SPECTATORS GASP
AS DUMMY IS
BURNT IN FIRE
THOUSANDS nf spectators who
thronged to the lot bnck of the I.asky
Eastern studios in Astoria. Long Is
land, to see the burning .of the orphan
age in "I'eter Ibbetson." recently re
ceived thrills that nre denied those who
will see only the completed version of
the picture
The hottest night in .Tulv saw the
destruction of the set. and the flnmes,
which were givenfomplete freedom for
nearly twenty minutes, spread over the
entire structure, the Intense heat driv
ing the spectators bnck from the ropes
which kept them from the lot
Throughout the blaze. Arthur Mil
' ler, the cameraman, stood on his plat
form. Once, when the fire swept about
Mm, scorching his face and hands and
singeing his hair, he seized his precious
camera, containing the valuable film,
and leaped to the ground
A gasp was heard from a group of
onlookers as they saw Elsie Ferguson,
one of the two stars of the picture,
enter the burning set.
A moment later a figure, attired ex
ctly as Mi&r Ferguson, fell to the floor
asd was lost in the snfoke clouds, A
wall fell in, covering the room where
the star wan last been.
BUT for the nonchalance of Miller,
who wiped the sweat from his
eyes, shoved a fresh Btick of his illimit
able supply of chewing gum between his
teeth and continued with his cranking,
the crowd might hnve become panic
etricken. They had seen or thought
they had seen, n woman perish, and
none of the comnan making the pic
ture becmed concerned about the trag-
edy.
Miller explained it all when he said
-That dummy is a wonder. Look at
fceribuml"

UtfD'S EYE VIEW OF MOVIE IN THE MAKING
I Ills is what you would see. Oouvcr
neur Morris, the nuthor, Is seated In
the easy chnlr. Wallace Worslcy,
that conflict of the soul which wo meet
in dnilv problems on nil sides of us.
And ro I should wy to a young girl
who really, sincerely, wants to become
n scenario writer, exnetly whnt I'd
sny to one starting out to become n
writer of fiction or the drama.
I.enrn to know life ns it Is, and
ydu'll learn to transcribe it to whntevcr
medium jou choose. The best wny to
go about that, I truly believe, is to do
the thing t lint so mnny others, includ
ing mjholf, hnve done work on n news
paper. You will be assigned to nil sorts of
stories, plensnnt nnd unplensnnt, you
will learn dinmntic forms. You will,
above nil, lenrn to sift the kernel of n
story from its trimmings.

If Is not
necessary that you Know tne

It

Into technical form themselves.
Hut I do ntlvisp any one having n
photoplay produced to work with the
continuity writer who is pieparlng it
for the screen, and in thnt wny learn
the moticni-pielnre nngle. I havo
lenrned more nbnut screen technique

some work at one of the studios, I
chntted w'llh the secretary of nn ofii

her estnblislied ns the secretnry to the

CHAPTER XIV
A FEW hours later, with a sott of
last-sfnnd desperation, I went over
. Two automobiles were shining in the
glorious spring sunugni Dciore me inc
tory building, nnd h group of poor
"supers," those itag-end nctow who fill
in and aro mobs, lounged, wnltlng,
round the doorway.
The entrance hall, too, was crowded,
nnd buzzing with tnlk and motion. The
telephone girl recognized tne and smiled.
"You want to sec Mr. WcllcsV" she
asked.
1 nodded. Hor grin spread.
"Well, tnke n look around I"
I turned on my heel. He wns stand
ing behind me. smiling delightfully. I
must have blushed with rosy hnppl
ncss a flood of glad relief nnd bound
ing Joy nnd unquestioning ndorntlon.
He wns leaning over mc, holding my
hand. ... ......
"Good work!" he said. "It's good
to see you. How goes It? How's
Beaver -Face?"
I laughed.
"I'vo left him!"
"Left him? How so?"
I looked around quickly.
Well " I hesitated. "You see
so many people here."
"Como In. Follow me."
He swung open the door nnd I fol
lowed. This wns heavenly! Suddenly
tho futuro opened for mc ngnln J I
found a plnco In the world, nnd nil my
despair vanished. But what n change
in Kolnnd! To begin with, there wns
a trnnsformnHon In his clothes; a
chnngo of quality curious patent
leather shoes with cloth tops, n very
fancy vest, rings on his fingers, nn
Immaculate suit nf some special wenve.
But more cmnhntlc, n change of mini
nor, ft new dnmlnnnt qunllty, nn ex
tra self-satisfaction, nnd buslnessjikc
precision. .. . ,, .
I followed him to "tho floor," and
then up nn extra flight of stnlrs. We
passed through a dark hnll nnd he open
ed nn office door.
He turned townrd me. smiling.
"This doesn't look like a dressing
room, docs it?"
"No," I said.
I hnd a glimpse of n business desk,
rug on floor, pictures on walls, n couch,
and comfortable chairs.
"Can you guess?" he nsked.
I wns puzzled. He motioned me to a
chair nnd I snnk into it. He, himself,
snt nt the desk nnd wheeled nenr me.
"Nelln!" he said; "Nclla! Im so
glad to see vou. I wns going to write
to vou. I just got bnck two days ago.
Things have chnnged! Things hnve
chntiRed! You. too. You've become
vcrv benutlful. You nre growing up.
I smiled through my teurs. I clnsped
mv hnnds- together. Didn't he guess
e'cn then how I loved him?
"So you've left Beaver-rncc. hot
happened?" ,,,,.,
I turned awny my face and told him
the story. When I hnd finished, ho
smote the desk with his fist.
"The beast!" he snnpped, bis fore
tiend taking a deep groove down the
center. "You should hnve left him
long ago. If I hnd known thnt when
I sent you there. By Heaven!" Ho
paused, and looked at me strangely.
"Pointed n gun In his face,, eh?" He
laughed queerly. "So that's whnt . vou
do when men mnke love to you-? Hm !
Ilm! You make mc afraid of you!"
I smiled nt him.
"Afrnid?" I echoed.
"They call you "N10 Little Panther,'
don't they?" He moistened his lower
Up with his tongue, a chnracteristlc
nnd not unpleasant trick of his. (Have
yrtu ever noticed it. Annette?)
'"Phew! It's hnnds off! You're the
most different sort of girl I've ever
mot!"
Doubtless thnt fnsclnnted me. for ho
kept regarding mo in a puzzled wnv. I
underbtnnd now whnt wns troubling
him. I did not dream of it then.
"Listen!" he snid suddenly, leaning
townrd me. "I said tilings hnd changed.
Can you guess how? Why, Nclla. I've
been mnde a director, nnd, if you wnnt
n job, sny the word !"
So that was it. Another nctor hnd
moved up n peg. Thnt wns the rpnson
for the change in his clothes, his man
ner, his office. I Inughed, delighted.
"I'm ready," I snid. "Sliall I be
gin now?"
He wheeled to his desk nnd pulled out
liis script, looked over the scenes to bo
taken and the list of characters.
"Of course," ho muttered, "I can't
