LIVES ON CHANCES
This Picture Actress Makes a
Specially of Hazardous Feats.

There are many ways OF earning a
living which are not particularly allur-
ing. but to spend ones days taking de-
lberate chances is not the sort Of thing
that would appeal to most attractive
young women. But Jean De Kay, a mo-
ton picture actress. consider il rather
good fun She is an expert in her line,
and can fall In front of moving cars
and roll across the platforms of IL
stations after apparently having been
struck by a train. She does her work
with such realism that it usually results
i'm an ambulance call unless the nearest
policeman has been warned in advance.
Diving from cliffs or bridges or leap
ing from high windows or moving trains,
anything, in fact, that is hazardous, is
right In Miss De Kays line. The ordi-
nary picture actress will do many things,
but they usually draw the line some
where, and that is where Miss De Kay
steps in TO double" for them, as it
is called in film parlance. She has i'm
personated almost every actress in the
studios about New York in this way,
but has just become permanent mem
Der of the Reliance company.
On Thursday she attempted an exploit
which was carried out successfully, but
which unfortunately resulted in a broken
rib. The story of Our Mutual Girl" re-
quired that the heroine be Knocked
down by an automobile. Norma Phillips,
who plays the part. did not relish the
idea, especially as she is not well at
present So it was up to Miss De Kay.
The accident" took place at 9Th av. and
6lst st.
A chalk mark was made on the pave
ment, and the intrepid actress walked
diagonally across the street townrd
it, the machine approaching from the
rear She did not look around. as that
would spoil the effect. The driver of the
machine tried to strike her a glancing
blow with the forward mudguard Every
thing turned out as planned, except that
the force of the blow was greater than
Miss De Kay expected. As result she
was thrown across the curb, and sus-
tanned the painful injury mentioned
above. She says that she has no inten-
ton of giving up her career. and that
as soon as she is able to be about she
will once more indulge in putting thrills
into Mutual pictures

The comedy number is an entertaining

Messing a melodrama, decides to so on

A thousand and one jokes have been
founded on the truism that every one
either writes or seriously considers writ
ing a play at some time. Since the de-
mand for motion picture plays has become
so great many who have never dared to
attempt writing for the stage are bending
their energies toward scenario production.
Thousands of such persons are the vic
Tins of the numerous fake schools OF
scenario writing which have sprung Up
and have fourished in spite Of the postal
laws The letter below was written by

MRS. CARMAN Is
UNDER SUSPICION
Case VIII Come up Before the Grand
Jury Some Time To-
morrow.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.1
NEW YORK, July 13.-Despite as
sertions OF Dr.. Edwin Carman that
he believes the shot fred through his
office window, which killed Mrs.
Louise Bailey. was intended for him,
District Attorney Smith will go be
fore the grand Jury at Mineola tomor-
row with but one theory In mind
that Mrs. Bailey was intended az the
victim.
The district attorney also believes
that only some person in the Carman
house could have known that Mrs.
Bailey was in the physician's office.
According to the best information.
Mrs. Bailey entered DR.. Carman's
waiting room about 7:15. He did not
enter his office until twenty minutes
later. The shades at the office win
dow were down and no one outside
the house had any way OF knowing
that Mrs. Bailey had entered the room.
Working along these lines the dis
trict attorney believes he will present
a strong case against Mrs. Florence
Carman, beautiful wife Of the physic-
ian. A CnaTL has ueeu uldwh oio"ih5
the position Of DR.. Carman and Mrs.
Bailey when the shot WAS fred, as de-
scribed by Carman. Mrs. Bailey was
just leaving the office.
II Carman's story is true. then Mrs.
Bailey's back was exposed to the as
sassin Mr.. Carman stood on the far
side of her, his left hand on the
door knob and his right hand on her
shoulder, he said. Only his right
elbow would then have been exposed
to shot from the window. Mrs.
Bailey turned when the window glass
was broken and received the bullet on
the right shoulder blade.
Celia Coleman, the negro maid in
the Carman home, will appear before
the grand jury tomorrow.
