Jane Remarks Sole Superstition
Caused by Her Horse.
Stage superstitions are so very preva-
lent that it is something of a relief TO
meet an actor or an actress who is free
from them. Jane Remark. the new
star in Under Two Flags" is one of
these-almost. Miss Remark confesses
TO but enc superstition. and that is one
that has arisen since she has been in
her new role. 1t is simply that unless
her white horse Baby drinks just be-
fore the Chellala Gorge run. something
unpleasant, and maybe dangerous, is
going to happen
Cigarette and her horse are supposed
to arrive upon the scene. nearly spent
with WEAKNESS. There is a trough OF
water at one side of the stage, and
Baby always carries out the illusion of
being very tired horse by drinking
long and deep of it. She has only failed
to drink three times. and on each OF
these occasions something has hap
pened that nearly caused the lives of
horse and rider.
On one occasion when Baby refused
to drink, the run was made to the first
turn. and just as Cigarette and her
dashing steed faced it, up popped the
white swathed head of an extra
Bedouin- Baby SHE'D. and il was only
by serambling wildly for the runway
that she saved herself and Miss Ken
