In a short space of time over $100,000 went up in smoke, attracting thou- sands of motorists from the highways to the scene of the blaze, several miles from the center of Hollywood. .. -- vâ€"cm- 'â€"_v Fire engines from the film city were on the ground, their hose stretching over a half mile to the nearest water connection. The fact that the giant blaze was staged for an episode in “Ramona” did not matter a particle! Even the oldest old-timer, hardened with all the vauvwv v-â€" vâ€"â€"__-_ thrills the movie city offers daily, stood with the crowd and agreed it was a real, not “reel” conflagration. Edwin Carewe, directing “Ramona” starring Dolores Del Rio, engaged three' hundred Indians to participate in the scene. Over one hundred Holly- wood cowboys were included in the massacre which showed the whites demolishing an entire Indian village and razing it to smoldering debris. . The shrill cries of the Indians, aid-l ed by the excitement of the scene , combined with the roar of the fire en- gines and the movie generators, could be heard for many blocks, attracting many autoists, all eager to rush to the fire, few of them suspecting it was staged for a motion picture. Old-timers compared the scene to the giant settings which D. W. Grifiith erected for “Intolerance” and other ifilms of nearly ten years ago. The film- ing was continued into the early even- ]ing hours and the flames leapink sky- lward, provided a most spectacular ef- MOMIES ‘VVV. Carewe and a corps of assitants1 made all precautions against acidents. The fire apparatus was needed only after the cameras stopped choking, to sprinkle the smouldering buildings and to put out any hidden flames No cas- ualties were reported. The fire, truly recorded by the Inspiration Pictures- Edwin Carewe cameras, will form a brilliant part of “Ramona” which will be at the Star Theatre next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, December {31, January 1 and 2. My enemy came nigh. Stared fiercely in his face. My lips went writhing back in a grimace, And stern I watched him, with a nar- row eye. Then, as I turned away, my enemy, That bitter heart and savage, said to “SonTeâ€" day, when this is past, Wher. all the arrows that we have We may ask each other why we hate, And fail to find 2 story to relate. It may seem to us then a mystery That we could hate each other.” Thus said he, And did not turn away, Waiting to hear what I might have to say, But I fled quickly, fearing if I stayed I might have kissed him as I would a râ€""U_ A latémiuéi’ Ross.

This from as well travelled a man as the head of the World’s Greatest Travel System was a decided ap- preciation. “In addition to the opportunities for sport which are unsurpassed and attract tourists from both the United States and Canada, you have the historic associations such as typified by the Evangeline legend which the Canadian rPacific and Dominion Atlantic Companies have successfully preserved and featured. It seems to us only right that the railway which came into existence as a fulfilment of one of the terms of Confederation should encourage such travel to your cities and other historic places," he said. “That travel has grown apace during the last few years and it was because of this fact among others that at rthe soli- citation of your business men we joined with them in the building of this hotel.

It is situated in the heart of the city and (fronting on the Botanical Gardens that have helped to make this old city famous. Within and without, the appearance of the hotel reflects great credit on its architects and builders. In building and in decoration it is Georgian in character, and throughout the hotel and particularly in the public rooms, a most successful effort has been made to express the period recalled by the historic name associated with it. Immediately inside the front doors is a handsome and spacious lobby, which at once gives the keynote of Georgian decoration.

In this room and in the adjacent assembly hall the attempt to recapture the atmosphere of two hundred years ago has been particularly suc- cessful. The chief feature is the fine fireplace over which is an excellent copy in oils of the full length portrait of Lord Nelson which was painted shortly before his death. In one corner stands a fine copy of the well known bust of this hero, and on the center table is a splendid model of his ship “The Victory.” The end of this room opens into the assembly hall which is large enough to seat about 250 people comfortably. At one end is an ample stage with the usual dressing rooms and disappearing footlights. Leading from the other side of the lobby up a short flight of marble steps is a foyer, and beyond that the main dining room. 011 the floor beneath the lobby are a series of fine shops opening on the street, and here also is the spacious grill, which in keeping with the nautical flavour notable elsewhere in the building, is termed “The Ward Room”. Its woodwork is of oak and its ceiling crossed by hewn beams. It is lit by ships lanterns of brass and by candelabra designed from binnacle lights and ships steering wheels. The furniture also is of stout oak. Other features of this floor are a barber shop, beauty shop and the usual public services. The bedroom floors include a number of fine suites of which the Royal Suite is an outstanding example. Like the other its character of decora- tion is in keeping with the rest of the hotel. It consists of sitting room, dining room and two bed- rooms, and its furnishings include some fine exam- ples of early Georgian. The bathrooms and general plumbing and heating arrangements throughout are up to the most modern standard as also are all the facilities for public service. Baked for supper's mighty good.
