GLAD ITS OVER

GLAD ITS OVER
 In forest fire picture, HIburn had another experience which he is glad is in the past Instead of the future
 His assignment was 10 ride through in an engine, through eleven acres of the flaming pines The trip was estimated as one of 60 seconds. But something went wrong with the engine and it was much longer.
 "rhe girl in the cab fanted" says Hnburn, and We had most exciting time. Asbestos clothing which We wore and wet blankets we had taken for precautionary reasons saved us. but not without bit of singelng and much smoke absorption"
 Another time Hilburn shooting train acci. dent, in which the engine was to hurtle over the broken end of a bridge A platform had been built for him and his camera.
 But at the last moment the director decided a better effect would be obtained if the end of the bridge from which the engine was to leap was raised
 We didn't realize it then, but he couldn't have aimed better f he had been trained gunner Iliiburn relates.
 When the engine came hurting through the air straight al him, there was only one thing for the camcraman to do duck. And he did it. His oamara ended in scattered debris some 70 feet away,

1t was impossible to shoot on account of the water dashing against my camera.
 ,"Too bad,' he answered. Wen have to do it over'"
 But profted by my experience and fixed my. self so that the waves hit mo sideward next time" Hilburns most nerve.wracking experience came in the Rocky Mountain range in Canada.
 TICKLISH JOB
 "The thriller in this bit of film was to be a canoe accident. After shooting the upset, the director wanted a couple of views of the bark racing down through particularly pcrnicious stretch of, rapids,
 '"The only way to get to the waters edge from the cliff above was by means of ropes. The canoes had to be lowered the same way.
 ''I was stationed on a rock in the middle of the rapids, and some French Canadians we had picked up as helpers were on the banks with long poles to catch the canoes before they drifted too far down stream, so we could repeat
 "But they didn't. They lost all the canoes. and was mad, I stood on my rock and called them every name could think of in every language I knew.

FARE YOU EILLED?"

Hilburn trained his camera, when bang! up went the mountain and the sky became thick with pebbles and rocks overhead
 Then came the other members of the company yelling, Are you killed? Are you killed?"
 Never touched" he answered It was the truth He had got so close that the debris all went over his head. hundred yards further back from the mountain and he would almost inevitably been killed or seriously injured
 "The next thing the director wanted to know after discovering me alive was whether I had got the blast on the film, Would you believe. had been % scared l didn't know whether had turned or not But when we got the film de. v'loped' there il al! was. had turned the crank automatically"

 THRILL ALL GONE
 Such a man-he is but one among many--is Percy Hilbarn cameruman for Hollywood movie concern.
 Hilburn has faced death so many times that all the thrill of 1t is gone.
 He has faced it on earth under the earth on water, under the water and in the air.
 Hilbutn is movie hero. but not the type who does his 'perils' by doubles, nor receives public applause for them. Hes the man behind" a cameranan who grinds for others paudts.
 Hiburn went to Brooklyn N T.. from his fathers southwestern ranch in 1907 handicapped by the name Of Percy. but more than offsetting this by his feet 1l1a inches of daring-and bril- liant red hair.
 Casting about bit, he decided to become motion picture cameraman. He obtained employ. ment-and most strenuous initiation. As he tells his frat experience:
 BATTLE WITH PIRATES
 "It was pirate picture we were to shoot off Oyster Bay.
 "The main thrill was to be battle between a sailboat and a number of pirates in rowboats. q was detailed the first day to get the scenes the ssilboat crew would see as they looked down into the pirates boats. To do this it was deemed advisable to tie me to the bowspr of the sailboat face down and with only my hands free. Not fOresesing coming events, made no objection. Everything was fine until we got into rough water. Then. with each dip of the bow. down would go my head under water, mouth and nose and ears filling. But through it all I clutehed my camera.
 At length when we got back 10 land. half drowned and filled crown to soles with salt water the director asked me what had got. told him

 cities. They will walk a tight. rops suspended between the twen. tieth floors of two sky-scrapsrs. Or they will stand on their heads atop fiagpole 400 feet in the air. Or they will climb the outside of q build. ing.
 Why is 1t these individuals never feel dizzy, never fear high places? Ordinary people would be paralyzed at the mere thought Of doing these stunts themselves.
 Scientists and medical men say there Is no reason why people should be afraid to walk across a plank over a high gorge any more than they should fear to cross 1t if 1t is on the ground.
 Man has fear of high places, though, and most people become panic-stricken when in such posi-. tions. There is an instinctive desire when atop very high building to push oneself away from the railing. Just the idea of looking down and IMAGINING you might fall Is enough to send the chils playing merrily up and down the spine. COME university professor once D said;
 You do not become dizzy at height-at least, not in the true sense of the word. Your fear thought. however, does excite the end organs in the semioircular canals and caus. a complicated reaction. which results in organic and mental effects.
 It is an interesting fact that the fear of falling is the only fear tO which babies responded in a psycho. logical test, showing that this Is the deepest rooted fear of all"

4 MISTAKE, BUT

This was done. Then I was sent up to get some downward shots of what the elopers saw in their supposed ride in the dredger
 When the swing had been made and while I was still fin the dredger eight feet above ground the director wished to tell me that had enough so he yelled to me all right With that the dredgerman opens her up, and down I come through the teeth with the whole load of dirt tumbing all about me.
 My stomach was badly ripped by the teeth, and my nose was saved to me by an inch or so."
 In the early days of the motion picture industry explosives were not understood by movie men as they are today. That fact alone saved the life of Percy Hilburn.
 The shot" Hnburn was after was of blast which was to blow out mountain. One hundred and sixty tons Of dynamite were to be used.
 Hilburn stationed himself about zoo yards away, while the directors and actors went much further back
