Nazimova Risks Life in Scene.

Despite the fact that Director George D. Baker protested that she was risking her life, Nazimova, the Russian actress would not hear of dummy being substituted for her in the making of dangerous scene in her new Metro production, which as yet is unnamed Though the play is replete with many thrilling situations none are more exciting and hazardous than this great sui eide scene, in which the heroine of the story, a young gypsy girl, the part played by Nazimova, at tempts to take her life. It was ta- ken at the famous Ponce de Leon Hotel in Saint Augustine, Fla
 From a balcony of the second story of this hotel she made her spectacular fall while all who saw her held their breath in suspense. NaZimova, however, who always en- ters with great spirit into her work took the scene in the calmest man. ner, and did not in the least ap- pear to mind the fall, which she made without mshap.

England went wild over John l.. Sullivan's pugilistic skill He show ed them something in the way of ifs tic performances that never before had been witnessed in the long his tory of the game in that country Sullivan was the real creator of the knockout punch. Before his day fighters depended upon wrestling and roughting tactics to win for them The spectacle of Sullivan sending men to dreamland with one crash of his mighty fist against the jaw made him an awe-inspiring fight er
 British newspapers lauded John L. day after day. His every appear ance on the street gathered huge crowds that trailed him. He appeared day after day before packed houses He became an idol in England as he was in the United States. And then it was that Charlie Mitchell and his followers rose up and insisted that John L. wasn't "such-a-much" that Charlie could whip the mighty Sullivan in a distance fight.
 So Mitchell. with big financial backing, hurled a challenge at John L. for a fight to finish under Lon don Prize ring rules flor any size purse" John l.. at first thought the def was merely for publicity pur poses. But he soon changed his mind. Mitchell was serious. And John l.. eagerly accepted. figuring it would be cinch victory for him
 This fight will be picnic for me-" declared John l..
 Sullivans idea was shared by many Mitchell. smaller and much lighter man than Sullivan, had been beaten almost into sensibility in a three round bout in New York some years before. And that contest was with gloves, under Marquis of Queens bury rules. Michells challenge call. ed for a bare knuckle fight under London Prize Ring rules-just the style of fighting that suited the champion.

Pathe Presents Kipling's Light That Failed"

To Pathe goes the honor of be- ing the first to release a motion pie ture adapted from a book of Rud- yard Kipling. His immortal master piece, ''The Light That Failed" has been produced under the direction of Edward Jose with Robert Ede- son as the star. 'The Light That Failed is as famous as its author. phe Pathe company is justly proud that Kipling gave it permission to film his masterpiece. Not only did he do that, but he actually wrote the subtitles for the production. This shows the interest he took in it and is stamp of approval upon the photoplay. In the cast support ing Robert Edeson, appear such well known players as Claude Elem ing, Lillian Tucker and Jose Col lins. "The Light That Failed' will be shown at the Palace tomorrow night.

But those who felt that way reck- oned without taking Sullivan's con dition or Mitchells improvement in to consideration.
 John L., at that time, weighed around 220. His normal fighting weight in those days was at least 20 pounds less He was somewhat flabby and his wind was bad. For several years he had done no stren- uous training He had been living a free and easy life. and alcohol was making it's indelible impress up- on his once Herculean frame. So Sullivan's closest friends on the oth- CT side, who had been watching Mitchells career. insisted that the champion go ipto training.
 "You'll have to be good to whip Charlie now" they told him.
 John L., confident of his ability to beat any living man, retorted:
 Whats the use of wasting time doing that? I whipped that little fellow in three rounds in New York and I guess it won't take me that long this time
 And so, while Mitchell trained hard and conscientiously for the most memorable fight of his great career, John l.. continued to lead a gay life. He drank whenever the mood came over him-and that was often. He lived irregular hours and absolute ly ignored the friends who advised vigorous training.
 A few days before the fight was to be staged word reached John l.. that there isn't chance for you to win"
 And why not. ?" growled John L..
 Some of the toughest gangsters in London have bet on Mitchell. Sullivan was told They'll all be at the ringside ready to stick you up or shoot you if it looks as if you've surely got Mitchell down and out"
 But this news didn't frighten the American.

Ethel Barrymore Shows Skill as Horsewoman in "The Call of Her People,"

as Horsewoman in "The
 Call of Her People"
 In "The Call of Her People, Me- tro's great seven-act special release, picturized from Edward Sheldon's famous play, Egypt" Ethel Barry more has an opportunity to display most superb skill as horsewoman, During the making of the picture the star was called on to ride at breakneck speed both along rough country roads and through crowded city streets filled with vehicles and pedestrians. Six hundred peorle took part in the production. and Miss Barrymore rode through this crowd on a spirited horse.
 In "The Call of Her People" Miss Barrymore has the part of Egypt, the gypsy girl, who is sent to live among civilized people. Her gypsy sweetheart comes to claim her. He fights with and ills a vilklager, and is tracked by bloodhounds. Egypt rides pots-haste to save him, and by a stratagem gets tim out of their hands. He leaps up behind her, and the two ride away.
 'The Call of Her People" will be shown for the first time at the Col iseum tonight.

Good direction and capable pho tography has aided the story to a marked degree. The capable man. ner in which the story has been directed affords an even continuity and adds greatly to the clearness in unfolding the story. This point as SureS a strong suspense.
