That seems q high value to put
on anyone's time. and yet admirers
of Dorothy Dalton, Thomas H. Ince
star, appearing in Paramount Art
craft pictures will not think that
sum any too high to place upon
their favorite's life.
You see Dorothy's simply "up in
the air" over flying. =. She has al
ready exhausted all the other out
door sport thrills to be found in
swimming, riding and tennis. and
she simply would fly, dangerous
though aviation still may be.
First she made a trial flight to
Albany. and this proved so interest
ing she sighed for a sky-sail more
thrilling and more dangerous.
She found II in a trip over New
York city with Victor Vernon, chief
of flight operations for the Curtiss
Aeroplane Company. as pilot.
Miss Dalton regarded ii az a great
adventure. splendid sport - see the
smile that she wore with her fetch
ing aviation costume-and never had
moments fear. but the Famous
Players-Lasky Corporation, mindful
OF the elemen of chance that always
turks in aviation, insured their dar-
ing young star for 100000. which
on forty-minute trip. meant $500
a minute. No American insurance
company would assume the novel
risk. which was finally placed with
Lloyd's of London.
