Feiened Insanity and Escaped Pri-
son Camp

While Charles De Roche is now
signed with Paramount Pictures on
a long term contract, 1t is said that
he never will have to. play the diff
ficult role which he assumed for a
period Of eighteen months with no
reward expected except his personal
freedom.
Mr.. DE Roche was captured on the
:Somme by the enemy. September 6,
1916 and, after the failure of one at
tempt to escape from the prison at
Guttersloh, Bavaria. adopted the ex-
pedient of feigning insanity. De
Roche says that never has his acting
ability received such test, before
or since. because. while he was able
TO fool the unlearned observers, 1T
was much more difficult to pass the
severe tests imposed by the doctors
Attempts to feign insanity are be-

Roche, however, succeeded in his
strange and long-sustained dramatic
performance and was eventually re-
