THE BIOGRAPH Five Battery of Cameras Trained on War Scenes in “Under Two Flag's” THE accompanying picture, taken during the production of “Under Two Flags,” gives some idea of the difficulties met and overcome in the filming of Ouida’s great story. The many scenes depicting the heroine’s adventures among the Arabs were made in the great Mojave desert. For the director’s purposes a trip by burro was made across the desert from Palm Springs, Cal., to the railroad. The desert at tl is point is eleven miles wide. Included in the party were Franklin Ritchie, Louise Vale, Charles H. Mailes, Kenneth Davenport and other principals, a camera squad and a large number of supernumeraries. At Chatsworth, Cal. , thirty-five miles from the Los Angeles studios, were made the numerous battle scenes, on which a battery of five cameras was trained. Electrotypes of these cuts , for program , newspaper and magazine advertising , can be secured from Bio graph at cost FranKlin Ritchie as Bertie Cecil and Louise Vale as Cigarette in the Three Reel Biograph “Under Two Flags”
