When Jean Lussier, daredevil
supreme, rode over Niagara Falls

lowing his every movement and
secured remarkably thrilling mo-
ton pictures OF Lussler's amazing
achievement. These motion pic

In M.G.M News.
Lussier's proposed adventure
was so foolhardy that the police
on both the American and the
Canadian sides did everything In
their power to prevent ats taking
place. Lussier and his attend
ants eluded them all and the trip
over the falls was successfully
made with only one cameraman
recording the momentous event.
The pictures that appear ex.
cIusively in M-G.M News show
Iussier in the great rubber ball
entering the swir1ing current and
then the swift descent to the
seething caldron below. They
show the ball tossed about in the
whirlpool and show the daredevil
being rescued mile further down
with no more serious injuries
than a discoIored eye to remind
him of the remarkable expedience'
through which he has passed.
