much astuteness in the selection of
this story for him. \Ve recommend

she does full justice to it.

By Author of “The

Screen
How do you stampede four thou-
sand cattle,
That was one of the many ques-
tions faced by Producer Irvin Wil-
lat during the filming of Porn-
mount’s "North of 36." which is due
next Monday at the Regent Theatre.
Despite the fact that an advisory
board of ten expert cattle-men was
engaged. none of them could evolve
a, satisfactory solution of the prob-
lem.
One man suggested the herd be
driven over buried powder and the
powder exploded. Mr. Willat turned
down this idea. on the promise that
several of the animals would be ln~
Jured. Featured players in the pic-
titre—Jack Holt. Ernest Torre-nee
and Noah Berry included—suggested
that. they ride in among the herd
shooting revolvers with blank cart-
ridges. This plan was also rejected
by Mr. \Villat because of the risk to
the mm.
It remained for on aviator. of
Houston. Texas. to come to the res-
cue. L‘pon lnstr otions from Mr.
Willat. the air ilot swooped his
Iplanc over the herd of four thou-
sand long-horns twenty feet above
their heads and a genuine stampede
resulted.
There are any number of similar
thrills awaiting in "North of 36."
