Norma Phillips, who, as ''Our Mutual
Girl" was thrown violently from a big
bay horse in Central Park last week
celebrated her recovery by resuming her
role in the picture and being presented
to Andrew Carnegie in front Of his New
York mansion, in Fifth avenue.
Mr.. Carnegie not only allowed himself
to be photographed in front Of his beau
tiful home, but did some picture acting
in his garden, which. according to Direc.
tor Jack Noble. who is making an en-
viable record .or himself In obtainins
film records of distinguished personages
should make some Of the popular screer
favorites look to their hard-earned
laurels.
What seemed to impress Mr.. Carnegie
most was the fact that the scenes were
taken in such a short space Of time. He
responded to Director Mobiles coaching
like a veteran actor, and seemed genu-
ineiy pleased to meet Miss Phillips, espe.
cially after he had learned of her recent
mishap.
