RIDE
OF P. REVERE
HELD UP

A sea-sick horse postponed the
ride OF Paul Revere from Boston
to Lexington and Concord while
ID. w. Griffith was there taking
scenes for his historical film,
America" which will be repeated
at Polls Theater next week.
A committee of Lexington and
Boston historians had agreed upon
the color OF the horse Revere
rode, one that contradicts most
OF the paintings. When the color
was decided, the horse was or.
dered from New York and ar
rived by boat through a stormy
voyage. The streets were filled
with spectators to watch the
reproduction of the historic ride,
but when the horse appeared, it
still had the illusion of being on
the deck OF a tossing ship.
Lexington entered so heartily
into the making of the picture
that all the male descendants of
the Minute Men were conscripted
from their work by summons
from the Lexington Historical
Society to appear as their fore
fathers did in the fight on Lex
ington Common. They were
dressed in exact replicas of the
costumes their ancestors wore,
many Of them armed with guns
that were heirlooms in their
families.
The same drum that William
Diamond beat on the morning the
British soldiers entered the vii
lage was beaten again to marshall
them into action.
When the scenes Of the hanging
OF the lanterns in the Old North
Church were taken, the narrow
streets in the district were crowded
with people who started singing

which was directed by Paul Sloane,
who made big Brother and
over the HILL" The cast includes
Virginia Valli as Mr.. Meighan's
leading woman; Laurence Wheat,
Charles Dow Clark, George Nash,
David Higgins, Dorothy Walters,
Margaret Seldom and others.
In this picture Mr.. Meighan
assumes the role of a confidence
man who, in his effort to victim
ize a small-town millionaire with

zens and girl in particular that
when the time comes to engineer
his financial coup he finds himself
unable any longer to steer the old
crooked course.

Of weather conditions. 1t may
be 100 degrees above Fahrenheit
and you may have to wear a fur
overcoat, or it may be 20 below
zero and you may be required to
run around in the open in a bath
ing sMit.
AllN things considered, it's a
great life If you don't weaken.
Don't let a little thing like hard
work and exacting conditions
brighten you. One succeeds where
hundreds fail TO get farther than
the prologue. .
Now that you have received my
personal tip. I have only one
other suggestion: Prior to your
movie career. pick out a good,
strong bank and reserve space for
your salary, which will likely re-
quire a detachment Of the ma
rines to insure safe escort to the
vaults. If I were in your place,
I would not think Of asking less
than a million a week. To one
with movie aspirations the salary
is no object as long as it runs in
six or eight figures.
AS I am in the movies and
must eat, I'll now go back to
work. l thank you.

Now that you are in the movies
I'll tell you what to do next. Do
not take your work seriously as
you may be cast for an extra
role in a serial where you are
shot in the first episode. Again,
you may have to play the part of
a deep-sea diver and be drowned
in the second reel. The chances
are thousand to one that you
will have to shuttle off this mum
dane celluloid sphere long before
you have gotten very far in the
picture.
By all means buy an alarm
clock. You are often called at 8
or a. m. to ride far out in a
rainstorm or stand at attention
in blizzard as motion pictures
demand atmosphere and storms
and billiards are natural atmos-
pheric properties.
