TOURISTS. THRILL
Interesting Movie Incident.
A number of tourists, viewing the marvels of Southern California
for the first time, got an unexpect
ed thrill when they chanced to -view the screening of one of the big scenes of "Her Reputation," Thomas H. Ince's, intest picture dealing with the power of the
press.
Mr. Ince's home in Beverly Hills was used as the location for the screening of a Spanish marriage fiesta, one of the spectacular scenes of the production. The home is such a perfect type of old Spanish architecture that it is frequently mistaken for one of the old Spanish missions,
While the fiesta scenes were "rubber neck being made there, a wagon" passed by one day. The actors were waiting for a scene to be "shot," and tourists could sea

FILM TRIUMPH,
Where the Pavement, Ends."
Rex Ingram has scored again. anything less than that about one We have never been able to write
of Mr. Ingram's productions and probably we never shall. This director seems satisfied with noth- ing less than perfection, not a mere technical perfection but that super- perfection which means artistle realism, finesse, and distinction- and all of these he has attained in bis latest production for Metro, Where the Pavement Ends,"
This picture is different from anything Mr. Ingram has ever done, but it bears that: stamp of real genius which characterized "The Four Horse- men," Prisoner of Zenda and "Trifling Women." It is an extraordinary photoplay in every particular, in direction, acting, settings, story and photography.
It is a tale of how love came into the life of the daughter of a South Seas missionary. What better 'setting for a tale of romance than the faraway islands of the Southern Pacific. Here is romance in its essence." The very atmosphere breeds romance-the clean, white beaches leaping in the brilliant sun, the tall, waving palms against a glowing sunset, the soothing breezes of a moonlit night. And all this strange, exotic atmosphere of luxuriant, nature and heart filling romance is transferred to the screen with amazing reality.
Little wonder that Matilda dreamed of love, and little wonder that love came to her in so strange a way. But the path of love for her was not smooth. There was Gregson, the villainous trader, and enemy of the man she loved. He was the richest man on the island and her father wanted her to marry him. And Gregson wanted her.
