Lahr House and registered as the
mans sister. She said she did not

story the man took Phyllis and put
her on a train, paying her fare to

SATURDAY NIGHT"-A CECIL
DE MILE PRODUCTION AT
THE VINING

Cecil B. De Mile henceforth can
direct his players in death -defying
stunts with absolute knowledge of
what is required after a personal ex-
perience in filming one of the scenes
from Saturday Night" the latest
De Mile Paramount production.
which will be seen at the Vining
theater tonight and tomorrow and
Thursday
In this perturbation of Jeanie Nc
Pherson's story, two characters are
trapped on railway trestle a hun
dred feet from the ground. Aban-
dOning their automobile, the pair
swing below the ties as the motor IS
crushed and tossed to the gulch be,
low by the passing train.
In rehearsing this scene, Mr. De
Mile Joined Leatrice JOY and Jack
Mower on the trestle, All three were
unaware of the approach of train.
The rehearsal suddenly became
real life.
Miss JOY and Mr.. Mower, being
nearer the end of the trestle, reached
the bank, but the director was un-
able to make it, Following the di-
rections in his own scenario, he has
tily swung himself out on a string
piece of the bridge and clung there
as the train flashed by.
Although entirely hnintentional,
the experience proved of value in
directing the subsequent scenes in
which the actors duplicated Mr.. De
Miles emergency action before the
cameras.
