discussing tho scenario.
THE PHOTOPLAY
Hall Calne turned wrong sldo out served
with pretty lovo sauce a la Bertha Clay.
"How that faked-up scenario did prove
a blessing! It wns our refuge our shel'
ter In n time of storm. Every time a
permit was withheld with particular stub
bornness1 we rushed back to Innermost
headquarters where they kept our lovely
scenario, and drew from them tears of
sympathy at our hardships and our Inno
cence. "You sec, the street enr strike, prac
tically n revolution, broke loose three
days after our nrrlval, Itad It been
known wo were doing 'The Ktornal City,'
tho police would then liaVo been after
us so hard wo wouldn't be hack In Amer
ica yet. How did wn get those noclallstlo
mob scenes? We put them off till the
very last. Then, nrwed with a permit
born of our Innocent scennrlo, we hired
our mob the real thing-ready waiting
for us. One of our men made play-acting
socialistic speeches. Our mob took those
speeches seriously nnd gavo us a lino per
formance. In fact, they warmed up so
well that we let no grass grow beneath
us once those scenes wero done. Quickly,
we went away from there and out of
Italy. Italian authorities, you see. are
mercurial and moody."

The Story of a Proxy Scenario
A stout gentleman of benevolent aspect
watched the unusual line that colled out
from tho ticket window of a theatre In
Chestnut street yesterday. You would
hardly have suspected him of being one
of those who market their Imaginations
for e. snlnry. Otherwise put hi did not
look like a "rainbow chaser."
"Rainbow chaser, did you say7" ex
claimed this lino watcher. " 'Glant-ktlllng
Jack' Is a better way to designate our
troubles tn getting the picture this crowd
Is out to see. This part is a rainbow all
right. But It all looked moro Hko a ty
phoon until that day when, our task ac
complished, wo stepped softly and swiftly
out of Italy, lest authority No. 3023
should decide at the 11th hour to confis
cate our films."
Tho speaker was Edwin S. Porter, and
he referred, of course, to civic compli
cations In getting a photographic present
ment of Hall Calne's "Eternal City" on
Italian soil.
"It Is n book absolutely tahoeed by
tho Italian authorities," continued Mr.
Porter. "Thov regard It as mlschlcf-breed-lng
propagandist fiction, striking nt their
faith and their Ideals. It Is. of course.
nothing1 of the sort. It Is Just a rattling
good romance. Yet you may bo certain
that when our Famous riayers Company
reached Rome we kept mum about Hall
Calno nnd his work. Wo told tho au
thorities that wo'd just come over to
get a little Italian lovo story In tho
proper setting for tho Americans, who so
loved everything really Italian.
" 'Charming,' replied tho authorities.
" 'Of courso tho Slgnorl will wish to file
their complete scenario with us that we
may help them In every wny we can!'
"Here was n rub. My co-dlrcctor, Mr.
Ford, and myself did some of the hard
est thinking wo ever did. In 10 days'
time we had completed a fake scenario
that explained our socialistic mob scenes
nnd accounted for our liberal need of
the Vatican and other forbidden locali
ties. It was a scenario in every respect
the dramatic opposite of the one we
meant to act before tho camera. It was

Tho review of troops, In which several

front, a regiment chaplain holding serv
ices, details of besieged Antwerp, flashes
of armored motorcars manned by Bel
gians and n German field battery In
action.
A French bayonet charge and nn at
tempted flnnklng movement provided a
thrill or two, while Red Cross dogs Book
ing wounded soldiers after a battle pleased
the humanitarians.
Thero were nlso vivid sights of ambu
lances transporting tho wounded from
tho front, tho striking of a water tower
by a shell, tho sultan of Turkey rovlewlng
his navy, Germans building n pontoon
bridge, French prisoners bound for a de
tention camp and tho arrival of tho Brit
ish life guard, the later evoking plaudits
galore.
The latest motion pictures of tbn war,
which nre being presented for tho first
time In the. United States nt the Forrest
Theatro under tho auspices of tho IIvbs
ino I,kdoer, give 11 comprehensive nnd
intimate view of the German nnny In
field and In camp. A few of tho pictures
show Belgian nnd French troops In action,
but most of thorn were taken within the
German lines nnd show various episodes ;
from tho Knlser's review of n division on
a road In France anil u Unvnrlan cavalry
chargo to tho departure of recruits from
1 Berlin and a Frusslan ofllccr eating fcoup.
Tho plcturo of tho Kaiser reviewing his
troops Is tho most remarkable ot the
group. The enmera wns placed less than
two yards from the War Lord nnd It
cnught not only every motion ho made,
but nlso every expression of tho troops
ns they goose-stepped past. Tho nilora-
tlon with which tho soldiers fattened tholr
eyes on their monarch until somo of them
even forgot to keep step awoke a respon
sive thrill In every person In the bouse.
Other pictures filled with tho dash of war
wero a Bavarian cavalry charge, the
blowing up of u bridge over tho River I,ys
nnd a light between the French and tho
Germans for another bridge over the samo
river.
The pictures of heavy German guns In
nctlon nnd of Belgian quick-firers nnd
armored trains nro sueh as have grown
familiar through previous photographs of
tho war.
There Is ono glimpse of German soldiers
In a French village picnicking with
French women nnd children, nnd the per
formance closes with a vlow of tho monu
ment which tho Austrlans already havo
erected to their dead. Tho pictures show
tho llfo of the Gorman nrmy tt Its best
and are likely to arouso a friendly feeling
toward tho Kaiser's troops In all who see
them.

War Pictures at Forrest
Motion pictures of the conflict now rag
ing In Kuropo were on view at the Forrest
last night nnd an nudlonce of large pro
portions watched with deep Interest tho
ever-changing scenes, Somo ot the pic
tures sent thrills through tho body, so
stilklngly real nnd full of actual war
atmosphere were they. The majority of
the pictures aro said to have been taken
by a corps of German photographers at
tho command of tho Emperor, who Is de
sltous of preserving the tragedies of the
struggle for futuro generations ns showing
the chivalry and valor of his countrymen.
In Bomo instances tho camera men took
desperate chances to secure the object of
the quest, tho pictures showing tho hur
ried movement to escape tho hoofs of the
galloping horses. Many of tho scenes de
pleted tho havoc wrought by the shelling
ot cities, tho wanderings of the unfor
tunnto refugees searching for a place to
call homo ! tho battlo raging between tho
contesting armies and many other Intimate
glimpses of tho terrific struggle. An at
tempt was made to describe somo of tho
pictures, but tho lecturer was scarcely
sufficiently conversant with his subject to
undertake tho task.

War Films at the Forrest
Scenes from war torn Europe were shown
with startling reallBm nt tho Forrest The
atre last night, In a series of films, most
of which were exhibited for the first time
In this city. While the usual request was
made that applause be omitted, In con
formity with a strict observance of neu
trality, the appearance of the Kaiser ns
the principal figure In a review of German
troops proved too etrong for the restraint
of aerman sympathizers In tho audience.
On the other hand, when the English
guards, who went to aid the Belgians tn
the defense of Antwerp, appeared on the
screen, those who lean toward the cause
of the Allies gave a warm round of hand
clapping. A charge of Bavarian cavalry across an
open field which brought the horses close
up to the camera was a prime number of
the program, while the German heavy
artillery, In action, was another unusual
picture. Many of the films were taken
during the bombardment and fall of Ant
werp. Among them were action pictures
of both the Belgian and German troops,
the destruction by the Belgians of a bridge
across the Blver Scheldt after the evacua
tion ot Antwerp, and the burning of the
great oil tanks at Hoboken, near Antwerp.
Another reel showed the heavy guns on
board a British battleship shelling Belgian
coast towns occupied by the Germans.
Crown Prince Rupprecht, of Bavaria, was
ono of the notables who appeared. There
were many films depicting the men In the
trenches, and scenes in the rear of the
great armlos.
While soma of the films obviously had
been posed for, there were others in
which the action was apparently unstudied
and taken close to the front, within the
region of danger.

War Pictures Forrest
Numerous startling features of the Eu
ropean war wero vividly portrayed by
motion pictures shown nt tho Forrest
Theatre yesterday afternoon and evening.
Many of these pictures wcro taken under
fire, and In somo Instances tho operators
of tho picture machines had their Instru
ments destroyed by shots. The pictures
wero almost entirely confined to the Bel
glum field of operations and covered a
wide variety of movements, from tho
transportation of troops to tho caro of the
wounded In hospitals and tho occupations
of prisoners In tho detention camps.
There were numerous thrills In tho views
of actual conflict, where lines of op
posing BOldlery met slaughter. An excel
lent Idea of the modern method of con-,
ducting a great war was given to ad
vantage. The trenches wero not over
looked, nor the commissary arrangements
by which the armies nre enabled to live
and to refresh themselves and prepare for
further hardships.
A notable film depicted the Kaiser re
viewing his troops at the front, The
Kaiser and his officers stood along a road
while company after company of his fight
ing men passed rapidly by.
Pictures taken on a battleship showed
how the Immense guns are handled, and
how destructive la their work upon the
towns attacked. Thero wero views of
German and Belgian cavalry in action and
a long line of field batteries, which pic
ture, more than any other of the series,
conformed with tho popular Idea of a
"battle line."
These pictures servo admirably to sup
plement and to Illustrate the news the
world Is getting of the great struggle,
and they are better than any word Ue.

tion that has been wrought, espeolally in
Belgium.

War Pictures at the Forrest
Close range motion pictures of the
European war wero shown for tho first
time beforo large nnd appreciative audi
ences nt tho Forrest Theatre last night,
nnd presented various aspects of the

ing officer, and the Kaiser came In for
vigorous applause. There was a picture
of Crown Prlnco Buprecht and his staff
leaving for the front, and another film
showed a French bayonet charge. Red
Cross dogs searching for wounded sol
diers after a battle gave a sympathetic
touch to that reproduction. Among the
other pictures shown were ambulances
transporting wounded, Germans building
n pontoon bridge-, French prisoners bound
for a detention camp and the arrival of
tho British.
