Monte M.sKatterjohn is in New
York, where he is making the final
arrangements for the filming of his
big epic Alaska production, based
on his book, Hearts of the SIAM
pede."
Katterjohn utilized more time in
creating and preparing the adapta-
ton for this production than any
Il of his former screen plays, in
GLIDING the well-known Alaska
shadow plays, The Flame of the
Yukon" and Carmen of the Klon-
dixie" Two years were utilized in
the preparation, which marks an
epoch in cinema creations.
1t is stated that this Alaskan spec
tacle will cost more than $250.00O
to film and three months will be
required to properly stage it. 1t is
to be the most elaborate story ever
sketched of the far northland. Kat
terjohn adds that the purchase Of
Alaska, originally called Russia's
"ice box" from the original owners
at less than cents an acre. for the
round sum of 81, 100000, which in
minerals alone has yielded more
than I$35.000000, furnishes a SPLEEN
did setting for the love story in his
play. He also adds that mis- Incl
