In 19U a director of Los Angeles needed a man to "double" in a picture. The heroine, you see, waa to fall in the sea and. being in imminent danger of 'drowning, to be saved by a man who drops from an aeroplane into tha water and swims ashore with her. The hero of the picture refused to risk his pre cious hide who could blame him, to be sure? and so the director sent out a call for John Austin. "Sure! How much?" were the worda with which Mr. Austin greeted the proposition.

"Don't think, however, that It's al ways a motion picture star who takes the risks. To be strictly frank. It Isn't, usually. When a scene is to be taken that involves great actual danger to life and limb, a professional usually is hired at enormous price to do the "dirty work." In many cases, however, it is. Ferhaps one of the most daring women in pictures is Kathryn 'Williams "A Professional Is : of the Belie: Company. While making lMrty W a scene In "Darkest Africa," Miss Will lams was attacked unexpectedly by a ferocious black-maned lion. Because the picture called for it. she had turned her back for a moment to the menac ing follow.

Rag-a-rauff ins or society belies knowing her. The number of persons who are will ing to do almost anything to break into motion pictures is past counting. Hers is one who wants to "drop in" the busi ness, and in the further parlance of the street, stands ready to "fall for motion pictures." Comes one Theodore Finkelstein, of 659 Hinsdale street, Brooklyn, N. T ' who writes Lewis Hooper, casting director at tho Rolfe Metro studio, as follows: "My dear Mr. Hooper I want to be the first man to jump off the Wool worth building in a parachute, and I want your advice if you will be kind enough to advise me. What I want to know Is bow to go about it. That is to notify different film companies, and who to see. Also what price to charge. You will greatly oblige me by sparing me some of your valuable time." Jackie Saunders Is of French-German parentage; but being American born she Is thoroughly neutral. She grew up in Philadelphia. Almost as a baby she made her first public ap pearance with a company of "dancing dolls." On emerging from a convent school she laid the foundation of her subsequent dramatic career in "stock" in the Quaker metropolis. are all the same to her. A Seattle girl named Minnie Brown has gone into the movies, after ap pearing in amateur theatricals and serving an apprenticeship at the Chil dren's Hospital in San Francisco aa a nurse, which has no particular news value only as regards what Minnie has done to her name. Until I read of it I never would hava believed any one could do anything with a name like Minnie Brown. But this resource ful owner of it has done a lot. The account says: "For film purposes she will be known as Minye Browen, which is close enough to her real name not to deceive her frinds." ' - . Ethel Grey Terry, once a Baker player, has replaced Marion Murray in "Sadie Love." This is the farce comedy in which Marjorie Rambeau is playing the title role in New York City. The ever-increasing use of "close ups" in motion pictures nas made the art of "making-up" an extremely dif ficult one. A make-up that gives the proper effect at a distance is utterly ineffective in a close-up, for whatever realism the picture is supposed to portray Is lost when the make-up be- When pictures began to grow popular comes noticeable.
