frail craft sinking beneath her a.
the water got up to her knees and
the cameras kept on clicking she
courageously emulated the example
of the boy who stood on the burning
deck until Maurice Tourneur, the di-
rector, arrived in a motor boat and
lifted her to safety. With her reeth
chattering from the morning bath

the sensation, she took her director to
corner of the cabin and whispered:

pictures like this, I'm going to learn
