THE MOTION PICTURE NEWS
OCEAN TRAVELERS "WORK" FOR RELIANCE
As the largest ocean liner afloat, the "Imperator," was about to leave her moorings on her last trip, the passengers were unconsciously posing for a motion picture camera. They did not even take a second look at the stylishly gowned Norma Phillips and her actor companions of Reliance, who were working among them for the benefit of a film and many of them will be very much surprised "to see themselves as others see them" in a motion picture theatre.
Travers Vale, the producer, realized that he would have to work very carefully in order to keep the passengers from knowing that they were being photographed so that they would not look at the camera and spoil the dramatic value of his work. Several scenes were taken on the different decks of the huge vessel, together with an excellent view of the great boat getting under way for her ocean voyage.
