WEATHER HALTS INITIAL SCENES
 IN BED ROCK
Extras To Get Chance In Meighan
 Film

Edward Sutherland, director in charge of the filming of scenes for the motion picture version of Jack Bethea's novel, "Red Rock" started actual pro- duction yesterday morning on Shades Mountain, near "Linger Longer Lodge," when several road scenes were taken Shortly after noon, weather conditions iuterferred and all work was called off for the day. It is expected scenes will be filmed in the vicinity of Newcastle Wednesday.
 Thomas Meighan, who will star in the picture, Lila Lee, who has the part of the heroine and Wallace Berry, cast as the william, did not work yesterday. Sutherland used a male member of the cast as double" for Miss Lee in a scene where two automobiles meet on a narrow mountain work. This scene was retaken fourteen times before the director was satisfied with the results
 It is believed mining scenes will be 'shot" Wednesday. If this is the case all principal members of the cast will be used, Director Sutherland said Tues day night. Invitations Extended
 |; Although a number of civic and fra ternal clubs have extended invitations to Mir. Meighan and Miss Lee, asking them to appear in person at meetings and social affairs, it is not believed the stars will accept any of them, because of the long hours and hard work neces ssry in the filming of scenes for the picture.
 The Community club has asked play CTS connected with the company to stage a short playlet at the Municipal auditorium. While Mir. Meighan and Miss Lee have given no definite promise cs yet, it is believed the stars will ac- cept the invitation. Members of the city commission Tuesday afternoon granted the movie folk the free use of the auditorium, after a resolution had been proposed by W. l.. Harrison, com missioner.
 Local People Used
 It was brought out Tuesday that sev- eral local people would be used as 'ex- tras" in the production of the picture. Among these will be Miss Anita Hodges, 20, of 11O3 Twelfth street, south, and Mrs. John L. Kennedy. Several men will be used as "extras" :l' scenes where miners are necessary Richard Harlan, assistant director, in
  parts, said Tuesday night he probably would use miners employed in the vicin- ity where the scenes will be taken.
 Miss Hodges has taken part in a number of local entertainments, having led the charity ball at the Birmingham Country club last fall and was a mem- Der of the cast in the Junior League Follies. Her part consisted of what is known in movie parlance as a 'charac- ter bit." That is, it establishes the theme of the story. Mrs. Kennedy was cast in a mothers part. James Ter bell, a member of the company, sup ported the two local people in the scenes in which they were cast.
 The first consignment of completed film was sent by special delivery to New York Tuesday night for develop rent. This film will be rushed back to Birmingham as quickly as possible. so Director Sutherland can go over it to see if retakes will be necessary.
