FILM STAR
is SAVED
BY QUICK
THINKING

An alert brain and iightning-iike
actions saved Miss Josephine West
the pretty brunette. leading lady Of
the local movie" company this morn
ing from severe injury II not DEATH
Had she not been of a quick thinking
mind and OF an active. muscular de-
veiopment with a fearless disposition
she might now be lying in a hospital

pany. of which Miss West is the lead
ing lady. are taking a three-ree,
scenario based on prison life in and
about the penitentiary. 1t was in n
scene OF this film feature in which
Miss West was acting that the acci-
dent occurred.
A lively broncho was the cause OF
all the trouble. The bronx. in the
scene. must brush on his bride and
is thus free to run as he pleases with
Miss West upon his back
Through the first rehearsal the ant
NAL did as was expected of him. Dur
ing the second rehearsal. he brushed
the bride from his head. started on
a run and Miss West leaped to his
back. which was all part OF the pro-
gramme.
Hardly had Miss West gained the
saddle. though. than the bronx
started on n wild tear down the rock
strewn slope of the hogback and
smashed with all possible speed .un-
der the low roof of building.
The leading lady had not a moment
for thought before the animal made
his dash under the low-lying struc-
ture. A person with less presence OF
mind would have been forced against
the obstruction head up and a fractur-
ed skull would undoubtedly have been
the result
A yell from o'Bie Thayer. the pro-
ducer. and Miss West nattened her
self on the animals back She barely
scraped under. as IL was and her
breath was forced from her.
In this condition she ciung desper-
ately to the fleeing horse which. after
few bucks. had gained the road and
was running toward town with all
possible speed

claffer of a cavaicade-
The animal rushed into Reeves liv-
cry without siackening its gait. The
low door jams on the interior again
offered great peril to Miss West but
fortunately n stable boy was able to
stop the bronx and help the nervy
girl from the saddle.
The incident did not unnerve Miss
West a particle. In ten minutes after
the excitement had Quilted she was
again doing her portion OF the scene.
She thinks Il but an ordinary hap
pening OF a day with the movies"
