GO. a touring car as it hurtled 80 feet
from a bridge in the night time, was the
feat achieved by Director Ray c. Small
wood with the aid of six cameramen and
a powerful battery of arc lights. The
scene was for "The Best of Luck" the
Screen Classics, Inc, perturbation OF the
famous Drury Lane melodrama, under his
direction. "The Best of Luck" is to
be shown at the Latchis Theatre Thurs
dav.
The condemned Devils Gate bridge,
which crosses the Arroyo Seco near Pasa-
dena, Cal. was the site chosen for the
scene. Two powerful n-ray arc lights,
mounted upon high platforms, and %
spot lights were used to light up the
canyon.
1t was , o'clock in the morning when
Mr.. Smallwood gave the word for the
car to start on its mad dash. 1t came
running down the steep grade. piloted by
George Norris, Metro chauffeur. Just
before the bridge was reached, Norris
leaped to the ground. The car hit the
gap, made a graceful leap, turned over
once as it fell, and landed with a crash
on the rocks in the bottom of the canyon.
Harold Wenstrom, cameraman for
~The Best of Luck, " was stationed in the
canyon with his camera at an angle to
catch the car from the time it leaped
until the rocks were hit. John Arnold
and Al Wheeler had cameras set up on a
knoll in the canyon and caught the ma
chine in it's fall. Rudolph Bergquist
shot" the machine as it struck the rocks
while Robert Phelan and Mickey" Whe-
Ian photographed the car on its dash
down the grade and on to the bridge.
An automobile weighing 5000 pounds
was employed for the scene. Before being
wrecked it was used in many ''shots" and
was in good running order. A. S. lie

England stole a march on the
States by recognizing the Soviet

negotiations with that country, while
the Wilson administration, in the last
stages of it's existence, is functioning
in a cumbersome manner or not at all.
With money borrowed from gullible
Uncle Sam, Johnny Bull is reaching
out stealthily and encricling foreign
trade with his greedy talons. When
will the United States awaken to the
treacherous behavior of their former
ally, whom they rescued from severe
trouncing by entering the World con-
flict in the nick Of time?

robbers are claiming their toll Of
filthy lucre. The wave of crime seems

Why La Toilette Case Failed.

Dudley Field Malone, formerly col
lector of the port Of New York, has
explained why the expulsion case
against Senator La Toilette never
came to trial.
The conventional explanation of the
failure to press the La Toilette case
was that the Republicans needed his
vote to keep their senate majority,
but according to Malone the charges
miscarried because La Toilette told
the truth about the Lusitania carrying
ammunition. Mr. Malone says IN his
statement:
when Senator La Toilette was
on trial he demanded a copy of the
report of the collector of the port OF
New York and the state department
refused on the ground that the report
had become part of the secret ar
chives. As it happened 1 wrote this
report on the Lusitania because l had
examined her as collector of the port
of New York.
II considered the persecution OF
La Toilette was frameup on Senator
La Toilette and fraud on the Amerl-
can people. l informed his counsel
and told his counsel to inform the
government that I would testify lr
support Of the senator's statements
Whereupon the trial was postponed
from week to week and finally dropped
president Wilson was perfectly
right when he denied the charge made
by the German government that thu
Lusitania was armed But the ad
ministration was dead wrong when i
sought to keep from the public knowl
edge of all facts about the case"
