The remainder of the afternoon was devoted to the taking of several "close-ups" and an interior scene that had been built on the island rather than in the city studio of the Alectrion Film Corporation. The films taken earlier in the day were developed, and that evening after dinner Ruth and Helen joined Mr. Hammond and Mr.
He did these things, pausing for a last embrace of the weeping old lady, even as the hand of the arriving policeman was upon the door. "All for to-day, except some close-ups," announced Baird when this scene had been shot. There was a breaking up of the group, a relaxation of that dramatic tension which the heart-values of the piece had imposed.
How'd you ever keep him from getting wise?" Baird shrugged. "Easy! We caught him fresh." "How'd you ever win him to do all those falls on the trick spurs, and get the close-ups of them? Didn't he know you were shooting?" "Oh!" Baird shrugged again. "A little talk made that all jake. But what bothers me how's he going to act when he's seen the picture?" The girl became grave.
No close-ups in that, still he would show pretty well in the cage-scene he'd had to smoke a few cigarettes there, because Arabs smoke all the time, and he hadn't been in the later scene where the girl and the young fellow were in the deserted tomb all night and he didn't lay a finger on her because he was a perfect gentleman. He didn't know what he would do next.
I'd say that we should get close-ups of whatever is left, and do it right away, before it gets scattered all over space; but of course I can't give you orders." "You can, though," the captain made surprising answer. "My orders are that you are in command of this vessel."
They worked late in his home that night; trifling scenes were taken and retaken. The departing miner had to dress in his splendid but ill-fitting new garments and to bid an affectionate farewell to his partner, then had to dress in his old clothes again for some bit that had been forgotten, only to don the new suit for close-ups.
Upon her as yet had come no blight of Broadway, though she shrank perceptibly when the partially bald one laid his hand on her slender wrist as she resumed her seat. Food and wine were brought. Vera Vanderpool drank, with a pretty flourish of her glass. Now the two cameras were moved forward for close-ups. The older man was caught leering at Vera.
Yet a startling suspicion was forming amid his mental flurries, a suspicion that bloomed to certainty when he saw himself the ever-patient victim of the genuine hidalgo spurs. Baird had said he wanted the close-ups merely for use in determining how the spurs could be mastered, yet here they were.
Some close-ups were taken of the European tourists while they bargained with a native merchant for hammered brassware and rare shawls. The bad sheik was caught near the group bending an evil glare upon the beauteous English girl, and once the camera turned while she faced him with a little shiver of apprehension.
If met by chance, she must be snubbed-up-staged, as she would put it. Under his blankets now, after many appealing close-ups of the sandwich which Jimmie had held out to him, he felt almost sorry that he had not taken the girl's food. All his being, save that part consecrated to his art, had cried out for it. Art, had triumphed, and now he was near to regretting that it had not been beaten down.
