Our Reporter's Notebook (Continued from page 106) self. The picture has been filmed in natural color and the cost of the prints alone is a million and a half, according to report. The location is Death Valley and the Grand Canyon. Jack Holt, Billie Dove, Noah Beery and Kathleen Williams head the cast. Short subjects bait for the clubman and t.b.m., so says Leland S. Ramsdell, merchant and clubman of San Francisco. Mr. Ramsdell is putting up the hard cash for productions along these lines. The first will be a series of eighteen two-reel puppylove pictures ; location, an American college; and will feature Gordon White, eighteen-year-old Hollywood High School boy. The pictures will be released under the firm name of Hollywood Photoplay Corporation. A wilful woman — Theda Bara is coming back to the screen, obstacles notwithstanding. She has formed her own company; elected herself president, and it is reported that the Pacific Bank on the Coast is acting as treasurer for Theda Bara Productions.

Have you ever wondered why the enormous cost of production is not cut by reusing the material employed in one set for others that follow? Well, it is, when it's suitable for the purpose. Part of the city of Babylon, of the film "Intolerance," was used as a war-wall in "Hearts of the World," and later for other productions. But one of the most interesting by-products of a movie set is the little church of Father Picarilly, Guadalupe, California, which has been reconstructed from the lumber salvaged from the City of Rameses in "The Ten Commandments," one of the largest structures erected for any film. Father Picarilly's church was built originally in 1844, when the Missions were falling into decay and when covered wagons were in vogue. It served well as a place of worship for the frontiersmen and later for the Forty-niners.
