TOWN Is "BORR0WED"
TO MAKE PHOT0PLAI

To make "The Face at Your Win
dow the big dramatic spectacle and
special production which is coming To
the Casino Theatre on Thursday and
Friday, William Fox borrowed the
town of Boonton, n. j., from the
mayor and council.
Boonton is a TYPICAL American man
ufacturing community, thirty miles
from New York. It's thriving fac
tories and busy streets made it or
ideal location for the thrilling scenes
of riot and pillage that THE Face al
Your Window" called for.
AS soon as Richard Stanton, the di
rector, read this story, written by Max
MARGIN, he announced that nothing
less than a whole town would serve
his purpose.
Help came from the United States
government. Mr. Stanton was invite |
to pick his town. He picked Boon
ton. A few days later Mayor Booth,
of Boonton, received Il letter from
Washington, inviting his cooperation
in the production of the picture. Next
day Mr.. Stanton was informed that
the streets of Boonton were his.
A company of 500 actors, extras,
electricians, cameramen,. property
men and location experts arrived in
town. They filled the hotels and owe:
flowed into private houses. A COM
pany of American Legion men pitched
camp on the outskirts of the town.
Then began Boontons ordeal
Night after night the inhabitants Of
the town were kept awake by the roar
of cannon and the rattle of rifle fire.
Factory buildings were erected and
burned down. A battery of sunlight
arcs flooded the streets with light.
Yelling mobs ran up and down. The
glare in the sky could be seen for
miles.
Did the good people of Boonton OBJ
ject? They did not.
