Mayor and Mrs. Rolph and a number of San Francisco society girls who chanced to be at the club were induced to take part in the cafe scene. -The Santa Barbara Morning Press - July 23, 1914 It has just been learned that while making scenes in Los Angeles last week... that an incident in an actual murder was photographed. The American Film Company was given access to everything the city owned, and it was arranged to photograph one of the desk sergeants receiving imporant matters over the telephone. As eveything was all set and the cameraman was instructed to grind, a call came and it was of such importance that the sergeant forgot all about the camera. He was receiving the first information of R. E. Lomax, a jeweler, shooting A. B. Shaw, a formeer employee. -The Santa Barbara Morning Press - July 25, 1914
