SCARAMOUCHE HERE TWO DAYS, THURSDAY AND FRIDAY
EMMS BUTLPV IN
MAKING SCARAMOUCHE
More Than 500,000 Feet of
Film Used in ‘Shooting’ Big
Picture At Rylander
The enormous amount of money
and material used in making a big
film spectacle is illustrated in the
case of “Scaramouche,” Rex In
gram’s production for Metro of Ra
fael Sabatini’s story of the French
Revolution, which is coming on
Thursday and Friday to the Rylan
der Theater for two days. “Scara
mouche” easily exposed as much
hirh held the record for some time,
which held the record for some
time. More than 500,000 feet of
film was used during the “shooting”
of the picture.
The amount of raw film consum
ed, however, is only one item in the
cost of producing pictures of any
size. The actual “shooting” process
is not the chief expense, what is
“shot” makes the debit side of the
ledger mount up.
The biggest item was the con
struction of sets representing the
palace of the Tuileries, an old chat
eau and city streets oftheFrance
of 1870. Kennels pens, stables and
cages had to be built for dogs, pig
eons, ducks, cats, oxen, horses, ca
naries, peacocks other birds I
and animals. Carriages and coaches I
had to be reconstructed with per !
feet historical accuracy. Costumes I
had t o be made for the 10,000 pei-j
sons who appeared in the mob!
scenes. There were uniforms for!
the soldiery, and outfits of especial
magnificence for players represen
ting the nobility.
11,200 Persons Involved
The total number of persons in
volved in some capacity in the pro
duction reached the figure of ap-I
proximately 11,200. Ten thousand!
of these made up the mob that
rushed through Paris when the Rev
olution broke. Os those with def
inite other places in the picture’s
making were 30 principal players,
34 assistant directors, 8 researifi
experts, 22 cameramen with their
assistants, 23 property men, 65
electricians, 55 costumers, 54 wig
makers, ; 11 architects, 630 carpen
ters, 75, p’nsterers, 88 painters and
scenic artists and 48 chauffeurs
and teamsters.
On the sixty-acre location where
the duplicates of streets in Paris,
Gavrilaq and Rennes were con
structed, 412 tons of cobblestones
were used for paving, besides '6lO
tons of gravel and sand. For the
buildings 762,264 feet of lumber
was necessary. Also 340 tons of
plaster, 4,000 pound ■'f nails, and
200 tons of casting plaster.
The task of handling the great
crowds made it advisable to have
each person entirely under the
control of Mr. Ingram. To do this
the members of the mob were prac
tically guests of the film company
through each day on location, being
fed and eared for. Four special
electric trains of three cars each,
were engaged to transport them to
the studio every morning. Behind
the big set, special dressing rooms
and wardrobe houses had been buil’
Each of the latter was labelled
“Students,” “Peasants,” “Noble
men,” “Gendarmes,” or some other
classification of French citizenry.

■» I rank "Scaramouche,” which you know,
I saw last night, among the two or three
really supreme achievements of the motion
picture art, that I have seen. And, inas
much as the others that gave me equal
pleasure, were all pictures of several years
back, it is fair to presume that any picture
which can give equal pleasure today, is su
perior to the old ones. For we are daily
growing more sophisticated, with each pic
ture we see we see demand more, it takes
greater things to interest us each year.
“Scaramouche is, to my mnid, perfect,
in every detail. It is certainly wonderful
entertainment and, by its careful adherence
to the spirit of the times it depicts, it is valu
able to the student of the French revolu
tionary period.
It is, in short, a supreme picture in every
respect. *.. ;■

PICTURE ID Fill
Friendship, in its most beauti
ful form, is brought to the screen
with telling effects in the William
Fox picture from the story by Ben
Ames Wiliams, called ‘‘Not A Drum
Was Heard,” which comes to the
Rylander Theater Wednesday for
one day. Charles Jones has the
leading role and Betty Bouton plays
the part of the western girl he
loves.
‘’’’Phthaps the best description
of the theme lies in the episod i
whith '‘occurs .when two eowpuric’n
ers find themselves in love with
the same girl. The men are “pard
ners,” not partners. She tells the
loser first, explaining that the oth
er man is dependable—steady.
“Is there any other little thing
about it?” he asks.
“I love him,” replies the egirl.
“Keno,” says the rider, rolling a
cigarette. And gives her up.
Aside from this kind ,of ~ senti
ment, the picture is a roaring tale
of the glorious west, with gunplay
and faro a plenty. Jones is at his
best and has the support of capable
cast

DOROTHY MACKAILL
TELLS OF IKE IIP
Screen Star Says Every Woman
Should Practice Art of ‘Mak
ing Up’
Every woman should know and
practice the art of making up, says
Dorothy Mackaill, pretty screen
star, who will be at the Rylander in
“The Next Corner” Monday and
Tuesday.
It is a fact, says Miss Mackaill,
that some women might deny—that
every woman, consciously or not,
knows something about the funda
mentals of make-up and actually
practices the art. She may never
have had a grain of powder
on her face but she makes up just
the same.
Clothes are the chief essentials in
proper make-up. Paint and powder
occupy only a secondary position.
The woman who exercises good taste
in dress is consciously trying to se
cure for herself the best possible
appearance. Women who use pamt
and powder also have the same end
in view'.
There is no excuse in this gener
ation for women who do not make
the most of their gifts. I have nev
er yet seen a woman whose appear
ance was not improved in some
way by the little harmless arts she
practises.

' In scenes showing a group of .
< riders, it is noticeable that >
S Frank Campeau usually has a
< heavier mount than anyone else, j
Y Among big men and big horses, '(
' his head will rise above them all. j
< Th e reason is that Campeau has (
) a pet horse of unusual size and |>
< prefers it to any other. As in ;
Y most of his pictures, this is no- >
, ticeable in “Not A Crum Was s
• Heard,” starring Charles Jones,
. which comes to the Rylander
J theater Wednesday.
< Campeau has had a broad ex-
) perience on the stage and screen. I
His first notable work was with
Y Louis Morrison in “Faust.” Then ■
( i he played w’ith Frank Mayo in
< “Puddin’head Wilson;” later in ?
J “Arizona,” “The Virginian,
“Kindling,” ‘Ghost Breaker,” <
. “Believe Me, Xantippess and

THE IEII CORNER'
IS WUNDER FEATURE
In “The Next Corner” which
comes to the Rylander Theater on
Monday and Tuesday, Miss Mackaill
transforms herself from a young
American girl, unadorned by paints
or powders, into a woman of the
ultra-fashionable Parisian type. It
is said to be the most, complete les
son in modern make-up which has
ever been shown on the screen.
Featured with Miss Mackaill in
the principal roles of this produc
tion are Conway Tearle, Lon
Chaney, Ricardo Cortez and Louise
Dresser.

REV. ROBERT KERR IN
FIRST REVIVAL SERMON
TIFTON, May 3. Rev. Robert
Kerr preached his first sermon at
an evening service during the revival
I meeting at the Methodist Church
read for his scripture lesson St.
John 16:7-8. Mr. Kerr said he
would discuss “The Holy Spirit,
The One Authoritative Convictor of
Sin.”
Evangelistists, said Mr. Kerr, are
finding evangelism most difficult,
even more so than a few decades
ago. One leason for this is the
lack of a sane consciousness of sin.
Sinful men and women are not con
scious of their sin as they should
be. There must be an impalling
conviction of sin before men and
women caji be delivered from
their sins
FAMOUS QUARTET TO
SING SOON AT TIFTON
TIFTON, May 3.—Valdosta’s
famous double male quartet will be
heard in Tifton Sunday afternoon
at four o’clock at the special Men’s
Meeting at the Methodist Church.
At this meeting, Rev. C. W. Cur
ry, Presiding Elder of the Valdosta
District, will preach on “The Unused
Assets in the Church.”
At the request of local people, Mr.
Curry invited the Valdosta quartet
to sing at the meeting, and they
have kindly consented to accept
the inviation.
The Valdosta quartet has an al
most nation-wide reputation and
their visit to Tifton Sunday after
noon should attract a large crowd
to the men’s service.

INJURED MN GETS
FULL LOAD IN LEG

ing’s yard, saying he bad found
shortly before that his brooder
which cotains a number of small
chicks was out of fuel, and with
none in his own house he had gone,
to a neighbor’s to get some kero
sene,'but found he, too, was low on
fuel and that he was on his way
I back home traveling cross-lots
along a route formerly used by him
when a relative lived adjoining him,
He had failed to notify Ewing and
others of his presence in the yard
under a belief that they might have
been disturbed had he telephoned
them of his intentions, and believ
ing that he could secure all fuel
necessary for the night without wak
ing up an entire neighborhood.
Ewing telling of the incident this
morning, said that during approx
imately three months past families
in the neighborhood had been dis
turbed 'by night prowlers, espec
ially during the early hours. These
prowlers, he said, had been espe
cially active at living room win
dows of the Ewing and Harris
homes which adjoin. It was whiler
listening in on a radio set last nigl c
that Ewing says, he heard some one
outside. Thinking only of the
prowler that had previously dis
turbed the entire neighborhood, he
went to the rp»>« norrh. ---cured his
shotgun, loaded this and stepped
out on the back porch. Almost
instantly he saw someone in the
yard, and called “Hands up.” The
figure in the darkness turned as if
to run, and without waiting, Ewing
fired. The whole affairs happened
very quickly, he states, and during
a brief period of excitement due
to the belief that some thief or
woiuld-be burglar had been caught.
“I deeply regret the entire occur
rence,” he said this morning, “but
feel that under existing circum
stances I am in no way to be blam
ed for the unfortunate affair.”
Reports from the Americus and
Sumter county hospital, where Jen
nings was carried following the ac
cident, this afternoon are to the ef
fect that his wound while quite
painful is not considered as likely
to have fatal results. The entire
load from Ewing’s shotgun entered
Jennings’ right leg, examination
showed, at a point between t’pe
knee and hip, every shot going en
tirely through the fleshy part of the
limb. The shot was fired at close
range, due to which there was very
little “scatter” evidence in the
wound produced.

1 biliousness
—W. L, Hand.
Mothers, what would you give to feel
easy when your little one begins to
show signs of bilousness?
It is customary to think that you
ought to use calomel and castor oil, but
you dread giving these doses as much
as the child fears to take them. And
still, you dread what may happen if
you use just the ordinary children's
laxative.
It was to meet this very situation that
I invented Liv-o-lax, and if you try it
once, you won’t think of using calomel
again.
Liv-o-lax cleanses liver and bowels,
too, and still it is a pleasant - tasting
liquid, entirely vegetable, which causes
no distress, serves equally well in colds,
constipation and indigestion and is just
as good for adults as it is for the child
ren—who really love to take it. ‘
