FEATURE FILM NEWS THE General Film Producing Co., makers of the "HERALD FILMS," received a telegram from their photographer, who is now in Nome, Alaska, stating that he has secured some good pictures of Nome before and after the disaster that almost wiped that city away. The pictures taken before the disaster arrived in New York to-day and show the whole city, besides incidents and places surrounding Nome. They are very clear and very interesting. These pictures were made with the assistance of Governor Stone, of Alaska, and the U. S. revenue cutter "Bear," which went to the assistance of the stricken city. Augustus Thomas, director-general of productions for the All Star Fea ture Corporation, has secured the assistance of Henry M. Blossom, author of "Checkers," in the staging of Mr. Blossom's novel and play as a "silent drama." Mr. Blossom dramatized his own novel in the play which made Thomas W. Ross famous as "Checkers." From this dramatization and from the novel itself a scenario has been prepared by Eustace Hale Ball and Lawrence McGill, and upon the basis of this scenario the play will be staged under the supervision of Mr. Thomas, with assistance from Mr. Blossom.
