When it' was time, to make the sequences in which I meet Miss Todd, our director, Edward Cline, rented the local opera house in a small jstown. Miss Tood ,by the way, plays prima donna in a cheap burlesque troupe when I meet her. Miss Todd and the supporting cast were, on the stage ready to go through with the scene under Cline’s direction i.when a t tall, rough looking mountaineer walked in the stage door and halted —proceedings. “‘Who,’ he inquired, and you could hear his voice y» mile away, who told *you people to 'put on a, show here without ; a?; perinit!? ltm the sheriff, justice of the peace, the constable here, and I should know about -this- before you '.start.’ “Cline hgd to accompany the indignant officer to the local- hotel, and show him proof that it was to be a private preformance for rhovie purposes only,- before we could continue shooting.” \
