This picture gives to the world what may be called a "speaking scene." Miss Frederick is in a cabin in the mountains. The nearby townspeople are rushing to her. One wugon, pulled , hv two horses, is filled with nine young i women. To make the action more real-I istic, as this vehicle nscends the danger ous road, Director Schcrtzinger told the girl to drive fast, scrnpe the banks, nnd cut the edges of the road on the outer side. When these perilous pcenes were be ing made, tlie driver managed well, but one of the nnimals shied at a paper in the rond, and the pursuit became n rnce with death. The light wagon bounced oer the road toward the camera, the director yelling to the frightened young woman, "Come on! Great, fine! Scream now! yell; that's it." Hut she was in despair the wagon jabbed the banks, bounced over ridges, leaned over yawning ledges, but the grent fright came when it lurched nroun(, curve in thc foreground and the outside rear wheel slid over the edge. The girls leaned over to counter balance it, dcreamlng their loudest.

For many reasons such on aggregation of operatic stars would he impossible, but Mine. Doree has, in a way, ac complished this seeming impossibility by arranging a production for vaudeville, She has assembled a company of vocal ists, and these singers impersonate song birds of grand opera nnd the concert stage. They are called Mmc. Doree's Celebrities nnd will appear ns one of the feature pffcrings at Keith's the com ing week. The effect is most renlistlc. It is not gained so much by the presenta tion of nrias, etc., from grand opera with which the artists are most easily identified, but by the adequate voices of the singers. Mme. Doree lias for some time specialized in operatic singing acts in vaudeville, but her present organiza tion is composed of the Inst singers she has had under her management.
