ON HIGHWAY FILM
ftf
Officials Take Large Number
Pictures of the Beauty Spots
. Around Omaha.
MOVE ON TO FREMONT TODAY
The Lincoln highway delegation
spent a busy day yesterday operating
their . moving picture machines.
Views were taken In the parks aird
on the boulevards, along residence
streets and at Happy Hollow. Thirty
second : avenue was featured and
Thirty-eighth street was filmed.
Mrs. Glenn Wharton had her pic
ture taken on the film in that sec
tion devoted to views of "beautiful
Omaha."..
At Hanscom park a series of pictures
were taken ehowlng the children
on
the alldea and swing,, nnd showing, also
the lake with the fountain olavlni:.
Other views of the boulevards and parks
wera taken at tha entrance to Miller
park. . ,
Leon Loeb proved himself an operator
of no mean ability when he managed the
children on tha slides in Hanscom park.
Crowds of children, all anxious to hava
their pictures tsken, . varmed up the
steps of the slide. v4 crowded onto
the platform at the top. Only after
considerable delay could the picture be
taken, but tha group was finally thinned
oat until only the smaller children wera
left. . . ; .
Take Dlets's Menagerie,
Gould Delta's menagerlo was next. The
choice assortment of animals that Mr.
Diets baa brought home during his wan
derings about the world were caught in
their lalra and shot by the movie oper
ator. The party plans to leave Omaha this
morning at 8 o'clock for Fremont, whlrh
they will feature tomorrow. They plan
to be In Cheyenne on the 22nd, and In
rttfwThiB on the Mth, t.nt it Is poea'bly
that their schedule may become slightly
changed.
The party is much pleased over . the
reception accorded them In Omaha, and
Mr. Holden. secretary, to H. C. Oster
man, who is in charge of tha party, waa
quit enthusiastic over tha many places
of beauty in tha city.
Pick Vp Marblme Here. '
Tha party entered Omaha with four
automobiles, but leaves with an addi
tional one, which all of the party are
enthuslastlo about. Until ttiey reached
Omaha It waa necessary for them.t-)
carry all' of their baggasre with them In
the touring cars, but tha Vysmmnna
Auto company added a Little UVant
truck to the train of autoa ana' tha
duties of the"new addkion are mcieiy
to act as bargage car. The truck U a
present to the Lincoln .Highway asso
ciation from W. O. ptmtley, president
of the Chicago ' Pneumatic Tool corn
pan', manufacturers of the machine, for
whom Drummond Is the Omaha, repre
sentative. The new car is to be driven
by Q. E. Phillips and L.. Beardaley.
It la of Interest to note that Omaha
Is pictured on W per cent mora film by
the . Lincoln Highway people than any
other city between New York and "Jail
Francisco. Flv hundred feet were usd
here, whereas Vo 1 the amount ordi
narily aet as the maximum for any one

will be shown In a series called "From
Ocean to Ocean in Two Hours and. a
Half," which will first be exhibited n
baa Fraaclsco at tha exposition, and
finally tent to all parts of the country.
They will probably appear. here in the

(From a Staff Correnpondent.)
LINCOLN, July 11. (Rpeclal.)-The rl-
ivsJry whi'h exists In the taking of wo-
I tlon pictures by. the. different film con.
! ns was demonstrated Hera during tha
vlrtt of the Liberty Bell the last week,
when a Lincoln movie , man proposed to
show the representative of the firm
which had a monopoly on the pictures
taken on the trip that he wss not the
whole procession. ,
The outlde movie man had tha ad-
vanta)re of navlng hi, mttcMnt on th.
front end -of the car carrying the hell
and in this position appeared to think
he .had a lead pipe cinch. ' However," he
had never bei'ore run up against the real
thing In resources carried around by the
average Nebraskan and as a result has
not the only pictures taken of the event
In Lincoln. -
Ray Lindsay, the moving picture ma
chine .operator, who assists Dr. Condra
In the taking of the movies for the state
conservation and welfare commission,
made up his mind that tha traveling
representative ot an eastern concern
might think he had a cinch on tha bust
nee, but he would show him what Ne
braska could do as well, and as a conse
quence climbed to the top of a two-story
brick building In cloee proximity to the
bell and secured some especially fine
pictures, . showing ' the traveling movie
man desperately at work on the f roni
end of the car taking the "only author
Ized pictures of the trip."
