III PHOTOM
J. HUTLER ELLISON EXCITES POLITICIANS BT ANNOUNCE¬ MENT OF NEW PHOTO FILM DE¬ PICTING WELL KNOWN SCENES
Political Freepori aud Nassau county became considerable excited yesterday afternoon when it l)ecanie whispered about that J. Huyler Elli¬ son was compiling the necessary data for a photoplay pertaining to politics in a country district. When Inter¬ viewed by a representative of this paper, Mr. Ellison frankly admitted the truth of the statement, outlining the nature of the play.
In the form of a comedy, it will depict well known scenes and events -which have happened in and around Nassau, Queens, Suffolk and other counties In New York State and New, Jersey, such aa the sale of Long! Beach, the pTeacher justice; the un-1 seating of a justice of the peace, the; snap election of a few years ago, rlv-1 airy for county, town and village of- ilces, the raliroad magnate's campaign for offlce, the county paper's tight for^ tax sale advertisements, etc. I
The play wlll alao depict a country tjoss of the hayseed type and variety and his lieutenant, the "deestrict committeeman," the oystermen's fight for a square deal, the leasing of town lands, the purchase of food for the Continued oii' Laat Pmtcm.

STATE SUPT, OF AGRICULTURE RAISES QUARANTINE AGAINST FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE- FARMERS REJOICE
The risld fniaraiitine which "was placed on Nassau county tor a num¬ ber of inonths haa been greatly re¬ laxed, by order isaued by State Super¬ intendent of Agriculture Charlea Wilson. In an order received hy Man¬ ager Lloyd R. Simons of the Nassau County Farm Bureau, the stale de¬ partment has aunounced that the quarantine against the hoof and mouth disease is lifted in Nassau county, e.Kcept on farms where the disease has actually been prevalent, and within three miles of where the disease has prevailed.
The Quarantine was felt to be a hardship by residents of Nassau county, who ,under the quarantine were not allowed to take their cattle from their places. The removal of the quarantine was received with en¬ thusiasm by the management of the Queens-Nassau Counties Agricultural Society. This association will hold the Mineola fair in September, and the cattle exhibit is one of the big features, and with the quarantine In existence the exhibition would have been greatly handicapped.
Announcement TO THE CITIZENS OF FREEPORT
The organization of the Governor's Bo.ss Photo Play Company by several lopresentiitive Freeport buainess men two months ago for the film pro¬ duction of Senator James S. Barcus' vivid portrayal of the impeachment of William Sulzer. in which tho Ex- Governor would take the leading part, aroused no amall amount of in¬ terest among the residents of the .South Side comrauniiies, especially in this village. It was indeed truthfully heralded ns one of the biggest ad¬ vertising mediums Kreeport could possibly have since it was generally known that many thousands of films would be taken in this locality.
A keen interest tfas manifest in the project, the enthusiasm reaching its highest ahout three weeks ago when directors, actors, photographers and property men arrived here and "jumped" into the work. Hut the story of their work and the scenes takeu has been printed in previous issues, suffice to say that they only served to cncrease the villagers' in¬ terest and desire for more complete details of tlie making of photo fllms.
The editor of The Nasaau Post was most fortunate in being able to secure an exclusive Interview with J. Huy¬ ler Ellison, president of the Pholo Play Company, at his reeidence last Tuesday, in which he outlined en¬ thusiastically the inner workings of th production of a moving picture play.
"The Governor's Boss was first pre¬ sented to me," saitf Mr. Ellison, by some New York friends and having reafi the book, which by the way ia, as you know, from the pen of Senator James S. Barcus and depicts the im¬ peachment of Ex-Governor Sulzer, I at once realized its possibilities. The scenario was written by Charies E. Davenport, writer, actor and director.
"The selection of a director was the first and most important task that we were confronted with. Mr. Dav¬ enport waa chosen because of his ability, which he has proven to my entire satisfaction. His wonderful methods ot drilling and rehearsing the cast and his quick action and stern methods fascinated one. For two solid weeks while In the studio, from 9 a. m. until midnight and quite often later, he clearly demonstrated that Hiram Tally was not the "Boss" —the one "Boss" of the production was Davenport.
" 'Happy' Jack Brown, his as¬ sistant, was always on 'the job' and kept the cast in good humor dally; he was well earned *his title of 'the Canadian Cyclone.'

sonagc of Importance that one has to consider. In this case we selected Fred Armitage, one of the best in the business. Many a photo play is spoiled by poor iihotography.
"Next comes the properly man. We made an oxcellent .'^election in Otis Iiiiiler. 1 rcnieniher the day he was engas'id: live minutes after he signed the (ontract he starlet! to work with a "vim" and was there with tlie goods whenever the director wanted him.
"The selection of tlie cast was no easy jol). Hundreds of actors and actres-ses applied lor positions; many well-known stars \v( ;c turned down, in fact, we wore uot booking names, but a cast of ahiiity. We could sec nothini<- in a name.
"Anna Logan was .Tssigned the part of 'Ruth,' the leadiii.i; lady because we believed she h.id the necessary dramatic ability—and sho has cer¬ tainly mado good. HlLiic Balfour was (hosen for the part of 'Edith,' the Governor's daughtiT, lieeause she looked and acted the part of a pretty well-bred, sweet, girlisii daughter of a governor; Baroness von Raven as 'Grace P'orgiiyon' because of her abil¬ ity to take the part of a girt of the lower class and she ctrtainly "pul it across.'
"Pauline Hall, as Mrs. Morton, a rich so; iety woman, acting a.s a go- between, was Indeed clever. Her cos¬ tumes and jewels aro the flnest ever shown on the sorff.n.
"F,. V. SiilliviJi?* as Hi.>-.'iTn Tully, the 'Boss,' did the part of tho typical
MUVLCE gLUSON.PfcESlDEt^f
political leader with a striking gen¬ uineness. Any one Interested in tbe inside workings of a political ring, will appreciate our selection of Sulli¬ van-—he certainly gets the coin. Ed¬ ward Roseman, as Fordyce, the gover¬ nor's secretary, looked and played the part to perfection, as did Bert Tuey, as the governor's son, a sneaking chip of the old block.
"I could go on and name all of the cast but what's the use, suffice it to say that we were nearly one week se¬ lecting the characters with the excep¬ tion of ex-Governor Sulzer who of course could nol be duplicated; there is but one 'Bill' Sulzer and the only governor of New York that has ever been impeached.
"The cost of producing and dis¬ tributing the 'Governor's Boss' will be close to $30,000, and considering the many mishaps and accidents, I con¬ sider the company Is getting off lucky at that, as five of the cast were more or less Injured in the enactment of the scenes.
"I remember one day at the studio," eaid Mr. :p:illson' as he ges- tered with his hands, "Miss Anna Logan having working for sixteen hours steady, leave for home with her arma, chest and back a mass of bruises and black and blue spots. Roy Garhis, as 'Tango,' survived wtth his two broken ribs the result of his jump from one fast moving auto Into an¬ other In Freeport.
"All of the mob scene men and women were engaged through the agency of Befi Weiss, and at tlmee the studio would be crowded with theee mobs, compelled to wait hours before their turn came.
"As I presume I told yau before," said Mr. Ellison in a tone of satisfac¬ tion and extreme pleasure, "many well known Freeporters visited the studio from time to time and were given parts to onact: Charlie Wins¬ ton, ae a camp&isn speaker; Charles Sigmond, ae clerk of the impeachment
court; Thomas Forbes and 'Al' Dor- Ian as policy players, and Frank Iinnty as policy seller.
"I was especially anxious to have as much Freeport in this film as pos¬ sible and liad ovor thirty scenes taken in and about the village. You re¬ memher tlie large sign, 'Freeport' in tho station campaign speech picture.
"All the interior scenes were laken iu Mitteuthal's Studio where the cast worked for ten days and nights.
"If you iiave never visiled a studio to see a photoplay enacted you should do so aa it is well worth a few hours of your time. At the Mittenthal Studio there is room for four sets to be made at one timo. While the di¬ rector is enacting one scene, the prop¬ erty man, electricians and scone shift¬ ers are preparing another, and at times It almost drives ono raad. The putting up and taking down of scen¬ ery, hammering of nails, .shifting of liglits, yelling of director, the talking and laughing of mobs is simultaneous.
"It is necessary for ono to 'wear amber glasses around the studio otherwise the intense light wiil affect the eyes.
"What Interested me most was the loug tedious hours the cast has to work, especialy in companies not in stock. All that are to participate are lold the night before to appear at the studio at !) a. m. the following morn¬ ing 'made up.' This means that they have to he there at 8.30, frequently working until 1 or 2 the next morn¬ ing, no time being allowed for lunch or dinner. The producing company furnishes both meals,- consisting of two sandwiches, a piece of cake, a piece of pie and a cup or two of coffee.
"Can you imagine an actress work¬ ing sixteen or seventeen hours a day almost every day. 1 have seen Miss Logan arrive at the studio at 9 a. m. and work until 1 o'clock, make eight or ten changes of costume, all with¬ out a murmur. I have seen Miss fialfour there at 9 a. m. waiting around all day for her scene which the director found he could not reach and ahout 11 p. m. was told that he (ould not reacli her that day but to appear the next day at 9 a. ni. I hope some of our young girls und young men of Freeport will road this before they get that longing to be a 'photo- Play star.'
"We thought at first that we would have a hard time with Mr. Sulzer owing to the long hours and the grub, but after the flrst few days he was just as democratic as the rest of Us and ate his lunch from a paper bag. He stood the strain as well as the others and seemed to enjoy the novelty. This Is the flrst photoplay he has taken part in. It is also the first offense for Pauline Hall.
"Exterior scenes were the hardest to take owing to the crowds. While at Albany it was almost impossible to obtain our pictures."
