One of the .Lubln Film Co.'s traveling or- ganisations, now located at El Paso, have offended the majesty of the law, and conse- quently were arrested and duly fined. Wll- bert Melville,' the director, seeking for sub- jects of local atmosphere, conceived the Idea of making a reel of pictures Illustrating the incidents of the Mexican revolution.' He ob- tained a permit from the chief of police of El Paso to use the highways of the Uttle town and a number of peace abiding citizens to make.the show. In addition to the members of the troupe, some 300 or 400 extras were engaged and dressed up' to represent federal soldiers and revolutionist!. Doubtless there was a full understandng between the chief and the mayor; however, the latter looked upon the demonstration as real and dangerous to his neighbors across the Rio Grande. . ■ The police, under instructions, charged the body and scooped in as many men and women as they could handle. The show folks were duly arraigned, and despite full explanation and the chief of police permit, were fined $10 each. and messages were sent across to Juarez, as- suring the authorities that no apprehension was necessary. Melville, the director of the troupe, got away in his automobile, but had to send a good sized bag of money to get his associates released. . • • ■ , ■ . , - McCIoakey with Lubln. Lawrence S. McCIoskey, formerly a news- ?aper man, has been appointed associate cdl- or and scenario writer for the Lubln Film Co. For some time Mr. McCIoskey has been aiming at this field of endeavor writing photo- play scenarios, most of which were accepted and proved to be worthy. For the Lubln firm he has written "One on Reno," "In Dls-a-Countree," "His Wlfe'B Mother" and "Rice and Old Shoes." He Is a quick writer and can fit a good story to any background, but the theme must be original. McCIoskey left the press room because he realized the wonderful future for literary work in the moving picture field, and doubtless he is right. s American Films In Russia. Recently a number of moving picture the- atres in KU8sia have been displaying a few fllma depicting American life, most of them being Indian and Western pictures. An American consul writes that.these films are so entirely different from. the' usual subjects displayed, and seem to be so much appre- ciated, that a good business could be worked up in American films. He suggests that de- scriptive matter, with prices and discounts, be sent to a number of fi.ms whose names are furnished. Correspondence with these firms should be preferably in Russian, but German would be better than English. i ._. ' ,.■ Leaves tor California. David Horsier, president of the Nestor Film Co., has left 'for Hollywood, Cal., where the Nestor studios are located. It Is Mr. Horsley's intention to stop at various points of Interest and take pictures. ■ . ■ ■ '' f "Oedipna Rex" at Kinemaoolor.
