Local Scenes to
Appear in Films
Luncheon hour was greatly de
layed today by the fact that a mo
tion picture camera man and direc
tor were on the streets at the noon
hour taking pictures for a great
drama which is to feature local scen
ery as well as local talent. Their ap
pearance in front of the Hotel Aus
tin, where the scenes of a dramatic
plot ' were pictured, held luncheon
goers In hordes at that point,' while
the hero saved the heroine from the
clutches of the villain, ending with
the hair-raising episode of pitching
tho latter over the balcony.
The event .was the filming of "The
Romance of the Lithia City," in
which the following local stars ap
pear: Hero, Mingus Aiken; villain,
pdgnr Buchanan; heroine, Beth John
son; neglected girl, Vivian Blllott.
The pictures were taken by represen
tatives of the San Joaquin Motion
Picture company, with O. A. Camp
Bell as the director and M. Athens
as camera man. These men have
been in -Ashland for the past two
days, taking films of the high school
faculty and students, and several
other leading local features. The
films of today will appear In a pic
ture to be shown at the Vlnlng In
the near future, according to the
manager In charge of their produc
