ed, the bird to be photographed
will have flown from range. Only
through good luck, photographers
have declared, have they been able
to get good results.
Alfred Gilks, who photographed
"Blubeard's Eighth Wife," a Sam
Wood production for Paramount
starring Gloria Swanson, .simpli-
fled this bugaboo during the max
ing of the photoplay. Called upon
for a shot of sea gulls darling
through the air, he first set his
camera and made al 1.-The neces-
sary adjustments. Then he had
a small shed built on the shore
which concealed himself and his
camera and made all the neces-
chopped remains of several fish
on the beach, then retired into his
shed and waited. Within ten min
: utes, Gilks had dozen sea gulls
in front of him on the beach. 1t
was then an easy matter for Di-
rector Wood to dash suddenly to-
ward the birds, frightening them.
AS they flew into the air and out
of Woods path, Gilks turned the
camera crank, producing some ex.
cellent results.
