FIRST FILM TAKEN.
IN WESTMINSTER ABBEY. For the first time in history, cinematographers were permitted to film the interior of Westminster Abbey, the operators of a British company working all night with 14,000 candle-power arc lamps. They took close-ups of the inscription of the Grave of the Unknown Warrior and other features and scenes, which will be incorporated in a travel film. The Abbey authorities notified that permission would not be given if the film contained actors or plot.
