The picturesque background if the,
Mojave wlesert, a supposedly desert-,
ed anil haunted ranch house ami a
clever plot full of comedy and heart
gripping drama, were merged to
gether to give “Spook Ranch,’’ the

| "JUDGMENT OF THE
STORM” IS COMING
The custom of using an airplane
as a film supply can proved its use-!
fulness once for all during the film
ing of “Judgment of Storm,” the]
first Palmer Photoplay Corporation
production, while that company was
“on location” at Truckee, California.
Ordinarily the use of an aeroplane;
for delivering “raw film” to com
panies working far from producing
headquarters is for the sake of speed,
hut an aeroplane piloted by Lee Au
derson brought the company film by
air when all other routes were
closed.
Another service by an aeroplane
for tho film troupe was the drop
ping of a “wind-machine” part to re
place the broken one, from the San;
Francisco-lieno mail plane.
Spectacular and wonderfully real ]
Istic blizzard effects were obtained]
for “Judgment of the Storm," which.
