A “MOVIE” ACTOR.

LETTER FROM ROMAINE FIELDING.

Mr Syd. Bernard has received the following fetter, under date, Philadelphia, October 12th, bom Korusine Fielding, the well-known ciuematograph actor: — Your breezy letter from 50 fai away reached me here a. d was of course tickled to death to hear from you, also received the views and .1 tried to picture your home and you As you will see from this letter am no longer in Colorado having been called in to the home office at the beginning of the war to take war pictures in Europe, but the authorities were so against a move like this that it was thought best for me to ’emain in America, and have been producing photo-plays at Betzwcod, the new Lubin studio, for the last seven weeks, with the exception of three when myself and company were in Phillipsburg, Pa., taking ‘menes of a train wreck. Lubin bought a, freignt and a passenger train for Mils, purpose, and everything came O't fine; the scenes are to be used in t‘e following pictures which I am now working upon: “In the Valley of LoM Hope,” “In the Hour of Disaster,” “The Brute and the Jug.” This last named is a rather unusual picture, T think, showing a man in all stages of intoxication from one drink on '‘down 1 ; to 'where he'becom'es a 'finit', - and I hope it will serve a good purpose in the world. Have you seen any of my comedies overthere? “OiV Circus Hay’ ’and “That Little German Band,” “All ! for Love,” and “Love and Flames”—all comedies and produced in Colorado have been released in ,the last month, as well as “The Dreamer,” a two-reel drama.

“Eagles Nest” will soon he released now, and I hope yon will he able to see it, for it is one of the best fever turned out by the Lubin Company Notice what you say about putting on some of Rex Beache’s stories, and this is a very good idea, the, company here have put on “The Spoilers,” and as I have a bee in my bonnet to go to the Klondike country, where the scenes of these stories are laid, perhaps I can manage it, but at present everything is indefinite and it is bard to say where I will be from time to time, but do not want tc stay in the east any longer than possible. Am sending you, under separate cover, one of my pictures, and hope it reaches you all right and that you will like it. WouTa like to have one of yours if you would send me one and assure you it would be appreciated. We are having beautiful autumn weather here, and there you are enjoying your spring, isn’t it funny? Perhaps sometime I will take a trip around the world and stop off to see you, it has bean ray desire to go around the world taking photoplays as I went, for a number of years, and. perhaps my dream will come true, who Knows? Do you hear much of the war in your part of the world? In America, we can’t realise that just on the other side of the waters, men are being killed down by the thousands—mav God grant that peace soon be restored. Well, old pal, my train will be due in fifteen minutes, and I have a two-block walk to the station, so will bid you good morning—have been nibbling at my breakfast while writing you, trying to kill two birds with one stone. Write me soon as you can and tell me what you are doing from day to day, with best wishes to your good mother and to yourself, believe me, as ever, your sincere friend, ROMAINE FIELDING.
