 Mackley and Pegg were cast for roles in The Angel of the Gulch," and their work required them to en- gage in a desperate fight on the edge of a canyon down which they were to fall. They had figured on dropping about six feet, but in the rehearsa they miscalculated the steepness of the declivity, and, clasped in each others arms they rolled and tumhled to the bottom of the canyon They were badly bruised but after strengthening themselves out they found that no bones were broken
 The unexpected fall made such a strong impression on the camera man, who had watched it, that he was directed to get his machine in readiness to photogprah the tre mendous tumble, and Mackley and Pegg went through with it again while the photographer turned the crank and perpetuated the entire fall from the top of the cliff to it's ter imitation, 120 feet below.

 The Dull Season
 This is the dull season in New York. only twenty eight first-class theaters are offering attractions that will soon be cut by another half dozen.
