Film Novelties

Norma Talmadge's newest picture,
THE Heart of Wetona," a screen ver-
sion of the David Belasco play, will
have its first presentation here at the

at the Idyllwild studio when it looked
as though the snow would come and go
before the picture was finished. 1dyll-
wild is an Indian reservation 5000 feet
above the sea level Chief Darkcloud,
who was scheduled to play Quannah in
this Indian story, succumbed to the
ravages of influenza. 1t took several
days to find another Indian who could
play the part. After a deal of coaXing
and prompting. he managed to get
through the difficult part in a manner
that called forth praise.
Another calamity occurred when the
big corn dance scene was staged. The
weather was so hot when the scene was
put on that Miss Talmadge almost
tainted. but she rallied her nerve and
kept on the job. Later in the day,
during the sensational OK chase, one
of the Indians horses stumbled. piling
up ten horses and as many redskins in
a heap.
Dandy belt, eh?" said Louis Benn-
sion as he picked his holster belt. And
look at the gun l bought today. Isn't
she a beauty?"
Out of the brass-st studded holster he
brought out a wicked-l looking shiny
black affair with a long barrel, which
he wiggled at the press agent. The
scene was the Betzwood Film Com
pany's studio, where they were making
the picture, SANDY Burke, of the
