ORIENTAL ATMOSPHERE
OFFERED IN new YORK

Gathered at the picturesque estate
of Alfred Herter. where Mrs. Enrico
Caruso, summer tenant, suffered the
loss of 100000 worth of jewels by
robbery, Corinne Griffith and her sup
porting company had some strange
and interesting experiences.
The site was selected by Nitagraph
scouts because of the Oriental scenes
and setting on the estate. These
served admirably as locations for
scenes in at Isn't Being Done This
Season." a new Corinne Griffith pro-
duction, which will be shown at
Moore's Garden Theater the last three
days of the coming week, in which
much of the action takes place on
the estate of wealthy Turk in
Smyrna. Some of the scenes were
taken in the room where the x4000
jewelry robbery was committed.
While the Oriental atmosphere
achieved by the artist owner of the
place was exactly what George l..
Sargent who directed the production.
was looking for. it was found neces-
sary. however, to construct an arti-
fetal lake. This was done and part
of the action filmed before dark on
the day of completion.
Next morning when the production
force started out to work again the
lake was gone. Some one suggested
that the robbers who got Mrs. Ca
ruso's jewels had come back and
stolen the lake. 1t was discovered.
however. that the water had made its
own escape. A new lake was pro-
vided. and the production went on.

clenched, and he Swore softly under
his breath. Then as silently as he
had come down, he commenced to
climb the stairs again. He had hazy
idea that he would like to hit some
thing-hard.
There were nine stairs in the first
half Of the flight, and it was as he
stood on the fifth that he again heard
the low chuckle. At the same instant
something whizzed past his head SO
low that it almost touched his hair,
and there was a clang on the wall be-
side him. He ducked instinctively,
and regardless of noise raced up the
remaining stairs, on all-fours. His
jaw was set like q wise, his eyes were
seeing red.
He paused when he reached the top,
crOuching in the darkness. Close to
him he could feel some one else, and
holding his breath, he listened. Then
he heard the man mOve-only the very

Without a seconds thought he sprang,
and his hands closed on human flesh.
He laughed gently; then he fought in
silence
His opponent was strong above the
average, but after a minute he was
like a child in Hugh's grasp. He
choked once or twice and muttered
something; then Hugh slipped his
right hand gently onto the mans
throat His fingers moved slowly
round, his thumb adjusted itself low
ingly, and the man felt his head being
forced back irresistibly. He gave one
strangled cry, and then the pressure

along the passage in the direction of

pulled up the blinds the light fell full
