There are few pictures nova
days where actors and actresses
do not perform the perilous
stunts shown on the screen.
There was a time. however, when
] first entered the motion pic
ture world, when dangerous COM
edy work was done by dummies.
But this day has passed. The
public demands the real thing
now, and consequently the hui
morous and the tragic are al
ways hand in hand in every COM
edy film.
Were it not for the precautions
directors take, it is safe to say
that some player would be seri-
ously hurt in one out of every
three comedies made. Mack Sen
nett is probably the most eau
tious director in the business.
He insists that every means be
taken to protect his people, with
the result that his players go
into his thrill films absolutely
unafraid-which is great as
set toward success.
You must be serious-minded
and fearless to become a comedy
