worth $150,OO0. Residents of that part of
Hollywood shrieked when they found that
Chaplin had got the place and was going
to build a studio. They protested on
aesthetic, material and all other grounds.
But within fifteen days after the compile

Outside the cottage, with her back to us,
stood a crookback witch peering into

while she applied dabs of fresh putty to

The guide took us around the corner of
the cottage and We came to another one
which had a front stoop. By the stoop
crouched Confederate soldier. He wore
a gray uniform with &C. S. A." on the belt,
forage cap, sword, square bowed spectacles
and short side whiskers. The witch went
over and joined him. The Confederate
groveled in the sand at her feet, then sud
denly leaped up, grasped the sword hilt
and marched off very fine and resolute.
Then he went back and did 1t again. He
said something to the witch and she leered
and clawed the air with wheedling fingers
twisting in front of his face. But he
waved her aside and disregarding her
mumbled curses, strobe away. He strobe

to youth waiting at the camera, "All

peated while the camera man cranked.
Then the soldier came forward smiling to
meet our guide.
Harold" said the guide, "you better
shake hands with this man. He's come
from New York to write UP the movies"
Good heavens!" cried Harold Lloyd, for
the "Secesh" was none other, "are we as
bad as that?'
He proved to be boyish, unaffected, lik-
able. He led forth his leading woman,
Mildred Davis, blue eyed, yellow haired,
fragile looking girl. She wished 1t to be
understood that she was indignant over
the published stories about Hollywood and
that lots of girls in the movies were just
like those she had known at finishing
school in Philadelphia. She dropped
curtsey and said precisely, Il am very glad
to have met you," before going to the auto
mobile which was to take them back into
the hills for other scenes of the new Lloyd
comedy. Mr.. Lloyd paused to explain that
the fragment we had just seen was part

"How long does 1t take you to make

"Well, we've been five months and half

"Why SO long," we said, knowing that
many pictures are completed in few
weeks. ...

There is no city in the ordinary sense,
nothing but the Universal plant, but its
completeness makes it film metropolis. To
the original $50 acres have recently been
added $50 more. Among its accessories
are menagerie and ranch with full
complement Of cowboys and Mexicans and
bronchos. not to mention mesquite and
chaparral.
In the course Of time a sojourn in the
studio country dulls ones appreciation of
marvels, but something came into our

the crest of a lofty HILL across the tons OF
the white buildings in the valley, we saw

hilltop Robinson Crusoe" is being filmed.
The reason was plain enough when given.
1t is cheaper to build ship on hill near
the studio than 1t is to go down to San
Pedro and buy or rent one. And on the
hill the camera. shooting always at a
background of sky, attains the desired
effect as Of an illimitable ocean. Opposite
