SCRAPPING A FILM.
Continued from page 3.1.
DOGGED BY THE BETTER 'O'EL' Mr. G. W. Pearson, film producer) who gave evidence regarding the qualities of Mr. Bentley's work, was asked in cross-examination by Mri Hastings: Did you ever hear of a. fim called "The Better 'Ole???—Yes unfortunately.
Why unfortunately-Because it has followed me about. (Laughter.) Do you mean it has dogged your footsteps?--Yes... (Laughter.)
Was it as good la filmr as "The Lackey and the Lady"-I think it
W35.
Was "The Better "Ole" sold for £20,000-I am not at liberty to say
Don't be afraid. Was it somewhere in the neighbourhood of that sums 2-m it had some relationship to a large figure. (Laughter.)
Mr. Ingholme, writer of scenarios for film plays, was asked by Mr. Hastings Have you seen the photo- graph from the film of the old gentle man with the poker and the under shirt? Yes.
What does the shirt on the end of the bed convey to you?-I consider it as showing that he has risen to such a state of acence that be considered a shirt necessary. (Lond laughter.) It left no doubt in any body's mind that he had got one.
His Lordship You have seen the picture of the millionaire in bis room Does It give a fair reproduction of the character as it would be under stood from the book?-It is rather on the lines of the cartoon. Some times you have to cartoon characters. as the public is still a little dense la following a plot.
His Lordship-We are getting on? We are doing our best. (Laughter.)
ELOW ON THE HEAD.
Mr. Travers, scenario manager at Bushey, who was one of the actors in. "The Lackey and the Lady," asked by Mr. Hastings whether he thought the incident in the film in which he was struck on the head with a club was properly done, replied with emphasis: "It was jolly well done, I think! (Laughter.) With any other man. unless he knew his business, I should not put my nap, I mean my head, in the way of his stick." (Laughter.)
I remember," added witness," that the camera man taking the film yelled out at the time, 'He's hit him," and the man who had done it thought I was "going out.""
The hearing was adjourned, to give

On the island of Ponape, in the Caroline Isles, there are the immense stone ruins of a maritime city that in the full magnificence of its past grandeur would have rivalled Venice' at its best. There have been piers, canals, palaces, and temples in this dead city. On the Island of Lele in the same group there are also stone

the outlying island of Yap there exist. still the pyramidal terraces that mark the advance of this wonderful race in all parts of the world, a race that must have originated from Central America, and which probably initiat ed the civilisations of Cambodia, Java, Ceylon, Chaldea, and Egypt. Another feature of the island is that of the stone rings, similar to those which crown the statues on the out-- lying islands of the Austral and Paumoto groups, in the extreme eastern Units of the Pacific. On the Pelow Islands these quarries of stone rings also exist, and have been wrong. ly likened to stone money. It is a strange fact that these rings were taken from here to Easter Island and the adjoining isles, which seems fo prove the undoubted connection of these islands: so far apart. in the extreme ends of the ocean, a fact which must mean that these islands either belonged at one time to the same empire, or must have had commercial relations. The existence. of paved roads on. Yap shows a simil arity to those of Peru. The name of Babelthuap suggests a Semitic. origin, but that is easily explained the when we find out from ancient historian Pliny that these Islands of the East Indies were known to be Infested by Arab. Dirates as early as 2,000 BC The fact is that it is we western races that have been so recently civilised in the bistory of the world, that we now. find It difficult to reconstruct Batisfactorily the ancient history of other races. We are unwill ing to admit their antiquity, as we wish to be considered the only di civilised races of the earth. But the as yet, most casual researches prove that the world has been inhabited by civilised races in periods so remote
