The actis itlr s of the production and

Titling eorresponds to newspaper
"head" writing, editing has its ioiin
terpart in the enpj desk, and cutting
could be likened io make-up work ou
a newspaper.
This close anulogv between motion

by menus of which bis Jcgs were

him with only his knees to walk on

"The prociss of harnessing me was

Itiwas dangerous, of course. While
we were in San Francisco taking some

"After that I was mighty careful.
Twelve minutes wns about the limit for

"When that fall was flashed on the

Bert Lytell, Kargcr
and June Malhis'Join
ONE moiV complete producing unit
reached Metro's Hollywood studios
with the nrrival, a few days ago, of
Maxwell Knrger, muker of the special
productions that bear his name.
With Mr. Knrger were nert 'Lytell,
wlrose work in "A Message From
Mars" has added materially to his
laurels; .Joseph Strauss, production
manager for Kargcr pictures; Arthur
Martinet!!, cameraman, and members of
the Lytell company.
Two dnyw later Virglniu Volli, who
is acting nn Important role in "The
Man Who." in which Mr. Lytell is
starred, arrived nt the West Coast
studio.
An evidence of the renewed impetus
given to picture production at these
Hollywood studios was found In the
speed with which the new unit went
into action.
One hour after removing his coat in
a bulte in the new Gurden Court studio
building, Mr. Karger was outlining sets
to be ured in final scenes for "The Man
Who. ' N
ALTHOUGH New York't. busiest
streets have served as a background
for this Lloyd Osbourne story, several
big scenes required California sun
shine for the photographic effects for
which Mr. Knrger Is striving.
In order to obtain it the entire unit
was. hurriedly transported from the
Atlantic to tlie Pacific coast.
Immediately after the conclusion of
the final scenes for "The Man Who,"
Mr. Knrger nnd Mr. Lytell will begin
work on their next production, "A
Trip to Paradise."
This new picture, from the story by
Franz Molnur, is being prepared for
the screen by June Muthls, who
achieved such a innrked success in her
adaptation of "The 'Four Horsemen of
the Apocalypse."
Mr. Kurger, who had not been to the
West Coast studios for more thun n
year, expressed surprise ut the numer
ous big structures tlint have been added
to Metro's six blocks of studio grounds
in Hollywood.
Making Third Morris Story
Gouvcrncqr 'Morris' third photoplay
is now- being filmed at the Gojdwyn
Culver City studios. It is called "Ace
of Hcurts." Ills first and seioud pic
tures were "The Penalty " and "A Tule
of Two Worlds."

FIRST MOVIE STAR IN CALIFORNIA
THE first motion -picture "shot"
made on the Pacific coast wsb the
result of the weather. The late Francis
Boggs was producing a story which
called for n cocky cliff, an expanse of
water and a steady light productive of
the desired photography. S
The release date of tlie picture had
been set so there was' no time to wait
for the storm raging caat of the Rockies
to subside. So Boggs and his company
crossed the -mountains, landing at San
Diego, Calif. They journeyed north
ward along the coast and "set up" at
La JollaHhe first motion camera ever
used In the West and Tom SanLscljl
was the hero.
In April, 1000, Santschi look up
his permanent home in California. On
a vacant lot along what Is now "Auto
mobile Row" In Los Angeles, the first
mollon-plcture stage of the coast was
erected.
Tom Santschi, the pioneer hero of
"Beyond the Trail," the two-reel
western drama which Is now playing, is
thus a pioneer in truth as well as in
fiction.
