AMUSLAMENTS. ORE than 10,000 miles were tra- versed by Reginald Barker and his company in finding and filming guitable locations for “Women Who A &reat majority of the scenes were the New England coast tions used included the beautiful regions around Bolinas Bay, ' Duxbury Reef, the Devil's cave, near San Francisco, and Laguna Beach. Many months ago, when Mr. Barker was first assigned to make a_motion pleture of Sarah P. McLean Greene's “Cape Cod Folks,” from which “Wom- en’ Who Give" 'was made, he took Robert Frazer, who plays the leading male role, and his camera man, Percy Hilburn, on a long cruise on the Atlantic. They encountered several of the' severest storms of that motorious storm section, but they “shot” some of the most realistic scenes over caught by a motion picture camera. ‘The Messrs. Barker, Frager and Hilburn were taken aboard a char- tered fishing schooner on_their ar- rival at Newfoundland. They sailed out to the Grand Banks, where ten other “schooners were taking in a “big catch.” Many thrilling events were photographed here, among them a battle with a 600-pound swordfish, and after many weeks spent with this fleet they joined the other mem- bers of the company on location at Cape Cod. Among_the scenes photographed at the Grand Banks was a storm at sea, taken aboard ship, uction scenes on the deck with the' fishing fleet as a background and the many exciting incidents in the lives of men who | make a living by going down to the sea in shifs.

In several states. among them Kan- zas, the municipalities are authorized to levy a tax for the support of a 1nunicipal band, “Membership in the town band brought a uniform, and I do not pre- tond to be original when I remark that nothing patches the feminine eve cuite as quickly as a uniform.

UTH STONEHOUSE, one of the first heroines of the screen, has returned to motion pictures after a stage connection that was to bave been permanent. Away from Los Angeles and studio life for nearly a year, Miss Stone- house toured the country in “In Old Kentucky," playing Madge, and upon the close of its season went into Yaudeville as the star of & headline act. But in spite of this success, she only needed a strong enough induce ment to lure her bacs to the screen, and it came in the opportunity to play Ethel Durland in Regin: Barker's production of the Meredith Nicholson story, “Broken Barriers,” which Is just ‘oing into production at the Louis B.

Under the heading “The Passing of the Bullfight,” in a recent news- paper article by Mary Weld Coates, this question is asked and comment expressed to substantiate the possi- bility of such a thing. ‘The fact that there are sald to be no popular favorites in the ranks of the matadors in Spain at present has caused interest In pastime to rapidly wane.
