Mr.. Biney evidenced an interest In
the historical subject, and at his re-
quest various works were forwarded
to New York by the Bear Creek physi-
clan Upon his return to the state. The
reading of the works on territorial his
tory WAS followed by a personal visit
to Virginia City and other points in
! Montana by Mr.. Binney in June, 1921
and the data secured was sufficient
! to convince him that here was ma
terial for a production, not excelled in

. a Nation" or other great historical
! photo-dramas which have attained pre-
eminence.
Situations Ideal
After an exhaustive research and
survey of the situations pertaining tc
| the production, Mr.. Binney proceeded
to the Pacific coast to complete con
tracts which he had under way, anC
determined to make of the Vigilante
film his masterpiece, and to that enc
came to Montana recently to continue
his plans.
Sincne 1908 Mr.. Binney has beer

Having for its initial effort the film
ing of q spectacular photoplay founded
on the activities of the Montana V1g-
ilantes, the Vigilante Motion Picture
corporation has been formed at Hell
ena, with Harold j. Binney, prominent
director and producer in the movie
world, as its head. The company has
been incorporated for $250,0OO. the
secretary of state having granted a
charter last week.
Whenever the early history Of the
Vigilante days is recalled, with its
thrill of romance and adventure, the
subject of a movie scenario comparing
with the most spectacular of all pro-
ductions naturally suggests itself ana
hundreds of Montana and readers OF
Montana territorial history have ex-
patiated on the possibilities of such a
production.
It was a suggestion on the subject
by J. c. F. Siegfreidt of Bearcreek
upon meeting Mr.. Binney in New York
more than four years ago that culmin-
ated in the formation Of the corpora
ton in Montana for the purpose of
carrying out the enterprise, which
promises to be one of the greatest
achievements of filmdom.
Or. S%iegfreidt's Proposal
Following his discharge from the
army medical staff, upon the signing
of the armistice in 1913, DR.. Siegfriedt
CHANGED to meet Mr.. Binney, who was
engaged in production of the famous
Harold Lockwood pictures in New
York. On a visit to the Binney studio
DIR. Siegfriedt, with characteristic
Montana enthusiasm, recited bits o.
the history of the Vigilantes, nnt
called attention of the director anc
producer to motion picture possibilities

lane Novak to Send
Her Photographs to
Girls Named Thelma

SIS the name 'Thelma' as popular
today as it was rs years ago when
Marie Corelli made it famous" asks
Jane Novak, the sweet, old fashioned
girl of the movies" who is now being
starred In a special screen production
of the novel, under the direction of
Chester Bennett at the Robertson
Cole studios.
During the last month ! have re
ceived scores of letters from girls
named Thelma, congratulating me on
securing the famous novel to produce
for the screen. It is extremely odd
that the majority of the writer's men
ton the fact that they were named
after the heroine of Marie Corelli's
story.
I'm these days of Dorothys, Bar
baras and Patricias ] wonder if the
name of Thelma is still popular with
the mothers? Because of feminine
, curiosity and because of the fact that
many writer's have made the following
request, j am going to send special
photographs of myself in the costume
Thelma wore in her native Norway
when her pagan viking father still
ruled secretly among his people, to
every one who bears the name, and TO
every mother who has named her
| daughter Thelma."
This romance of the glorious daugh-
ter of q Norwegian viking with an
| English aristocrat is generally CON
| sidered to be Marie Corelli's most
famous book. One of the most popu-
lar novelists Of literary history, Marie
| Corelli's fame reached its height in the
| United States In the late nineties and
the first years of this century, when
.'rhelr,a" created a sensation. The
very name was swept into tremendous
popularity.
Whether '"Thelma" still endures as
a favorite name for girls will be de-
terriined by Jane Novak's interesting
g. periment
