On The Screen
MURRETTE

The case of an actress sacrificing
herself for her art is no better exem-
plified than in the performance of
Fannie Ward, the clever Lasky-Para-
mount star who will be seen at the
Murrette today in the production "The
Crystal Gazer." During the filming
OF the terrific fight scene in this pho
todrama, Miss Wards shoulder was
accidentally dislocated, but with the
exception of 4 sharp scream of pain
which is plainly shown on the screen,
Miss Ward gave no indication of the
injury until the scene was completed
when she collapsed in the arms of her
maid. All work on the picture was
suspended for three weeks until Miss
Ward had fully recovered.
