iestin Attraction

What are dare-devils? Men who
fearlessly take hazardous chances in
their different fields of endeavor.
Men who plunge themselves into per-
ilous predicaments and come out
smiling.
The world is full of those who
hirt with danger. The fireman, the
policeman, the arctic explorer, the
African hunter, the soldier and sail
or, the aviator, the inventor, the
chemist, the "human-fly" who scales
the side of buildings, the missionary
who fearlessly brings his religion to
the savage and scores of others.
These "dare-devils' only deplore
one fact, and that is hat life in
companies show great hesi-
fancy about issuing them policies,
some companies refusing it, abso-
lutely. An amusing thing occurred
in this regard when Harold Lloyd
was performing his hazardous feats
that of climbing the side of a
twelve-story building in his new
.Pathe comedy, Safety Last" which
is being shown now at the Majestic
Theatre. The comedian was forced
to promise his insurance agent that
he would never risk his life in such
a again. But just the same,
the thrills are there--apd some
