MOVIESTUNT' MEN SEEK PROTECTION Demand for Legal License System Is Blow to Ama- teur “Doubles.” By the Associated Press. HOLLYWOOD, Calif., December 25— | Apparently the Hollywood stunt man has been affected by lack of work and | he’s going to do something about it. A move to have recognized motion picture stunt men licensed, in order “to protect the uninitiated and inex- perienced from injury and possible death,” is under way in Hollywood, Such a plan, if put into effect, would | sutomatically ban the embryonic movie | double who will try anything once for | k\:hatr\” price the studios want to pay A number of unskilled stunt men have been seriously injured in the last two | weeks attempting to perform hazardous | movie thrills for which they were un- qualified. There's a trick to driving a speeding car into & concrete wall and escaping with only & few bruises. But one man, | Who needed work badly, tried to do this $100 job for $ Today he is in & hospital with a broken nose, several | broken ribs and innumerable h"ukes and scratches, An experienced stunt man might | | have crashed the same car and be well | enough afterward to eat Christmas | dinner at home with his famly. Another green double was injured so badly in a too-real fist fight that | he is confined to a hospital. There's | a trick, too, in fighting a furious fistic battle with another double without either being harmed Harvey Parry, who, although less than 30 vears old, is one of the pioneers in | the bone-breaking business of doubling for the stars, said today he and the four other recognized stunt men will ask the Hollywood Chamber of Com- merce to recommend the licensing idea to some official State or city commis- sion Parry denied that the plan was an attempt to unionize experienced dou- bles or to establish a wage scale The four stunt men, besides Parry, who. as he put it, “can do anything,” are Jack Holbrook. Chick Collins, John. uy Sinclair and Willlam Jones. 19TH CENTURY NOVELS AGAIN COME INTO FAVOR Find Small | Boom Under Way in Scott's | London Booksellers Waverly Tales. By the Associated Press. LONDON, December 25.—The nine- | teenth century novel is again coming | into favor, according to statistics of the book trade. A small boom is reported in the sale | of Scott’s Waverly novels, probably prompted by the approaching celebra- tion of the Walter Scott centenary Present indications are, the booksell- ers say, that Meredith, George Eliot, and even Stevenson are still in eclipse. Trackeray has always enjoyed a steady circulation in a rather select circle. | Dickens, on the other hand, appears to lose ground in one place only m} burst into renewed popularity in an- | other. The “Christmas Carol” is read | this season every year by tens of thou- | sands. London booksellers agree that | no living author has more constantly kept his public for 40 years than Kip- ' ling. the awaited day has arrived! | Raymond sang a duet. | Washington |31, would be “Family day." |and daughters and nieces and nephews Man Values Right To Beat Wife $10 Higher Than Judge By the Associated Press.
