"Code of the West." to be shown at the Palace tomorrow. Friday and Saturday. “The scene required more nerve than anything I have ever seen." de- clared director William K. Howard. after it w. over. “Yet neither Mr. Moore nor Miss Bennett would agree to use a. double. They displayed what I believe is.one of the greatest bits f courage o‘er brought out in a mo ion picture." ' In the phoioplay both Moore and Miss Bennett ere hemmed in on all sides by a terrific forest fire and their only hope of escape is to Jump into the river for below. They make the leap and land in the stream where they are immediately rescued by a. party waiting on the bank. This scene comes as a fitting and tremendous climax to a series of tense. dramatic events which have their beginning when Miss Bennett. who impersonatee a vivacious flap- per from the East. goes West for her health. \amps Moore. a sturdy \oung cow boy, and then deliberately turns him down when he proposes. The cow boy. unaccustomed to the \iewpoinl. of the East. where such conduct is lightly regarded. deier~ mines to teach .her a lesson. He kidnaps her. forces her. at the point of a' gun. to marry him and then carries her off to his cabin in the forest wilderness. It is there that the forest fire traps them and then «well. then comes one of the might- iest thrills ever flashed on to screen. "Code of the West" was adapted to the screen by Lucien Hubbard un- der the personal supervision of Zane Grey. AFRICA is NOT wonsr PLACE TO MAKE MOVIE The most perilous place to film motion pictures is not in Africa. with its Junglea filled with wild ani- lees-u- mals and deadly snakes. nor in Ales- ‘ kn. nor any of the other places where cranking a camera is fraught with supposed danger. but right here in the United States. This is the opinion of Reginald Barker. director. who filmed “The White Desert." which is being shown today and tomorrow at the Rrgent theatre. Barker filmed this picture atop the Continental Divide in Colorado. I-le belietes that the top of the United States presents more obsta- cles and periie'tben anything he has ever tackled in his directorial career. “The picture called for scenes showing a. train plowing through a blizzard to the reecue'of a snow be- sieged construction camp. It sound- ed simple. but it involved four cam- eramen perched on the rocky moun- tain siderwhile the blizzard raged and they waited “for the train to pass through the cut:’photograph_y under the most dimcuit weather conditions imaginable. with the tem- perature far below the zero snark; the possibility of death or injury from exposure. and the chance of becoming lost. "The high winds. biting cold and« sudden changes of weather made this sequenca‘end others that were filmed there the hardest tasks that I had ever tackled in my career. We were up elven elevation of 11.669 feet. The snows have been so heavy in that vicinity that once they held u‘p a train fdr thirty days.” Barker said. ‘ _ It was under conditions such as these that Barker made’one of the finest pictures of his career. He has become famous in the put for his out-door pictures but his latest contribution is a living. breathing drama from the top of the world that far surpasses any of his other efforts. The cast of "The White Desert" is headed by Claire Windsor. rat O'Malley and Robert Fraser and lncld’dea Frank Currier. Mathew Ben. Trixie Frigenu. Salts Ed- wards. William Eugene. Sidney Breoey. Priscilla Bonner. Roy Leid- lew. David Dunbar. Sella. Milton Rose and Bert Sprotte. The scenario was written by L. G ngby from the popular novel by Courtney Byley Cooper.
