DOESN'T GO ALL
THE WAY

Evelyn Law, famous dancer ap-
pearing with Leon Enrol in Louie
the 14th" at the Ziegfeld Cosmo-
politan Theuter, in New York, took
out $4,000 insurance policy. on
Saturday. It has a clause provid-
ing for an extra hazardous risk,
due to the fact that she is cata-
pulated from beneath the stage,
through trap door, and through
an enormous basket OF flowers, so
that she literally shoots into the
arr in the dinner scene, landing
on her toes on the table in the
center of the astonished guests.
The apparatus, invented by Ed
ward Royce, who. staged Louie
the 14th" provides for a miniature
elevator which is catapulted up
ward at terrific speed, when four
stage hands let go heavy weights.
This elevator is, necessarily, very
small-just large enough TO hold
Miss Laws trim figure. AT the
top of the elevator shaft is the
great basket Of flowers which is
placed in the center of the banquet
table. When the trap is sprung,
Miss Law flies upward and she
energies into view. after being
forced through the network OF
flowers which covers the opening.
The slightest nniscalculations on
Miss Laws part, or that of the
stage hands might mean that she
would bump her head, scratch an
arm, or twist an ankle
Any of these accidents might re-
suit seriously. She has carefully
rehearsed the role, however, and
so far everything has worked
smoothly. But Miss Law believes
in taking every precaution, and so
yesterday she received the insur-
ance policy which will pay her
$4,000 in case she cannot dance,
: and pro rata sum in case she is
disabled temporarily.
Aetna Accident Insurance Com
/pany carries the policy.
