Filming Novels.

IN a recent pamphlet issued by the
national board of film review, COM
mittee for better films, a startling
fact was published regarding it's re-
search into the entertainment value
of various photoplays, conducted in
twenty-seven cities. One Of the pic
lures. for example, THE Sheik," was
an exceptionally popular film adapted
from a widely read novel.
1t was found that persons who had
read the book were disappointed in
the picture, while those who had not
read it were much pleased!
This upsets the established theory
concerning the advertising and en-
value of adaptations"
but 1t may account for many things
that have been puzzling film pro-
ducers.
Theatergoers have been disap
pointed in pictures without quite
realizing why. To follow the sig
nificance of this revelation 1t would
appear that a general satisfaction
on the part of the book and magazine
reading public will follow the filming
of published novels and stories.

And some of the companies which
used to handle comedies and short
subjects have cut them out entirely.
The twenty-five comedies we have
selected for reissue are the best we
have and have been re-edited and re-
titled. Featured in them are Ben
Turpin. Charlie Murray. Marie Pre-

WHEN Col. Selig, one of the pio-
neers of the motion picture game,
produced Rex Beach's epic of Alaska,

ing part, that of Roy Glennister. The
picture was a worldwide success,
and so was Farnum.

Upon leaving the little theater, the
actor seized Milton Sills, who inter-
prets the role of Glennister in the
Goldwyn version, and congratulated
him.

CTYLES, like stories, originate from

A story writer sees or hears some

devised three unique gowns, all of

After quitting camp at Guadalupe
Mr.. DeMille took his company TO

taken on the bed of an immense dry
lake in the Motave desert, showing
the headlong dash of ESQ Egyptian
chariots after the Israelites. This
will cut in with the art of the chariots
at Guadalupe and will be one of the
most spectacular scenes of the pro-
duction.
Scenes made at Portuguese Bend
represent opposite sides of the Red
sea and show the Israelites just after
crossing. The scenes at Anaheim

into play and showed the onrushing
vehicles stopped by the pillar of fire

Pola and Scenery.

TWO dozen ostrich plumes, some
trailing on the ground, were used
in making a unique fan carried by
Pola Negri in a scene for THE Cheat"
in which she stars. This fan was
made so that one end was composed
of short plumes while the others
sloped downward till the other ex-
treme was reached. They were of
rich brown hue to match the brown
velvet gown of fantastic design, with
gold cloth applique and collar. The
outfit was in keeping with an oriental
setting in this Fitzmaurice produc-
ton.
The setting was one of the most
elaborate ever constructed at the
studio. 1t was designed by George
Hopkins. $500 or more toy balloons
were used, some as clusters of grapes,
others dropped from above in a
shower.
A fountain played during the en-
tire scene and 5,465 gallons of water,
approximately, ran through it during
the time.
The 800 minor players, all in ori-
