Sitting on a camera boom, De .Mills watches the teeming action before him. i He rehearses it several times, of course. And he keeps shouting , criticism over the loud speaker system. "What’s the matter V he yells. -You have given that brave a chiefs war stick. You might as ! well put a general's epaulets on a i private!” Again, he picks on a lone Indian on a rock 100 feet away from the camera. “You, up there on the rock, give me more feeling," he exhorts. "Remember that’s a prominent spot you're in." But the topper comes when, In I the midst of the war dance, he yells: “Stop! One of you assistants get In there and catch that butterfly.
