LON CHANEY'S INSUR.
ANCE AMENDED
His Ardu0us Work Brings Out New
Clause.

Howard Sherwood Tierney, general
insurance broker of No. 80 Maiden
Lane, who negotiated the acciden,
and disability policy on Lon Cheney
for q million dollars, effective during
the filming Of 1.-THE Hunchback Of
Notre Dame" at Universal City, has
stressed the unusual nature Of the
contract in q communication to Carl
Laemmle, President Of Universal Pic
lures Corporation, in which insistence
IL made that the actor does not work
more than half an hour at time IN
the contorted makeup of "Quasi-
modo," the mishapen bellringer.
Explanation to Mr.. Tierney, that
the picture had been completed did
not cause him to recede from hts
Dotut, for, he indicated, "retakes"
may be necessary and the actor, IN
effect, would be working through at
his original task-with even moro
risk after six months Of sometimes
painful distortion that entailed ire
mendous nervous and physical strain.
Tierney's letter, itself, is curious
exhibit:
"In negotiating a contract for ac-
cident and dilibility insurance cover
ing Lon CLANCY in "The Hunchback
of Notre Dame" I invite your atten-
ton to the restrictive clause inserted
on account of Mr.. Chaney's bodily
distortions in this picture.
"The fact that Mr.. CLANCY, iii play
ing the role of a hunchback, is har-
messed so that his normal stature OF
five feet ten inches is contracted to
four feet one inch, introduces haz-
ard with which the insurance COM
pany is entirely unfamiliar and there
fore on advise Of medical staff, the
company has restricted Mr.. Chaney's
acting in this role to thirty minutes

OUTBACK AND FLASHES

Do you know the melody of "Just
an Old Love Song? II you do it will
reveal the emotional feeling of Patsy
Ruth Miller in her portrayal of Es-
meralda in 1.-THE Hunchback of Notre
Dame" when you see this massive
production Of Victor Hugo's historical
classic. 1t is Patsy's favorite ana
was her daily inspiration during the
making of the story at Universal City.
It also was the favorite of Lon
CLANCY, who plays the title role, ana
all the rest Of the seventy-flve prin-
cipals at the completion Of the pro-
duction. Classical selections were
played on the "sets" most Of the time,
but when Miss Miller's emotional
scenes were being "shots" the orches-
ira always drifted into the popular
song. And an "Old Love Song" ma
turally goes with an old love story,
says Patsy Ruth.

Entienne De Marsac, international
literary authority, says Of Universa's
massive production Of "The Hunch-
back of Notre Dame" that ut unfolds
like a great medieval tapestry, full
of color, beauty, sentiment and ro-
nance, which leave IL unfading in the
memory of the beholder." This might
explain why, at the completion Of the
Victor Hugo classic, the principal ac-
tresses Of the cast were more or less
proficient in tapestry making. It all
started through an idea of Patsy
Ruth Miller, who played Esmeralda.
During the scenes in the magnifl
cent Gondelaurier mansion, she was
called upon to weave, while Norman
Kerry, as the dashing Captain Phoe-
bus, admiringly watched over hts
shoulder. For the sake of realism
Patsy Ruth took lessons in tapestry
weaving from an adept French wo-
man, now resident in Los Angeles.
And she became so enthusiastic that
she took it UP as a hobby. Other
feminine members fell to the lure OF
the art work and circle was formed,
which included among the principals.

In making such a big spectacle as
"The Hunchback of Notre Dame" cas-
ualties are not unfrequent, especially
where movements of great masses OF
players are necessary; but the film
ing of Victor Hugo's historical drama
at Universal City establishes re-
cord for precision and safety. 4
fully equipped hospital was estao-
lished in the shadow of the cathedral.
Several thousand extras in the mob
scenes-armor horsemen, who dashed
into the fray in front of the towering
edifice, and an army Of others. So
physicians were kept in attendance az
all times; but so carefully arranged
was the motion of the story that the
hospital was practically useless. Only
a few unimportant accidents happen

L. V. RAY WINS CASE OF
 CONTESTED LIQUOR SEIZURE

Word was received here today that L. V. Ray, counsel for the defense in the case of the United States vs. Gen J. M. Ashton and the trading schooner Iskum, had a verdict returned in his favor. The case grew out of the seiz- ure of the trading schooner Iskum, which touched in Seward on her way from Siberia to Tacoma, with a quan- tity of liquor aboard, the same being alleged stores for trading purposes. The liquor was seized by Deputy Reed upon orders from his superiors, and the vessel together with Gen. Ashton, a prominent Tacoma attorney and Capt. Putta, liberated under bond to appear at Valdez. It was claimed the Iskum put in here for repairs, and that the liquor consigned to Victoria parties, was not liable to seizure It is understood that the grand jury fail ed to find an indictment and the yes sel and owners were released from custody.

NEW CABLE ID SEWARD
 COMPLETED NEXT FALL

The new Alaska cable which is now under construction will be capable of handling four times the traffic that the present one can handle, the old cable being second hand when pur- chased twenty years ago and leaking badly.
 It is the intention to complete the cable to Sitka first, and later the Sit ka-Seward cable will be laid. Ihls will come direct to Seward from Sitka and will be in deep water where no danger exists of halibut boats fouling it with their anchors, as is the pres ent case. Branch lines will be laid from Seward to Cordova and from Seward to Valdez. At the present time Cordova and Seward are on branch lines, all business being relayed from the main office at Valdez. Following the laying of the new cable Seward will be the main office, official head quarters probably being at Fairbanks or Nenana. This means that the large operating force will be in Seward with Capt. Parsons and staff located at the Interior station
 The new cable will cost approxi- mately $15,000,000.

 Firpo hit the champion nine straight times with his right just before Demp- sey went sprawling through the ropes. As the eighth crashed to his jaw his head dropped and his knees wobbled. From the pictures it appeared as if the eighth blow had finished Dempsey.
