John G. Adolphi — Real Tales About Reel Folk (1914) 🇺🇸

Director Jack Adolphi [John G. Adolfi] at work is about the most dramatic sight about the Reliance and Majestic studios.

Recently he pulled off a thrilling scene at the Los Angeles police station in “The Runaway Freight”, an exciting romance of railroad life. Here he had to break in a couple of raw recruits to the movies, in the persons of two officers of the city force who were obliged to handle a Thespian crook well trained by Mr. Adolphi in the art of putting up a stiff fight.

The policeman said afterward that they never had met with a tougher proposition on bona fide duty.
