i" & MERICA' is said to embody more
distinct novelties in motion pic
ture production than any of the mas
terpieces of Griffith.
Because the production was under

tiers of the American Revolution, rep
resentatives of which were present at
the filming of the various scenes, and
through Secretary OF War Weeks the
United States Army co-Operated, Mr..
Griffith. to achieve the most meticu-
lous accuracy from n historical point
of view established a research bu-
reau to delve into the hist orical doCu-
ments housed in public and private
museums and collections throughout
the country. This staff of experts,
among whom are numbered leading
authorities on the revolutionary
period, have been required to settle
every mooted question in regard to
the most minute details Of the war
of independence.
Patriotic organizations throughout
the country, it is said, not only VOL
unteered their services in the re-
search work, but, defying custom and
tradition, took from museum cases
and private vaults which housed them
for years invaluable relics of the
revolution for use of the famous di-
rector, and so Mr. Griffith was able
TO use az properties for his scenes
antiques from the shrines of the revo-
luton which have never before been
photographed.
Instead of taking the scenes on one
location they were taken on the bat
tlefields where the action really took
place, and Mr.. Griffith, accompanied

Lights and the Ladies

"REWARE of the movies, girls:
IL they will make you fat" This
admonition has just been broadcast
from Universal City by Laura La
Plante, who is in training for kath-
lyn Norris character creation, But
terf1y."
An amazing discovery has been
made at Universal City in connection
with the work that an actress per-
forms under artificial lights in the
filming of interior scenes. 1t seems
that the work in the confined atmos-
phere of a set, under hot lights, would
be thinning" That's the logical con-
clusion. A hot, stuffy interior, sput-
tering bothersome lights and nerves
equals loss of Weight-as the ordi-
nary person would see 1t.
But Miss La Plante was discovered
several days in succession riding
around the trails of the back ranch"
at Universal City on a spirited black
horse. She seemed to crave much eT-
erciSe.
Coming to the conclusion that her
weight varied upward with work un-
der lights and downward when work

Music IN Movie-Making.

DIRECTORS who have symphonic
souls should wear ear-muffs dur
ing the filming OF pictures. Other
wise their attention is likely to be
distracted by strains that are dis
cordant
Such is the opinion OF Director
George Archainbaud. who selects his
own musical compositions in order
to prevent any distortion Of his men
tai vision.
Archainbaud says:
