Film Making Delayed by
Atmospheric Conditions

WHEN Percy Hilburn, the camera
w man of the Goldwyn company that
journeyed to Banff, Canada, to take
the snow scenes in the Reginald Bar
ker production Of Katharine Newlin
Burt's photoplay, "Snowblind, swung
blfthely on the train that took him
north, he little dreamed that he would
get about three hours sleep every night.
But atmospheric conditions in Canada
were such that all the unexposed film
became electrically charged, which re-
suited in white streaks showing on the
negative when it was developed.
Consequently, Mr.. Hilburn had to
send to the Goldwyn studios, in Culver
City, Calf, for new lot of film; and
every night, when the twenty six play
ers were smuggling in their two by -four
rooms, he carefully examined every foot
Of film that was to be exposed the fol-
lowing day. Every inch of film that
showed the effect of the electricity in
the atmosphere was discarded and no
more trouble was encountered because
of the raw stock.
But when Mr.. Hilburn returned to
the studios he was promptly given a
short vacation.

Thus groaned Claribel the New York

spends most of her time fitting gowns

Mon Dieu," sighed Celeste over In
Paris, when she, too, received a mes
sage that she must reduce eighteen
pounds in order to keep pace with the
svelte lines Of Pauline.
For Pauline Frederick, admittedly
the best dressed actress in the pictures,
has two models of the same size and
weight as herself who do little else than
fit gowns for her. One of them is in
New York and one is in one of the
smartest dress making establishments in
Paris.
The moment new material has left
the designers hands the moment new
style Is created, long before even the
trade has seen 1t, telegram is dis

Then follow letters with samples of
material and photographs. Miss Fred
erick goes over these carefully, makes
her choice. cables or wires, and later
there arrives at her Beverly Hills home
in California q package containing
everything ordefed-and 1t all fits to
perfection!
That's because of Claribel In New
York and Celeste In Paris.
The most interesting part of this
whole little venture Is that both models
have to follow carefully Miss Freder-
ick's progress as regards weight A

Miss Frederick THE girl who Is eager

INMOONEYCA
ADMITS PERJURY

Mooney, convicted Of murder in San
Francisco, in connection with the
Preparedness day bomb explosion in
1915, early today telegraphed San
Francisco authorities apprising them
of an alleged confession by one of
the witnesses in the case that he had
given perjured testimony at the trial.
A special grand jury now is investi-
eating an alleged conspiracy to con-
vict Mooney.
The witness was named by Mr.
Walsh as John Mcdonald, now resi-
dent of Trenton, N. j., with whom
Mr.. Walsh had long conference
last night. According. to Mr.. Walsh
Mcdonald declared in an affidavit
covering thirteen typewriter pages
that the case against Mooney was
"frame-up."
MCDONALD swore in his confess
sion," Mr.. Walsh said. that he could
not identify Mooney as the man he
had seen with suit case prior to
the Preparedness day explosion, al
though he identified Mooney during
the trial. He said District Attorney
Fickert, the San Francisco prosecu-
tor, had forced him to make the iden-
tification."
Mr. Walsh quoted Mcdonald as
saying. he stood in Stewart street.
near the corner of Market, in San
Francisco, about 1 o'clock on the aft
ernoon of July %, 1916. He said
he saw a man set a suit case on the
sidewalk, then, accompanied by an
other man who came from a saloon,
walk away.

Market street, and in a short time
heard an explosion. He thought 1t

bration Next day he met police
man named HeXtron and told him
what he had seen, but asserted he
could not identify the man.
He was induced, Mr.. Walsh quot
ed further, to go to police headquar-
tiers where he was questioned by Dis
trict Attorney Fickert and Captain

He Subsequently was taken to
Moneys cell and to that occupied
by Billings, another defendant. He
asserted, according 60 M Mr.; Walsh,
that Fickert remarked: These are
