Wheels of a By Faw Stevenson Wi actress HILE tthe actor are planning to give an movie and audience the “thrills” many }imes they find that in reality THEY re the ones who receive the greatest Shrin. This is not the story of any dare- pened. Before the scene was com- pleted the boat began to sink and soon was completely filled with water. Besides getting terribly drenched, Miss Murray ruined a very expensive gown and was constantly in fear of going down. “Then,” continued Mr. Macfar- land, "George Carew gave John,Bar- rymore the thrill of his life when they were playing ‘Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde!’ Carew was supposed to hit Long Tresses of Estelle Taylor Caught in | Misses and Shoots Tom Mix in the Arm. | Sewing Machine; Cow boy | were working last week on some scenes ‘which required the screen ef- fect of a ship burning at sea, while frantic women and children fought with maddened men to gain the life- boats. The davits on one of the boats gave way and the how of the boat wag held suspended at a dangerous ngle for a few minutes before some “sailors” could cut it loose. Fire actually did break out (aside from the smgke pots and torches), and for devil stunts which the movie people frequently ‘have to perform. All that has been written up scores of times, but it is the story of the movie actress or actor who has a compava- tively easy part to play and expects mo excitement when—splish!—some- thing goes all wrang and they receive the surprise of a lifetime. This ; at was clearly brought out im the experience.of Miss Emily Mar- eau, the motion picture actress who was left suspended in the air for an hour when her stage director, Smyth Addison of the Metro Film Corpor: tio, went tosluncheon and quite for- got her. Miss Marceaw was to give the audi- ence a thrill ‘by supposedly being blown through the roof of a ‘phone booth,’ tut in reality she had onl) to gwing from an invisible wire which wag no difficuk feat at all. But being left in the air for a full hour was not a partwf the programme, s) after all, Miss Marceau was the ong who had the real thrill which lastod a goodly time. Mr. James Macfarland of the Famous Players-Lasky #ilm Corpo- ration says that little incidents liku this happen to many of the film stars land they are constantly on the ‘ut- Nook for unexpected thrills, “When Mae Murray was acting in our play, ‘The Right to Love,’ she re- ceived just such a shock,” said Mr Macfarland. “She was calmly sittin in a@ rowboat when sire noticed t boat had sprung a leak. She could not move her arms, ary for help or change her position without spolling 4 ie film, so she deckted to remain tectly quiet no matter what hap- ‘Tom Mix is to have sovrpenceers @ few days previ of Mix’s arm and J) Mae Murray, in x by Murray appears Barrymore with a ciub, but he came @ little nearer than necessary and gave him such a black eye and swollen face that poor Barrymore was not around for a full week.” Many times the unexpected thrills result disastrously for the player, as in the case of Miss Elizabeth Mc- Kentry, who died last week from sure after a shipwreck in Long Sound while ~ company was sed in filming a sea picture MeKentry was one of fifteen players in a boat which qvas over turned by a squawl, She could not swim, reso’ nd after auch diffeulty was ed by Miss Marjorie Clemmons, diyer and swhmmer Sea pict lwifys resent great hazards.

When Miss Estelle Taylor was acting in ‘While New York Sleeps’ she hud a most unexpected shock,” declared Mr Cook. “During t East Side scene she was to have fight with one of the sweatshop girls, and while that was a scene that troubled néither of them, and a hair- pulling seene was to be very mild for both, the unexpected pened to Miss Taylor. The sweatshop was fitted up with electric sewing ma- chines and one of these caught Miss Tay ong tresses and gave her the thrill of her life. Luckily the ma chine was turned off before any great danger, but surely this had no part in the film and Miss Taylor was not pre pared. “Tom Mix always expects thrills, bat when he ly he is just receives one unexpected- a8 shocked as the rest of them,” laughed Mr. Cook. “When he was acting in ‘Prairie Flames’ a young cowboy was supposed to shoot the rosettes from his leather sleeve. But the cowboy accidentally shot right through Tom's arm, giving him a decided thrill. A few days later Tom posed with the same cowboy and allowed him to shoot his tie of This tine nothing happened, though no doubt Tom was on the alert.” So when you are sitting quietly in the dark trying to get @ thrill out of the movies don't forget that perhaps the actors have just received the thrilliest thrill" of of Da young lives.
