PAGE TWO 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. \ Atlanta, Ga., January 8, 1924.

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. *.. ;■ i CLIFFORD WALKER, ■ iTnoajOM Governor. wk Jl ■*•**** ft vlio / X > / \ / W/ -* W - VALENTINA CHEVOLIER in “SCARAMOUCHE” GUM KT K 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.

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. “FANNING HAMMER’ MORE DIFFICULT THAN IT SOUNDS Charles Jones, playing in the < T William Fox screen version of I, : the story by Ben Air.es Wil- ? ; liams, “Not A Drum Was < ■I Heard,” served his apprentice- T Y ship on a ranche where he 5 ; wrangled cattle for many years. < While Jones is too young to ? ? have lived in the wild and wool- J i ly days of the west romance, he Y < remembers when it was decided- > ) ly convenient to be quick on the ; draw in an emergency.

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.

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. I 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. ‘ f?
