for a long time. So Nine. Doche
goes down in history as the first

'Since then" the writer con.

Camille has been pla. ed by more

other role in the world. 1t was
the part that won Sarah Bern

THE LEAPING
PORPOISE

TT is not in mere playfulness
4 that the ,porpoise leaps about
in the sea. but for very prac.
teal reason, points out Mack Sen.
nett, the movie producer whose
hobby is the study of deep-sea life,
in an article in this weeks Lib
erty. Describing a recent trip he
made to photograph the under.
water life off the coast of Lower
California, he writes:
Zone of the mysteries of the sea
to me has been the leaping Of the
porpoises. To my great satisfac-
tion we got innumerable photo
graphs of them in their quieter
moments under the water, swim
ming in a manner quite sedate and
demure, always in pairs.
II learned that their purpose in
leaping is to store up air in their
lungs" he explains. Like the
whale, the porpoise is a mammal.
The whale comes up to blow and
to take air into his lungs. but the
porpoise does the same thing on
the fly. He literally congresses
the air. He takes a gulp and
forces it down into his air cham.
bers, like stored.up air in a. ma
chine; then takes another gulp and
congresses that until he has a
