THE THRILLPROOF AGE
{Continued from page 17) ambition as well as the plot expanded. Then came the difficulties.
First of all was that of getting the cast together. A dozen married people cannot spend every Saturday and Sunday for three months in one line of endeavor. Of course weekend house-parties at the summer homes of the various members of the cast helped some.
Splicing helped more than some ! For instance, an armed smuggler chasing around the corner of a log-cabin in November was close on the heels of one who passed around precisely the same corner in August. A villain who threw knives at the side of a barn found when the film was projected that the knives were striking all around the head and arms of the fair heroine.
The seasons changed with inconsiderate rapidity. Trees which were heavy with foliage in August, when the first scenes were taken, were singularly bare in November. Consequently November scenes had to be confined to backgrounds in which the woody plants were evergreen or where there was no foliage at all.
It was difficult to insert spoken titles. Some titles were concocted after the action had been

projected. Enough footage of various members of the cast in conversation with others had been taken to provide for the cutting in of titles. Nevertheless it is better to have spoken lines agree with the titles, for it seems that in amateur cinematography improvement brings praise from friendly spectators of the productions but at the same time these same spectators grow critical concerning small technicalities.
