THE "JOYS” OF FILM ACTING.
Being a kinema producer has its little drawbacks. Griffith certainly discovered that when he was film- ing the dratha of the South Seas, "The Idol Dancer." He took his Company to Jamaica, where most of the picture was acted, and dis-g covered that he wanted a storm. The Company went out in a small steamer to get the scene, but they had more realism than they wanted. The little craft became water- logged and sank. But just as the ship was going down and the party were beginning to give up hope along came American seaplanes, which had been sent Government to search for them, out by the United States and the Company were rescued. "The Idol Dancer" is a gorgeous production and some of the South Sea scenes are wonderful. Richard fame) takes the principal part, a Barthelmess of" Way Down East" beachcomber. The film is being shown to-day and to-morrow at the Coronet.
