Warren Kerrigan, who plays the leading role of the “Man From asserts the fight scenes clure are the most realistic in which articipated in his long sereert cart Mr. Kerrigan praised David Smith, the director, for the realism he injected into the battle between the hordes of natives and hite: ‘The whole thing. was. s0 real," Mr. Kerrigan told after the filmin of the scene, “that I had to battle with all my strength to keep from being overwhelmed by the brown- ‘HOLD YOUR BREATH’ AT THE AMERICA LIVES UP TO TITLE “Hold Your Breath,” the title of the big Al Christie feature which starts at the America theater today, Was suggested by Jimmie Adams, ‘well known Christie player, who has. a prominent part in the production. Al Christie offered as a prize for the best title a very attractive bulld- ing lot in the Christie Tract in the ‘Westwood section of Los Angeles. Besides the regular Christie em- ployes, all transient actors working . in current productiors were eligible to try for the prize. Shortly after the announcement was posted on the bulletin board, the scenario de- partment was flooded with titles good, bad and indifferent—but most- ly terrible. So Al Christie posted the following notice: 1. This fs not a sex picture. 2, I want a brief and snappy title, so remember to measure your efforts in words, not yards, 3. There is not a boudoir nor bathing-girl scene in the entire story: 4. Titles ike “Robin Hood” and “The Miracle Man” were huge suc- cesses but I can’t see my way clear lo — Off in a cloud of dust!

As a result the entire pro- duction staff had to jump in and join us in the defense, The failure to understand the signal to stop was due to the fact that real natives were employed in the scene and few of these could understand Eng- lish, The afternoon was one of theloffered movie patrons in most exciting I have working in a picture.’ In addition to Mr. Kerrigan other members of the al ‘er had whilefthe North Begins,” to be shown at the Iris theater, today only. / man, Budd Fine, Eddie Baker and “The battle raged so furiously | Do: s Carter.

The next clown who suggests “Yes, we have no bananas,” will be thrown bodily out of the studio. This served to squelch the would- be gag men. Although suggestions continued to pour in, it was not until the picture was almost com- pleted that Jimmie Adams hit upon the winner. “Hold. Your Breath” suggested itself during the filming of a thrill- ing écene in which Dorothy Devore, who plays the leading role, was executing a daring “stunt”. Miss Devore was lowered from the fifth floor of an office building to the pavement below by means of a fire hose. When she alighted safely, after a rapid slide, Director Scott Sidney exclaimed, “My goodness child, I certainly held my breath during that scene.” “There's the title for the picture— ‘Hold Your Breath’,” shouted Jim- mie. “They'll all hold their breath when they see that on the screen.” Al Christie was as enthusiastic as HAROLD LLOYD In His Latest 8-Reel Comedy “GIRL SHY” RIALTO—SOON line in France and brought to Cali- fornia, where his intelligence plus the excellent training afforded him made him one of the elite -of dog- dom. He has won many champion- ships In running and jumping; his owner says there is nothing any dog can do that Rintintin cannot do. The action of “Where the North Begins” is set in the far north, miles from civilization, in a Hudson Bay trading post, where Shad Gallo- way rules with an iron hand as fac- tor, A gang of outlaws is operating in the region and Gabriel Dupre, a young trapper, sets out with a load of furs, not knowing it is a trap set by Galloway to get him out of the way and thus having Felice Mc- Tayvish, a young woman at the post, at his. mercy. The story begins with this situa- tion; Gabriel is wounded and be- friended by a wolf-dog, who starts to attack him, and from that point the dog takes an active part /in the stirring development, The cast consists of Claire Adams, Walter McGrail, Pat - Hartigan, Myrtle Owen, Charles Stevens and Fred Huntley. ‘Chester Franklin is the director. -_— , The beautiful home in, Indian- apolis owned and occupied by the lato Charles W.
