ESSANAY'S ITHACA STUDIO
It will be news to most that Essanay has
invaded the East and has a field studio at
Ithaca, N.Y.
Theodore W. Wharton is in charge with
Francis X. Bushman as leading man, and
they came down to the exposition for
Chicago night.
"I've had my eye on Ithaca for a long time,"
explained Mr. Wharton, "and this summer
we decided to go there."
We have everything but the ocean and
that is not far away.There is the lake,
some seventeen waterfalls, all the way
from fifteen to one hundred and fifty feet
in height, woods, mountains, meadows
and beautiful grounds as well as the
handsome establishment of Cornell University.
We expect to do some fine educational work
in conjunction with the University, and we are
having splendid success.
"Bushman doesn't like the waterfalls because
we threw him over one of the lower ones the
other day. He is all black and blue, but it made
a fine scene. You want to watch for some of
that stuff. It is going to be worth while."
Both Mr. Wharton and Mr. bushman are as
brown as berries from their outdoor work.
