AFRICAN VOODOO MEN One of the fiercest battles ever enacted before the camera was staged in “The Claw,” which will be the entertainment at the Marton Town Hall on Saturday, Claire Windsor and Norman Kerry are the stars. Battle scenes and fight scenes are always left until the last in making a moving picture because fights are noted for their wear and tear on clothing and likelihood of injury to the participants. More than. 100 negroes, dressed in the* costume of East African natives, took part in the battle as did Norman Kerry and a score of whites. The skirmish was directed by Sidney Olcott and continued for the better part of four hours before enough satisfactory scenes were made to insure sgainst retakes.
