Dramatic Escape.

Mile. Gabrielle Robinne was once
called upon to make a dramatic es-
cape from q castle in which she had
been imprisoned, for film. The cas-
tie, surrounded by moat, was
searched for small window which
would suit the purpose. At last one
was found and the actress assumed
her position within for the rehearsal.
The boat of rescuers put of across
the moat the rope ladder was thrown
up and the hooked end duly caught
upon the sill. In due course, the her
oine appeared at the window, bent
upon her escape. The bars, which
had been improvised for the purpose,
were removed, and the prisoner thrust
her shoulders through the aperture.
But she became wedged halfway.
One of the party below scaled the
ladder and endeavored to assist her
from the strange predicament, while
on the inner side two other actresses
lent assistance. ! Me. Robinne was

At last, after considerable pricing,

precipitated into the moat, while the
actress tumbled unceremoniously into
the waiting boat, the trio below break

one of the seats somewhat violently.
