APPENDICES 385
1920, scenario by M. Porta et F. P. Amiguet, of Lausanne; principal actors Germaine Rouer et Maxudian.
" Les Origines De La Confederation Suisse " (" The Origin of the Swiss Confederation "), filmed in 1923, by Harder (American), for the American producers "Sunshine"; the cast was composed entirely of Swiss actors.
" Visages D'Enfants " (" Children's Faces "), French film by J. Feyder, filmed for the greater part in the Valais, under the direction of A. Porchet, of Geneva.
" La Vocation D 'And re Carrel " (" The Vocation of Andre Carrel "), film by Jean Choux, filmed on the shores of the Leman (Lake of Geneva).
" La Conquete Dramatique Du Cervin " (" The Dramatic Conquest of the Matterhorn "), German film by Arnold Fanck, photographed mainly at Zermatt.
" Petronella," a German film made in Switzerland and representing Swiss historic events.
Of all these foreign films, only the ones by Dr. A. Fanck are really remarkable, especially " La Montagne Sacree " (" The Sacred Mountain "), which, I am told, was a world success, and "L'Enfer Blanc Du Piz Palu " ("The White Hell of Piz Palu "), which is now exhibited in most European capitals, and which is also a remarkable reproduction.
The best Swiss film is " L'Appel De La Montagne," which I have mentioned at the beginning of this letter, and the best foreign film produced in Switzerland, with the help of Swiss actors, is " Visage D'Enfants," also mentioned above.
The principal film companies in Switzerland are the following : —
