Hints on Amateur Production

7yHE great initial expense for amateur
L film making is. of course, the outlay
required to buy a camera. In most
towns of any size there are now pro-
fessional film cameramen who work for
the news reel companies and who may
be hired for u comparatively small sum.
II, however, you desire to make your
photoplay an entirely amateur affair,
you can buy disable second hand
camera for outdoor work for as low
On a hundred dollars.
Some one of your associates must
make it his business to learn to run
this camera with sufficient skill to in
sure that your film will not be wasted.
The next important outlay is that
Of the film itself. Film costs about
elsven or twelve cents foot when de-
ysloped and printed. Therefore the
cost of production depends largely upon
the length of your picture. For a first
attempt we should advise you to keep
your photoplay within 1000 feet, oil
two reels.

best. 1t Is a matter of artistic percep-
tiOn rather than any set rule.
TF YOUR scenario calls for an out
L door picture-for example, cow
boy story-which does not require CO.'S
tunes, you should be able to make 1t
for a thousand dollars, provided your
amateur actors and amateur Cameraman
and amateur authors are working for
nothing. There are mighty few amateur
theatricals of any pretension whntsO-
ever which do not cost as much as this,
and you should be able to take in n
good profit If your picture Is exploited
in your local city.
AS matter of fact, pictures have not
! always been produced on the scale that
they are today. Ten years ago feature
pictures cost from $4,000 to $1,000 to
make, and in those days film and cam
eraS were much more expensive. The
producers simply made outdoor pictures
which required no lights or scenery, and
saved on the salaries of actors and di-
reCtOrs, which have multiplied twenty
times since then.
Today the average feature picture
costs from $50, 900 to $3.50, 900 to pro-
ducc. One recent motion picture cost

is because the salaries of actors. direc
tors and authors have risen so enor-
mously.
But there is no reason why an anna :
teur company, in which the cost of sal :
aries Is completely eliminated, cannot
make its own picture at minimum
expense. If you want to break into
the motion pictures here is a way tc
DO it right in your own home town.

NEED WHITE GUARD
IN TAMPICO, HESAYS
Gen. Pelaez. Federal COmman-
der. Explains Their Work
i'm Oil Districts.

MEXICO CITY, Feb. 1s.--Orgatization
of white guard by petroleum work
ers in the Tampico region does not con-
stltute "a humiliation for Mexico" said
a report filed yesterday at the War
Once by Gen. Manuel Pe,aez, Federal
In that district.
In discussing the general situation
Gen. Pelacz declared the guard, al
though composed largely OF foreigners,
was tnnder Mexican leadership and thus
far had operated solely as a defensive
organization. He declared such body
of men was needed because of the di-
rnin!shed number OF Federal troops in
the region, which had given rise to a
certain amount OF disorder
He explained that within the last few
months he had dismissed from the army
more than 1000 soldiers. which had left
him with only 1,400 men TO police the
entire Tampico district, and he asserted
this force was wholly inadequate. A
white guard was necessary under
present conditions, the General declared,
and he added that in all cases he found
members Of the force subservient to
Mexican military regulations.
