Indiana Historical Pictures Approved by Indiana Historical Commission.

Indianapolis, May 9 —The trials and troubles of the “location” tnea in the employ of the Selig Polyscope company, which is staging and photographing the scenes of the Indiana centennial motion picture for the Interstate Historical Pictures corporation, are many and varied according to H. c. Hoagland, general manager of the Selig company. Mr, Hoagland stopped off in Indianapolis for a few minutes on his way to Chicago from Lafayette where he has been superintending the work of staging the battle of Tippecanoe and the burning of Prophetstown for the Indiana picture. “All of the beautiful ‘locations’ Our experts found are not susceptible to motion picture photography because of modern improvements,” said Ms. Hoagland. “For all the scenes in the Indiana picture we have selected sites near the historical scene where the danger of anarch roniems is eliminated. In many eases, however, it will not he possible to produce the scenes ‘right on the spot’ because of the changes which time has wrought. Rut we have fotind suitable locations nearby and tbus kept the atmosphere of Indiana soil.”
