Page 6 "The Digest of the Motion Picture Industry Flashes from Frisco By agnes kerr crawford Dr. Orlando E. Miller, President of the Rellimeo Films of this city, spent Thursday and Friday of last week in Hollywood looking over the recent work of the organization in the South, where they have just completed the cutting of their latest feature picture "The Yellow Stigma". The film will be ready for release the middle of November when Gordon Michie, business manager of the company, will leave for New York with it. The Belasco Films of this city are making good progress in the South with their preparations for the filming of their big coming picture "Welcome Stranger." James Young, who will direct for them has just returned from New York, where he has been in conference with Aaron Hoffman, the author, in regard to the screen version of his famous stage success. The all star cast for the picture will be announced within a few days. Max Graf, of the Graf Films will leave for New York this week with the film of their recently completed picture, "Half-a-DolIar Bill," to complete arrangements for its release. The Gerson Films Corporation has just finished work on the third of their series of five reel melodramas starring Ora Carew. The title of the picture is "One Hour To Live, ' Tom Gibson is directing with George Crocker at the camera, and Jay Morley, Hal Stevens, Tiny Standford, and a capable cast are appearing in support of Miss Carew. Los Angeles isn't the only place that develops extra good business managers, for a San Francisco man holds the rather unique record of having completed in the last six months three pictures at a Southern studio, and all three under the estimate time and cost. The clever chap is Gordon Michie of the Rellimeo Films. A special preview was given last Thursday before the officers and men of the American Legion of "Eight Bucks" sodier picture just finished at the Southern leased studio of the Rellimeo Films under the direction of Fred Windamere. The picture met with a rousing reception from the Legion men, both for the splendid cast headed by Raymond McKee, and the real human appeal of the story. The story is one of a returned soldier trying to fit himself again to the ways of peace, and makes you laugh if you can hold back the tears. The picture was produced by the Granada Film Corporation, and the master print rushed up to San Francisco for this showing was the first to be seen by anyone outside the studio. Louis Graf, president of the Graf Films will go to Los Angeles in a day or two to spend a week on business for the organization. Casts of the Week Jos. M.

H. Turner Gertrude Normand Miles McCarthy PUBLIC OPINION New York City, October 26th, 1923. Editor "Camera !", Hollywood, Cal. Dear Sir: Looking over the "Camera!" I came across an article — "Globe-T rotting Cameraman On Ben Hur." Allow me to correct a great error, that had it not been for "Otto G. Brautigam," a well-known cameraman of "New York City," the "Queen of Sheba" would never have gotten the photography it did. John Boyle started the picture and for fully three weeks his work was no good. You can write to Betty Blvthe and verify what I am saying. Of course, John Boyle's name appears on the screen, but had it not been for this other cameraman the picture would never have been what it is today. I also happened to be one of the actresses in this picture and know it from beginning to the end. Otto Brautigam is a New York man and has been in the camera game since it first started.
