"Grania." as being given by the Ram s
Head Players, wears in the last act a
full suit of armor, which is an exact
reproduction of an ancient Irish coat
of mail which. James Reynolds AYERS,
was taken in perfect condition from
an old thirteenth century chest found
in a riverbed near Saintfield Castle,
County Down. some years ago.
When Robert Bell decided TO pro-
duce "Grania" at the Rams Head
play house, Jimmie Reynolds spent
week after week of research before
ne began developing and designing
the scenery and costumes for the
play, but found nothing that suited
his purpose SO well as a number OF
old drawings made during one of his
tours in North Ireland. =.
And so II happens that Walter Beck,
who admits that he is not as Irish by
birth as the rest of the Rams Head
Players. nevertheless insists that he

men if they had detrained on the al
kali plains of southern Utah at Mil
ford If a force of trained experts
had not preceded them. They had
eighty-f1ve miles to travel over rut-
weather and sticky with mud when
il was wet
For weeks before they had arrived
material had preceded them slowly.
Three big gasoline propelled trucks
with huge electrical generators
weighing eleven and one-half tons
each had been pushed and hauled and
showed foot by foot for the eighty
five miles. hundreds of flares had
been assembled, huge million-candle-
power sun arcs had been hauled over
the hills.
Lightning equipment for a city Of
tents and for taking pictures at night
was completely assembled when the
actors arrived. A road leading into
an arroyo like a canyon had been
blasted out of cliffs, SO the wagon
train could be realistically attacked
by Indians.
1t was a terrific struggle, even for
experts.
And then. after the equipment had
been assembled. gasoline leaked into
the crankcase of a huge motor which
ran a generator 1t blew up. Some
of the men were slightly injured. 1t
had to be dragged back over the
eighty-five miles of dust and mud
and repaired at Milford with the aid
of machine shop equipment of the

taken back to camp again.

and variety OF the equipment which
these modern men had to handle was
vastly greater and more complicated.
And it was all for the entertain

one of the most thrilling stunts in
the filming was enacted recently be-
fore a battery of four cameras in the

southern Utah. Lois Wilson. in the
role of Mollie Wingate, was rescued
by j. Warren kerrigan as Will Ban
ion when the horse she rode ran
away in a mad flight across the
prairie. In Emerson Hough's story.
Mollie, to show her bravery and in
something of a spirit OF pique, jumped
on Banion's black horse. Immediate
ly the animal started to run after a
few mad -plunges. Banion leaped
upon the first horse in sight. which
happened to be the one belonging to
Woodruff (Alan Hale) and started in
pursuit. He overlook the black.
pulled Mollie from the saddle and
came to a stop finally with the fright
ened girl across his saddle bows.
The stunt was performed twice, the
first time being bit too far from
the cameras. The second was made
almost in a closeup and proved that
both the principals were masters OF
horsemanship.
