LITE of sr' moving1 picture performer
as a member of the company of
players of Klser Studios, Inc., while
taking picturea on Mount llood is not
aa pleasure. In fact there is a very
large amount of hard work, including
hazardous trips up precipitous and
ice-clad slopes, over immense glaciers
and fields of sliding ehale.
For more than a week the company
of players headed by President F. H.
Kiser was on the mountain filming
"The Crystal Ascension,'? two-reel
story-scenic of Mount Hood and its
environs. For the most part' the
scenes were from a point near the
snow line to the summit of the moun
tain. Each member of the party of 15 was
required to carry his own pack, with
blanket, provisions and canteen. Up
many of the most treacherous slopes
and over other dangerous points, the
life-lino was constantly in use
One 6? the camps of the party was
on a spur above Elliott's glacier at
an elevation of 9200 feet. From this
camp many of the scenes of the pto
ture was taken.
The task of carrying the heavy
cameras to this point was most strenu
ous and not without great danger.
Under the guidance of Will Moody,
official guide for the party, no acci
dents have happened with the excep
tion of the parting of the lifeline dur
ing a trip to Stranahan falls, which
for a few minutes endangered the lives
of Maldena Armstrong, character lead,
and Edward J. Taylor, assistant tech
nical director. President Klser re
peatedly ' cautioned members of the
party to exercise the greatest care in
dangerous places, and following the
scare of the party through the parting
of the life-line, everybody, is exceed
ingly cautious.
In spite of the hardships encountered,
each member of the company is thor
oughly enjoying the trip. All sorts of
weather has been encountered. In
cluding thunder and lightening, snow,
rain, hail and sunshine, and at nights
the effects in the moonlight are won
derful. Many startling scenes have' been
filmed, and that, the photography is a
success is shown by the fact that sev
eral small strips of film have been
developed in an improvised laboratory.
.This picture will be the first com
plete production ever photographed on
Mount Hood. It will be one of the
series of 13 which Is under contract
to the Pathe company. . -
Film Star Burned,
Perhaps Disfigured,
In 'Flaming Scene
Braving a raging forest fire to fur
nish a thrill for the screen. Anna Q.
Nilsson, beautiful1 film star, was se
verely burned and possibly disfigured
while piloting a locomotive through a
path of flame a quarter of a mile long
for a scene in "Heart Aflame,", a big
spectacular melodrama which Hegi-'
nald Barker is directing for the Louis
B. Mayer company.
Craig Ward, her leading man. who
fired the locomotive, also sustained;
serious Injuries and burns and was
taken to the Good Samaritan hospital:
for treatment, Percy Hilburn, Al;
Siegler, Harry Vallejo and Edward
Linden, four cameramen who photo-;
graphed the scene in pairs from asbes
tos cabinets erected beside the boiler
on either side of the locomotive, also
suffered from the flames which
burned away the wooden divisions ini
the booths, but were fully taken care
of In first aid treatment.
The scene was staged in the hills
near San Fernando, where six acres
of pine were transplanted from Crest
Line in the Big Bear Mountains and
burned under the supervision of Coun-;
ty Forester Stuart Flintham and his
staff. To create the roaring mass of
fire desired for the camera, over seven
hundred gallons of gasoline were used
to saturate the trees and the hundreds
of bales of excelsior which served as
underbrush.
After clearing the flaming area and
setting the brakes. Miss NUsson;
fainted and had to be carried from the!
engine cab to the medical tent on the1
grounds, where she was attended by
Dr. Roughe of Hollywood and a nurse
before being sent to her home.
The right side of her face and neck
and both of her shoulders were badly
burned, while all of her hair not pro
tec ted by her wide brimmed army
"campaign" hat was either sacrificed
to the flames or singed. The collar
and shoulders of the woolen army
shirt which was part of her character
as a north woods girl, were almost
completely bjirned away.
Little Mary, Glad
Only in Bathing
Suit, Stirs Hornets
A swarm of hornets kicked ud core-
'siderable excitement In the Mary Pick-
ford company recently while on loc ac
tion at Elsinore Lake, nearly 100 miles
from Los Angeles. v
Edward Banshoff, one of the "prop"
men, stepped into a hornets' nest by
accident, and immediately thereafter
the excitement commenced. Incensed
at this liberty which had been taken
with their home, the hornets launched
an attack on the entire company, be
ing wholly impartial as to whether
they picked on players, director, star
or property man.
Every form of dance step ever heard
of was executed by the various menfc
bers of the company. To further-complicate
matters, it happened that bath
ing scenes were being taken, and both
Mary Pick ford and Gloria Hope, who
plays the part of Teola Graves in the
story, were clad only in bathing suits.
Miss Hope, however, escaped un
scathed by demonstrating a speed in
footracing toward the lake which
would probably rival the work of some
of our best sprinters.
Miss Hope and Miss Pick ford were
the only, two members of the company
who went unstung. Miss Pickford es
caped by wrapping herself In a heavy
coat, golden curls and alL John S.
Robertson, who is directing Miss Pick-
ford s new version of Tess of the
Storm Country." took off his-, hat to
beat the hornets off his legs, then the
hornets got on his head, and when he
pat his hat back on the hornets were
still there. After the dust had settled,
Charles Rosher, cameraman, claimed
it was the first time he had ever been
stung In bis life. j

Double Exposure Litigated
K K K V K s K K ,. at
Dawn Claims Patent Right
(KiclnsiTe Dispatch.)
LOS ANGELES, Cal., Sept. 9. Appar
ently Norman Dawn could net have
chosen a more unnooular subtest for
litigation than double exposure, which
motion picture people allege has been
usea in tne trande a great many years.
Latest to lend support in concerted
opposition by film interests against
paying royalty for processes deemed of
common film ownership is the world's
sweetheart, Mary Pickford. and her
dashing husband, Douglas Fairbanks.
Miss Pickford and Fairbanks loin
such producers as Jesse L. Laakv.
Thomas II. Ince, Metro, Goldwyn, Vita
graph, Harry GarsOn, Christie and
Mack Sennett in defense of the right
of all to use double exposure in
photography.

Remarkable Musical
Score Is Arranged
For 'Monte Christo'
Portland's popular musical director,
Antone Stechele, at the Blue Mouse
theatre, says that one reason why one-4
should see the big Fox production,
"Monte Cristo," Is the wonderful score,
written especially for this picture by
Erao Rappe. The score is based on
the principles the famous opera com
poser, Wagner, laid down In his works,
and which achieved such success and
made his name immortal. In fact, the
writer of the "Monte Cristo" score
uses several of Wagner's leading
motifs. Two of the most beautiful and
mighty themes, from Wagner's "Nibe
lungenrlng," are interpreted for the
hero the "Monte Cristo" theme and
the "Treasure" theme. The faithful
and faithless Mercedes is musically in
terpreted with a wonderful love theme
of the French composer, Steck. while
the king's prosecutor. Monte Crlsto's
most crafty and cruel enemy. Is mu
sically portrayed with a serious and
sombre leading motif from the opera
"Manfred," by Reinecke, a composer
peculiar to the Wagnerian school. But
the most striking and most dramatic
motifs are given the arch conspirators
of Monte Cristo. when the man
writes the letter to the corrupt judge.
At this very dramatic moment the
opening Interlude of "Sibelius Finn
landla" bolts in like a thunderstorm
and the effect is tremendous. This
composition, a masterpiece of a genius,
is said to have been censored in
Russia during the regime of the late
csar, on account of its revolutionary
character, and made Its composer more
famous than even his famed "Valse
Trlste." Other compositions of great
beauty, like "Cuis Orientale," Massa
net's "Scenes Pittoresqu," Delibes'
"Krles' Feast of Brittany" and many
others are woven in the score, appro
priate to the occasion, make the score
stand as a criterion of beauty and
latest achievement in scoring a master
piece of the cinema art.

Fine Theatre
Donated to
University
ROCHESTER. K. TV Sept. 9. CL
S.) The University of Rochester
shortly win come into possession of
one of the finest theatres in the world,
the gift of George. Eastman, of the
Eastman Kodak company.-
Erected at a cost of S5.09,000, lo
cated in the heart of the business sec
tion and under the' same roof -with the
Eastman School of Music, its donor
and the college authorities plan, to
make It the cultural and musical cen
ter of the community. -
In size the-Eastman theatre is ex
celled by only two New. York theatres
-the Hippodrome and the Capitol
and in beauty, cost and completeness
of equipment probably by no other the
atre in America or Europe. It is
magnificently finished in art bronse,
marble and rare woods,. seats 3400 peo
ple, without pillar or post to mar the
view, and required the services of
some 3000 men during the two years
in which It has been under construc
tion. The entire outside frontage is
protected by a marquise. 367 feet in
length, said to be the largest theatre
marquise in the world. It is designed
after a rather free adaptation, of the
Italian rennaissance.
Not alone In Its physical aspects,
however, is the theatre unique.
Its mission, as an integral part of
the Tjaiverslty of Rochester, to which
it has been donated outright, with a
sufficient endowment to insure its con
tinued operation, is proclaimed to the
world by the inscription over the main
portal, which reads:
"Dedicated to the- Enrichment of
Community Life."
Because, In the opinion of 4ts donor
and the university officials, motion
pictures are the beet medium for his
trionic expression, the theatre is pri
marily a motion picture palace, con
vertible into a grand opera house. ,
It has a" specially constructed organ,
one of the largest in the world, and
19 smaller ' organs in sound-proof
rooms in the school of music afford
the opportunity for instruction.
There are two promenades, a block
in length each, between the school of
music and the theatre. They are used
by both institutions.
In the upper galleries of the theatre
Is an elaborate and costly display of
art, ancient and modern. It was
placed in the upper galleries for the
same reason that the best seats in the
theatre are the lowest priced in order
that those most in need of its cultural
Influences' may be served first and
