been in refuge here since the outbreak
of the war. slipped out of the harbor
early today, presumably for New Lon
don. Conn. for which port she obtained
clearance papers last night.
Officials of the line asserted the
change was made to reduce docking
charges and denied reports that there
was any connection between the WILLIE
had's movements and the expected ar
rival of the German mechant submarine
Bremen.
The Willehad went out under the nag
| of the German merchant marine, the
| first time it had been carried out of
Boston harbor since the war began. She
was without consort. Her crew, a full
com plement, In command OF Capt
Jachens. had been augmented by addi-
tions from the several other ships of
| the line here. The willehad departed
in the early hours as cheers rang out
from the decks Of other refugee vessels
Capt. J. ]. Hartling. the pilot. who
| took the steamer out of the harbor, said
she was bound for New London and
would make the passage through the
Cape Cod canal. 1t was estimated the
steamer would arrive at New London
about o'clock this afternoon.

the actor in several scenes. When the
hero makes hairbreadth escape in
an aeroplane, for instance. he is usually
changed at the last moment for a pro-
fessional aeronaut. inasmuch as the
difference cannot be detected when fly
ing far above the camera. Acrobats
are substituted when the script calls
for an extremely dangerous leap, and
professional jockeys generally take the
place of the principals at the last mo-
ment when there are spectacular riding
stunts to be done.
One professional jockey was en-
ployed by a moving picture company
some months ago to substitute for the
leading woman in leaping over a
precipice on a horse The horse was
a very remarkable animal of vaude-
Vile fame, being able to do many
marvellous things, such as counting up
to ten, opening and shutting door,
removing his masters coat and polish
ing his shoes, as we'll as diving from
digging heights, which he had learned
at Coney Island. His career in moving
pictures had been as brilliant as it was
in vaudeville, and many scenarios were
written around him.

yards with which they can construct
anything from a barnyard to q desert
island, but in most instances natural
scenery Is the background. The real
thing must be filmed. One leading man
last year got little too much of the
real thing in a picture staged at NJ
agara. The scenario called for one
scene in which the villain picks UP the
hero and throws him bodily over q
wall. presumably into the rapids. but
actually on a narrow incline between
the rapids and the wall. The villain.
as it happened. was chosen from the
extra men on account Of his gigantic
site, and he was so anxious to demon
strate the wisdom of the choice that
he forgot and flung tho hero far over
rapids. Happily, the hero was able to
catch hold of rock and cling to 1t
until aid reached him, during which
time the camera man recorded some
very interesting realism.
Another actor also suffered FROM too
much Of the real thing not long ago
when he assumed the character. of a
sneak thief. Boldly dashing up to q
real jewelry store. he broke the win
dow and departed hurriedly with a
handful of valuable rings. The street
had been chosen because Of its ap-
parent isolation. and the director held
in check q group OF extra people as
spectators. As it happened. however.
the extra people were not needed. AS
soon as the cry of stop thief was
circulated among them for the benefit
populace sprang up in all directions
and purSued the sneak thief down the
street. When he could run no fur
ther. the actor stopped and confronted
an angry crowd of over a hundred per-
sons. AS he remarked later, it was an
extremely unpleasant situation until
the director arrived. breathless. and
managed to appease them with num-
ber Of credentials and a satisfactory
explanation.
Much has been written concerning
the bitter experiences of pedestrians
which have taught them to suspect the
presence of the moving picture camera
in all street crime, but. according to
the irate accounts of the moving pic
ture directors, they still have lots to
learn. One man relates, for example
that two young actresses in the en-
ploy of California company were
taken for suffragettes while playing q
street scene in mems clothes and were
pursued by a number Of people, who
believed they intended to break win
dows.

to be a remarkable and dangerous
feat, but as Q matter of fact It was
simple and safe. A heavy metal belt
was placed around her waist beneath
tached. which made it impossible for
her to fall. When the time came to
take this scene. the director thought
that the belt was not quite strong
enough, and the work was delayed un-
til the property man could have 1t
strengthened.
