appreciative of the benefits to be derived
therefrom, !, Peter Norbeck, Governor of

Riding into the very jaws of an ALI
gator was one of the dangerous adven-
lures required of Theda Bara when
making her photodrama founded on
Rider Haggard's famous novel Jess"
The scene was filmed on Anastasia is
land, off St. Augustine, Fla. The alli-
gator used was taken from the alliga-
tor pool on the island Although the
saurian is said to be about 500 years
old, he is still vigorous and active and
was kept with difficulty on the road
down which Miss Bara was to ride
When the scene had been set Miss Bara
steeled herself for the ride, the perils
of which she well knew. When only a
few feet away she loosed the reins, the
horse lowered his head, saw the alliga-
tor, SHE'D and fell. Miss Bara flung
herself clear of the horse, but tripped
in the sand and fell only few feet
from the huge saurian. The noise of
the horses hoofs had stirred the alli-
gator and just as Miss Bara struggled
to her feet he began to move his bulky
form toward her, his mammoth jaws
agape.

expected that it will be ready for use
within short while. The new range
is situated Just west of the National

The older range has been discarded

considered dangerous to residents
near the range to conduct rifle prac-
tice on it. AS soon as conditions in
San Domingo are such as to permit
the marines stationed there to be re-
turned. several companies will prob
ably be sent to Pensacola for prac-
tice.
AS soon as the range is completed
the Rifle Club in Pensacola will re-
sumo its operations, and recent
