This was the solemn warning

An ordinary five-reel picture, it
may be interesting to learn, contains
from l60 to 200 scenes. When The
Teeth Of the Tiger" by Maurice lie
Blanc, was originally made into
scenario for Famous Players-Lasky
by Roy Somerville, it was found that
the total number of scenes was SOL.
That necessitated a revision of the
script, with the result that the num-
Der of scenes has been cut down to
800 and the action consequently
speeded up.
