WEESSm That one went into a crevasse and out of sight. We didn't even look for the pans with which he was loaded. The glacier will give them up fifty years from now, down at the snow line, after its fashion." Up, atop Mt. Hood, Bruce found an interesting character in the person of the fire warden, who lives in a glass-topped observation post lashed to the peak. In the winter this is completely embanked in solid ice. Food is brought part way up the mountain. The warden meets the guides and "packs the grub" the rest of the distance on his own back. But this warden's post is extremely valuable. With his powerful glasses he can see for 125 miles in any direction, detect a forest fire and telephone to the nearest warden in a second. "There is a loud telephone receiver fitted up and the warden spends his spare time listening to the telephone conversation of the whole country about Hood. I've often sat and listened to horses being swapped and gossip being exchanged. But, even with that recreation, the warden resigned a month ago. A new man has just gone up to try it out, at a hundred dollars a month and keep." But to return to Bruce's plan for next 3'ear. He is going to do some twenty pictures abroad, ranging from the Scotch hills and the British lowlands to the Swiss Alps. "I am going to employ a foreign camera-man, probably a Frenchman," explains Bruce. "He will know atmospheric conditions better and I will alsobe aided by getting the foreign viewpoint, which ought to help my American one." It interested us to know what part of America Bruce considered the one ideal section. And the producer answered with hesitation, "Washington is the most beautiful State. I dont believe Switzerland can touch it. There the great peaks rise right frOm the sea thousands of feet. Washington has all that is beautiful in nature, timber, water and snow. The whole stretch of the Cascade range thru Oregon and Washington is fascinating. California is, of course, the most beautiful place to live, and also the best atmospherically to film pictures, for forest fires are continually interfering with photography in the Cascades. You're continually praying for rain to stop the fires and then for it to stop raining so that you can grind. But, with all that, I love the Cascades." HOLLYWOOD WENT TO HOLLYWOOD AND HOLLYWOOD LEFT HOLLYWOOD "Yes, Hollywood is a great place, but not for mine !" So spoke Edwin L. Hollywood, director of "The Challenge Accepted," starring Zena Keefe, the first production of Arden Photoplays, Inc., released by the W. W. Hodkinson Corporation thru Pathe. "Why, when I was out there associated with James Young in directing for Lasky, everywhere I turned it was Hollywood this and Hollywood that. There were hotels, grocery stores, butcher shops, drygoods stores, theaters and banks named Hollywood. I got so confused I didn't know whether I was something to eat or wear, or a human being. "One day in Los Angeles I purchased something and wanted it delivered. When asked my name, I said, 'Hollywood.' " " 'Yes,' replied the clerk, writing Hollywood on the line for the city. 'What's the name?' " 'Hollywood.' '"I know, but—'" !?*?!!?! etc. GtvtNTo\w AifA LARKIN FACTORY TO FAMILY .4F An Oak Rocker like this sells p^ for $8 to $ I 0 at stores.
