ested in learning that Cornwall bids
fair to rival California as setting
for moving picture scenes. This in
formation is given in a message re-

follows:
Cornwall threatens TO outrival
southern California as a film produc-
ing center. Along the Atlantic coast,
strange scenes of passion and pathos
have been enacted in the granite bas-
toned coyes of Cornwall, which is
rapidly supplanting CALIFORNIA; gold
en- plains as a setting for picture
dramas. The golden locked heroines
and heavily dyed Williams have be-
come quite common figures in the
switchback streets of the Cornish
cliffside villages. and the gentle purr
of the cinema camera has been heard
everywhere. mingling with the deep
burden of the. Atlantic breakers.
These film visitors have been well
coined by the Cornish native ms ,
