COMPLETE CIRCUS
HIRED FOR THIS

Staging a fulI-fledged circus
for ,notion-picture purposes Is
not always quite as easy as it
sounds. Under ordinary circum-
stances, q cemeraman is sent TO
the nearest show, q number Of
scenes are photographed and are
inserted In their proper places in
the finished story. Herbert
Brenon, the Paramount director.
however, encountered q vastly
different proposition when he
went to produce William j.
Locke's novel, AThe Mounte-
bank, which comes to the
screen at Loew's Palace tenor
row afternoon for weeks en-
gngement.
In this story, much OF the
action deals with incidents that
occur before, during and after q
circus performance. In other
words, Brenon was up against
the proposition OF chartering an
entire circus for the picture and
as Il happened to be circus time
when he went to work, he found
that II was next to impossible
70 find a circus that could afford
TO take the time necessary.
Arrangements were finally made
TO hire an entire troupe incIud-
Ing the ancient but noisy hurdy-
gurdy, the lemonade stands, the
enormous tent, the animals and
what not. Then the entire out

In making "Wanderer Of the

the audience would not have to
