Rothacker, to make several thousand feet of negative for the popular Rothacker-Outdoor pictures. This expedition is headed by Stanley H. Twist as director, Ernest Powell, chief camera man and Charles Gordon, assistant, all of the staff of the Rothacker Film Manufacturing Company. Three or four of the best known guides in Canada have been employed to lead the photographers to the places where big game is plentiful. Calgary, Banff and Lake Louise are included in the itinerary and from Golden, the party will plunge into the wilderness, using packhorses to convey equipment and supplies. Thirty horses will be used to transport the party and it is planned to travel over 300 miles into the country, making pictures of beautiful scenery and wild animal life enroute. "Our attention will be given chiefly to making moving pictures of bears, the many kinds of deer that abound, mountain lions and moose," said Mr. Twist. "We will also bring back some beautiful scenic pictures. Following Mr. Rothacker's instructions to make only the highest class material for the Outdoor series, we are doing something that has seldom, if ever, been done before in this line of work. We are going with scenarios and titles already prepared. This means that the Outdoor pictures will be produced along the same lines as a photoplay — from manuscript. In other words, we are not going to 'shoot wild,' but have a definite errand. This has called for a long period of study concerning the natural beauty spots of the Northwest as well as its flora and fauna. The expedition might be called a 'big game hunt with the camera,' since six weeks of our time will be consumed in making big game pictures exclusively." §* FACTORIES FILMED rtrS Slide Advertisements Finance Campaign When a large real estate company con' tracted with Thomas D. Goldberg of the Walbrook theater, Baltimore, Md., for a five-week run of advertising slides, the financial success of the tax repeal campaign in Maryland was assured. Many exhibitors were skeptical of the Cleveland plan, not believing it would work out. Mr. Goldberg has convinced them and other large concerns, which recognize screen advertising as one of the most profitable forms of attention getting, are being lined up by the campaigners. An entirely new and interesting type of travelogue will make its appearance Oct. 1, when the first of the L. J. Burrud "scenic legends" will be released by BullsEye. Burrud is already on the first leg of his 20,000-mile journey through Western America.
