My Experiences While Fishing Ia rtny,s Ootrfc, Irii,,, r1,,,,


 I am a movie fan and have watched with open-eyed astonishment some of the daring feats performed by the frail heroines of the pictures, longing to do some of the stunts myself, but hardly hoping to so literally live the part as have since done.
 From time to time I have written short stories. One of them I rewrote in sce- mario form and showed it to some of my friends. They thought it was so good that they asked for the privilege of submitting it to one of the producing managers. The result was that the film corporation to whom my scenario was submitted accepted the story and gave me chance to really be in pictures.
 In the play I am supposed to be res- cued from an ocean liner. The director Hudson river. and I was told to jump into the water I demurred. The river looked so far away. It may have been orly 15 feet--it looked. 100. The director insisted. Then I jumped took, they tell me, beautiful dive; but can you imagine my feelings upon being told that the camera man had missed it? He hs d waited so long for me to make up my mind to make the plunge that, when l tinall. went over the side, his good right arm was suffering from camera cIamp. The dive had to be repeated.
