by Miss Stanley's interference.
And now the story
Then they went on with the opera
Naomi and Stella were still there when
they shot Scene 371. where the trick mule
throws the prince over his head. Some
thing did go wrong there. Ernest didn't
get up as he should have done. according
to the script. Instead he lay there very
much as a real prince or any one else
would have done after having been jolted
severely Upon the back of the neck.
For a minute nobody knew whether II
was acting or not. The director and the
camera men thought that Ernest was i'm
promising, as he sometimes did. So they
ground on.
But it didn't look right to Stella. She
was trained to recognize the symptoms
Of physical pain and to gallop to its re-
lief. In her business seconds meant lives
So she didn't wait.
She rushed to Ernest's side, lifted his
head into her lap, and began to undo
his collar.
Get water, ~bandages, absorbent cot
ton, cheesecloth, and telephone for a doc
ton she ordered crisply.
The Gamers men, still uncertain
cranked on. Nobody had thought to tell
them to stop.
Ernest really was hurt quite a little.
He had suffered enough of a jar to his
spinal column to lay him up for several
days. Stella offered to nurse him, but

to relinquish her. Instead she kept Stella
on in her W household until the end
OF the week and then dismissed her. She
had straight hair and a good practical
sort of face, but she was awfully young
and men do like to be petted. just as
well to let her slip back into the bog OF
obscurity.
Subsequent events, in a way. proved
her wisdom.
She herself called every day at the hos
pital with orchids, which were her IA
vorite flower, and kept in touch with his
recovery.
He was duly appreciative and made her
his con1dante in a professional difficulty
which had arisen while he was still laid
up. Jerry Rawlins wanted to be released
from her contract. The chance to play
the adventures in one OF c. B. DeMille's
optical illusions had been offered to her
and the opportunity could not wait
Ihere were other reasons why Jerry want
ed to leave the new Ernest Hamilton pro-
duction fiat. but she didn't tell them,
She didn't need to. Naomi knew what
they were. But she didn't tell Ernest,
either.
Naomi advised him to let her go. ut
will be a great chance for her" Naomi
knew which side of his nature to appeal
to. You haven't gone SO very far In
your own picture yet. If you put some
one else in, 1t will only mean retaking q
few scenes and, according to my opin-
ion. the result will be eminently better
II you nave a different type Of woman
playing opposite you, anyway"
Ernest accepted her advice and regret
fully parted with Jerry Rawlins. who had
come up with him out Of the ooze of the
custard pie period.
AS soon as he was we'll enough he ap-
peared on the lot. Naomi was with him
naturally. 1t was her car that had called
for him on the plea that he was not well
enough to go out In his w roadster yet

gested.
