the torch, taking in the Amer
lean Indian Cart Ortega), who was
perched high above the other players
Unusual close-ups were taken of small
groups of the aliens, among them one
showing a German boy inducing his
father to shake hands with a
Frenchman as they all gaze with hope
at the symbol Of Liberty.
When the bugle sounded retreat"
players were grouped about tall flag
pole with the United States soldiers,
who are stationed on the island, in
the background. As Old Glory was
lowered to the accompaniment of tn,
bugle call, the future citizens DOTTED
their hats in respect to the flag un.
der which freedom reigns. This pa
triotic military ceremony was photo
graphed in its entirety.

are scarce. Another reason is that
the public prefers feature with one
or two-reel comedy or comedy and
short educational film; they like
the variety of it.
Yet another reason is that the ex-
hibitor finds such an evenings enter
tainment is best for him. He can give
two performances nightly while with
a long film he is only able to fill his
house once, and if he charges extra
he incurS the i'll will of his steady
patrons, and this is especially true in
small towns and with the suburban
theaters.
Most stories can be told in five reels
and closely knit story is far more
entertaining than long drawn out
feature with too much unnecessary
detail. In some cases an overlong
photoplay may crafty the ambitions
of a producer at the expense of its
commercial values, and in several
cases ten and twelve reelers have been
cut down considerably. Ramona" is
one instance, and taking four reels
from the original twelve improved the
feature rather than proved a detri-
ment
A demand is coming for good two
reel comedy-dramas and western
stories to fit in with. hve-reel features
and one-reel comedies, or it would
look that way.
Fashions" in photoplays come and
90. but one thing seems pretty GER
tain; the FIVE reeler is a solid GER
tainty. and will remain the popular
length for a feature photoplay.

BEST Looking Boy in Movies"
is Josie SedqWiCk, Pretty Girl

The best looking boy in motion
pictures is a girl. What Julian Ell
tinge has done with the straight-front
and high heels, she has done with the
pinchback and derby. Her reputation
is three names long and FINLAND
wide, for she is known as Joe or Josie
Or Josephine, and her last name is
Sedgwick.
One day she fell in the creek and
came out the handsomest boy the
films can offer. 1t wasn't that the
water had such wonderful properties
as it was the. chance they brought. A
company from the Triangle Culver
City studios was ION location" one
day not long ago.
y A iestful member of the company
crept up behind Miss Sedgwick as she
was watching minnows playing in the
water and pushed her in. When she
scrambled out she was thoroughly
water-logged. And it was a raw,
chilly day in late Novemebr.
1t was her good luck she did not
have change Of clothes at hand.
Nor did any other girl, excepting one
little pudgy girl. But there was an
extra suit of mems clothes. Miss
Sedgwick put them on while her own
garments were hung over campfire
and dried out again.
The director was absent at the time
of the prank. When he returned he
looked up the handsome stranger.
There's the best looking young
fellow that I've ever seen in pictures"
the director said, "and l want him for
my next picture"
He got him. too, and whenever
an exceptionally handsome youth is
needed the call goes out for 10, Josie
or Josephine. She is a member of a
famous family OF vaudeville players
and has such an abundance of good
looks II would take more than boys
clothes to side them, anyway.

Marie WalCamp After Own
Record for Daredevil Stunts

Marie Walcamp, heroine of the
Universal serial, Liberty" will have
an opportunity to repeat her success
IN the new continued photoplay,
The Red Ace" of which she is the
star.
Miss Walcamp proved her reckless
courage to the hilt in Liberty" and
she is out to beat her own record in
"The Red Ace" This blond young
lady looks like society girl, and you
would never suspect her of driving a
locomotive, looping the loop in an
airplane, riding unbroken horses, driv-
ing automobiles over cliffs, springing
from the back of racing steed to the
bough of tree overhead, or perform
ing any of the dangerous stunts which
take away the breath Of the most
hardened film spectator.
She is an Ohio girl, born in Den
nison, and educated there. One day
slle happened to visit picture studio.
where they were making western pic
lures. The opportunity to risk her life
every day was too great an appeal to
her love of daring, and she went to
the movies on the spot. Nor has she
ever regretted the step.
Her work in Liberty" was little
short of sensational, and she has now
set to work at once to outdistance her
own record for temerity in the new
serial, THE Rec Ace" We have seen
the first three episodes, and there is
so much action in it that it would be
folly to attempt description. After
you see the first episode you will
swear there will be nothing left for
the rest of the chapters, but each one
OF the three shown was better than
the previous one.

Urges KILLING
OF INCURABLES
Interesting Paper Read Before AS
senbled Medicos in Chicago

Chicago, Sept, 25.-Legalized eu-
thanasia, providing easy death for the
aged, infirm, and those suffering from
incura BILE maladies, was urged today
at the opening Of the sixth annual con-
vention Of the American association
Of Progressive Medicine, and received
the support of majority of the dele
gates.
+. DR.. w. A. Guild Of Des Moines read
a paper in which he advocated the
establishment of Federal or State COM
missions, with power to legalize the
putting to death of individuals Who
were absolutely past remedia measures
and desired to have their sufferings
ended.
II decided to urge this said DIR.
Guild when a man who had cancer
of, the tongue for seven weeks, day
after day, begged me for death. Be-
for the end came he almost cursed
me for forcing him to live a life which
was one long agony to him.
What we mean by 1egalized eu-
thanasia' is merely legalized easy
death. Adults who want to die, and
whose recovery is pronounced hope
less by a board of consulting physi-
clans, will be killed by some form of
anaesthesia Likewise, parents of a
young child may request its death
under similar circumstances.
Dr. Guild said there were 200, 900
persons in the United States at the
present time who were praying for
death.
After discussing D. Guilds paper
the association, by a vote of 81 to "a
passed a resolution to refer the sug-
eestion to a committee, with instruc-
lions to submit to the Legislatures of
every State recommendation OF action
favorable to the proposed legalizing
of euthanasia.
