At first there was some difliculty as regards lighting, but two lorries outside the house in the Boulevard Percire fed the small arc and other lamps by means of electric cables, and for seven weeks the filming of the French actress continued.

Lucy Doraine, a French film actress, greatly distinguishes herself in Le Sixidme Commandemeni — like La Roue, another of the modern tragedy films, but one in which the ancient note is very effectively combined. The destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah is here shown in full, contrasting with a similar incident in modern life, the scenes of which are laid in the fashionable world of Paris salons, with men in evening dress. It is a Viennese film released by a French company, Eclair, and cost twenty million francs. It took two years to make, and \ has a cast of fifteen thousand.
M. Louis Feuillade, the famous French metteur en seine, is a hard taskmaster when it comes to realism and detail in films. Recently when he required a vessel for his latest film, La RevenanU, he went all the way to Spam, where he made his purchase, and then returned with it; to Nice. A terrific explosion occurs, j and the vessel is entirely destroyed.; I am told that a new actress pos-| sessing dramatic talent of ex-i ceptional value has just made her debut in a film called Corsica. Sheisj the Comtesse Rosella del Turco, and is a beautiful young woman with dark hair and flashing eyes, and a certain vivacity of expression that is particularly attractive. I understand that she is now at work on another film, both of which are to be released shortly in England.
