Entire Village Is
Burned for Scene

Pleasing the public is not as easy a
task as it appears upon the screen.
Often a scene is very costly, yet no
producer thinks of expense, In MAX
ing 1.-THE Ninety and Nine" which will
be shown at the America theatre to-
day, Sunday and Monday. Vitagraph
gave Director Smith cart blanche so
far as expense was concerned. He
was to produce n picture that would
stand out among the others of the
year as something different. some.
thing big. The main thrill of the pro.
duction is a forest fire which entirely
~envelops and burns up n good sized
town. Through the flames and smoke
the hero drives a locomotive to rescue
the people of the village. An entire
village was burned for the sequences.
This village was especially built for
V~itagraph in a deserted place where
danger of n big conflagration which
could no be checked was remote, and
then 1t was entirely destroyed by fire,

heat scorched his hair. and at times It

added to the realism, and when the
