EVERYBODYS PICTURES.

THE HUNTED WOMAN’ -TO-NIGHT.

Picture Inns who sit in a nice warm theatre and see beautiful scenes, majestic trees covered with mantels of snow and the impressive grandeur of snow-capped peaks, have little realization of the hardships endured to capture those scenes with a camera. Many magnificent -scenes were “ shot ” by Director .lolm Conway for the William Pox production ‘'The Hunted Woman,' 1 in the Yosemite Valley, California. Here are to be found unrivalled vistas, if one travels over almost impassable trails in (lie winter season, while enduring intense cold. The sequence which Conway took in the Yosmitc required a great deal of snowshoe hiking and horseback riding on trails which, according to the players, were balanced on the ragged edge of nothing and felt slippery as an eel’s elbow. Seena Owen, playing the feminine lead in the picture, remarked that she was thankful for the strenuous action called for by the script, because when she was permitted ostensibly 1o rest for a short while between scenes she nearly froze to death and was forced to dance around madly to keep her blood circulating. in addition to Miss Owen, the cast included Earl Schenck, Harvey Clark. Diana Miller and Francis McDonald. The Princess Theatre will show the film version of Curwood’s novel “The Hunted Woman,” to-night. On Thursday next Fane drey’s great story of “ The Thundering Herd ” will he shown in conjunction with Ronnie and Monty. Vaudeville Artists from the Fuller circuit.
