22 -THE MOVING PICTURE WEEKLY TWO INTERESTING SCENES FROM THE ANIMATED MfEEKLY /N Animated Weekly No. 82 there are a number of scenes of more tlian usual interest. Uncle Sam loosened up on censorship long enough to permit the Animated Weekly cameraman to take a few scenes in the training camp which he has established not far from New York City. The scene at the top of this page represents one of the supply houses to be used for the army plant, where forty thousand men at a time will be prepared for service in France. It is situated at Yaphank, L. I., less than forty miles from New York City. It requires an army of seven thousand men to prepare this location for active use, and the scenes from the Animated show work on the barracks, giant tractors preparing roads and leveling the parade ground, top-surfacing the roads, and the enjoyment that the laboring force take in a made-to-order shower bath after their day's work is done. The other scene represented here shows Secretary McAdoo giving Serbian Minister Michailovich the last check of the three million dollar loan which Uncle Sam promised the stout-hearted little fighting nation which has lost all but a small comer of its beloved Serbia. From left to right the men in the picture are M. Michailovich, Secretary McAdoo, Assistant Secretary Crosby, and United States Counselor Frank Polk. Next week's Animated will also contain a number of very umisual scenes, notably one of Raemaekers <i Dutch artist upon whose head the Kaiser has put a price. ANOTHER FOR ALICE HOWELL. r)IRECTOR-GENERAL J. G. BLY STONE— who has the ability to supei-vise the work of the other directors of the L-Ko in addition to directing a company of his own — has started another picture featuring Alice Howell under the Century Comedy Banner. This story has to do with a blacksmith who has Alice forever in his clutches. There is a thrill promised in this picture that will far surpass anything yet accomplished by Director Blystone. The situations leading up to this thrill are very humorous and original, and are bound to please the laugh-seeking public. The picture will be two reels, and has not been named. It will be released by the Longacre Distributing Company. L-KO NOTES. "A ^URAL C^SAR" is the working title of a picture now being constructed by Director Phil Dunham. This comedian's sudden desire to direct came to the notice of the L-Ko production office, and an opportunity was given him. He has as his principal comedian, Bill Bevins, and as his leading lady, Lucille Hutton. ■y^IN MOORE has purchased a new car and can be seen any evening after six, riding through the residential districts of Los Angeles in search of ideas that will enhance the laugh value of Merta Sterling, his fat and jovial lady comedienne, whom he is at present featuring in a two-reel comedy, the working title of which is, "Railroad Ties That Bind." WALT STEVENS is a new addition to the L-Ko staff of featured comedians. He is being directed by Noel Smith, who really deserves a lot of the credit for Mr. Stevens' success, having practically discovered Walt for pictures. The working title of Walt's present picture is "A Western Romance." "Behind the Map" Dja ever see Bill Franey teach school? Some teacher, believe me. He makes two mistakes. He makes love to the town bully's best girl, and the reason for his disappearance "Behind the Map," the play is titled, has to do with a little black bottle Bill makes too frequent use of. When the map falls down Bill is sure in bad. This is a scream, and the laughs every foot.
