RAMANCE OF FILMLAND
DESCRIBED BY WRITER
FRESH FROM INGEVILLE
The whole universe, or us much of
it us he can reach, is enlisted by the
latter-day "movie" director as his ally,
for no part of the world is free from
his inveasion if he sets out to find ihs
necessary and proper background foi
his story. When a town does not exist
he builds it for himself, as we see by ;
the description of Inceville In Callfor- j
nlu, written for the New York Even- j
ing Post. Inceville has everything,
Palaces and cottages; an enormous I
f
transportation department; a farm, a
navy, a Wild West ranch, a commis
sary, an electric plant and sea-water
pumping-station, Eeole des Beaux
Arts for oils and water-color, a dress
making establishment, a department
of military engineering, sappers, min
ers, ana pioneer for the battle-pieces;
a library unu a museum, aids of the
otticial historians and antiquarians; a
carpentry and cabinet-shop for the
large indoor construction—these im
Just a few of the establishments 1
noticed in a rapid survey of the ground.
Tills village lies in a canon that de- J
bouches down to the Paclllc Ocean'
about four miles north of Santa Mon
ica:
It has no connection with the out
side world except a very bad and
dusty coast road over which automo
biles and horse-vehicles travel ull day
long. There is a saying you can get
anything you want at Inceville, for its
activities are as complete as the mod
ern city, despite the fact that It pos
sesses only a few hundred inhabitants.
The cost of maintenance equals
the overhead expense of running a
great dally newspaper. A dozen pro
ductions are under way at once.
While I was walking on the beach
ih front of -the canon, I noticed several
pirate kings stealing one of Mr. Tom
Ince's beautiful heroines who had
unwisely gone to take a dip In the
surf. They loaded her Into a life
bout and half a dozen pulis of arms
shoved It Into the Pacific while 'he
rattle of musketry played around
them from the hero up on the cliff
who was trying to stop them without
Killing his unfortunute bride. Goi.ig
to the hilltop, I saw great cavalcades
of cowboys headed by the redoubt
able W. S. Hart, whom some folk will
remember as the erstwhile hero ot
Hen Hur' of the legitimate stage,
and then as Ca3h Hawkins in 'The
•Squaw Man.'
Out over the crest of the ridge was
Hille Burke riding a pony straight
jaddle and accompanied by Thomas
.1. Ince, William H. Thompson, end
Alters on their way to a mountain
-abln supposed to be placed in the
.ighlands of Scotland. In uno'hir
.-art of the grounds waa Katharine
Kaelred busily 'vantpiring' house
Petes, who was slipping from the
^rasp of Clara Williams. In the atu
nio enclosures'proper p-'ors were muk
.ng up for expeditions in 'India,'
China,' the ‘European War-Front,’
-nd the 'Days of Chivalry.'
A curious development of the pic
ture making business is then toll by
the writer. It is only possible, ot
course, in the neighborhood of the
movie plant, but as Los Angele3 has
a practical monopoly of these indus
tries her citizens have the advantages
of this novel variety of entertainment:
Already in Los Angeles they have
discovered that the staging of the big
moment3 in the picture-plays is many
times as spectacular as any other out
door entertainment in the world. The
trolley companies use the big events
as a magnet to bring the crowds to
the Pacific Coast Beach. One sees on
the bill-boards that the nineteenth
episode of 'The Diamond from the Sky'
Is to be staged on the ocean opposite
Santa Monica. The next Saturday
perhaps a quarter of a million peoole
j
■ will crowd every corner of the long j
cliff overlooking the Pacific, while ■
directly in front of the camera-eye I
the aquatic and aeroplaning heroes j
and heroines of the serial will enact |
their thrilling parts.
A motion-picture firm's menagerie j
in Los Angeles fulfils many of the I
.
uses of the Bronx Zoological Garden !
here. The principal difference Is that
an admission fee is charged just to
look at the animals there. But when 1
pictures of them are In the making, i
a regular theatrical scale of prlce3 1b
charged. Another Instance was the
staging of the bull-fight for the Geral
dine Farrar plcturlzatlon of ‘Camen,’
A big arena was used, surrounded by
many thousands of sittings. The cam
era-eye got the scene for 'Carmen,’ and
the promoters reaped additional har
vest from the good fat prices paid by
Angelenos to look on an actual spect
acle In a bull-ring.
There is always some excitement in
the Greater Filmland, which custom
arily extends thirty miles around Los
Angeles, and sometimes lengthens to
three or four hundred miles, as the
exigencies of the different directors
reqiure. There are 'fans’ who run (or
rather motor) to these exciting even's,
as ‘vamps’ In the East run to fires.
One of the specialties of motion-pic
ture companies Is fire—almost as Im
portant In the film-world as battle.
RUNNING NICARAGUA.
The recent election in Nicaragua
was marked by the failure of the sup
porters of Irlas, the Liberal candidate
to appear at the polls. They say that
they were afraid to vote for fear of
coming In conflict with the United
States marines, who were stationed at
the polling places. The news had been
freely circulated by the supporters of
Emillano Chamorra, the successful
candidate that the American govern
ment would permit no one else to be
elected, and It was taken as truth.
It Is interesting- to know that in
advance of the election the three Cen- j
tral American countries of Costa Rica,
Salvador and Honduras filed protests
to Washington City against what these 1
countries termed unwarranted use of
the military power of the United
States to prevent the people of Ni
caragua from expressing their popular
choice at the polls. It was asserted
by these countries that Washington
had Instructed Benjamin L. Jefferson,
American minister to Nicaragua, and
Roar Admiral Caperton in command
of the American naval fleet, to see
that there was "no popular outburst
against Chamorra, who was avowedly
President Wilson’s choice for the
presidency.’’
The thro countries In their protest
charge that the presence of American
» warships in Fonseca bay and the
threat to land marines and bluejackets
had been Interpreted to mean that the
armed forces of the United States were
to be used to force the election of the
candidate favored by President Wil
* son.
The state department at Washington,
however, gives assurances that *he
high motives behind the actions of the
United States will later be made clear,
and the navy department says that
this government does not propose to
endanger the recent Nicaraguan trea
ty by permitting any general uprising
- of popular sentiment against It
