Rough Riders to Give
Information For Movie
of That Great Outfit
(BY Disnatch A. P. WireN

NEW YORK, Jan. 1S.-The rough
riders who fought with Roosevelt are
to answer another roll call. Herman
Hagedorn, director of the Roosevelt
Memorial association, left today on a
trip through the southwest to round
up veterans of the regiment and to
get material from them for a motion
picture of "Teddy's" fighting days.
Hagedorn also hopes to find man
who looks enough like the Roosevelt
of that time to impersonate him in
the picture, which will be made by
the association in collaboration with
the Famous Players-Laslzy corpora
ton.
'The story of the Rough Riders is
one of the richest, most human and
most attractive episodes in American
history-the most strikingly Ameri-
can," Hagedorn said. 'I want to get
SSse story straight in facts and spirit.
I am therefore going to hunt the
Rough Riders who have yarns to tell
and hear directly from them the part
they played"
The quest, he said, will lead him
into Arizona, Texas, Oklahoma, New
and California. The hardest
task, Hagedorn said, will be to find
a man like Roosevelt, both in appear
ance and manner.
