OH: THIRTY BUMPINGS
FOR BESSIES BONES
In other Words, Miss Barriscale Had
TO Learn to "DO a Flop" and She
PerseVeEfngly Did.

The monotony of rehearsing a deli
cate piece of business for the film
never was emhasized to Bessie Bar
riscale more forcefully than during
the production of THE Payment" the
riangle play by c. Gardner Sullivan,
in which she is presented as star by
Thomas H. Ince. Miss Barriscale
was confronted with the task of fall
ing in a faint, and it is said she de-
voted an entire afternoon to rehears-
al of it.
The swoon follows the climax of
the drama, in which Miss Barriscale,
as Phyllis Page, is compelled to re-
ject the man she loves on account Of
her unworthy past, and therefore II
could not be eliminated from the ac-
ton. Realizing this, but realizing. too
that she had never made a practice
of fainting for the camera, Miss Bar
riscale entertained some doubts as to
her ability gracefully and realistical-
" to perform the stunt" So she
simply resolved to rehearSe it as much
as time would permit, and her per-
severance was rewarded, after thirty
odd "trys," when she gained the ap-
proval of Director Raymond B. West.
