Using a small parachute, Miss Bennett risked her life and limb for the movies. Sh Iwinnrt from the middle or the big span, which is 157 feet above the Enst river. She de scended all right and was fished out of the water by Rodman Law, a com panlon daredevil, who leaped separately, and by others who were waiting on a tug.- She is the first feminine Steve Brodie, though BrtJdle, who gained his fame by leaping off the old Brooklyn bridge, never used a parachute.
