Hollywood.-Stocky, baldiSh, mild
looking Dave Kashner cracks q
whip over Hollywood He makes
stars pale with fear and executives
shiver with anxiety. For Kashner
uses real whip, vicious lash that
could flick of mans finger-or
Clark Cables ears, for that matter.
A ticklish thing about whip work
Is that II can't be readily faxed or
Its danger minimiled. He couldn't
be accurate II he stood up close or
welded his weapon gently, Some
times he must wrap whip around
O persons neck or an arm, and then
the trick Is not to cut 'em with the
lash. But KaShner hasn't injured
anyone since he came TO the movies,
and that was In 1924,
Like q comedian who yearls 10
play Hamlet, Kashner Is q stunt
specialist who wants 10 be an actor
And he does act occasionally
usually bare TO the waist for the
display OF his muscular torso. But
he's genuinely famous as q whip
cracker, and the cycle OF action
fiickers keeps him fairly busy.

CUTS CIGARET
FROM SINGERS LIPS

In 1.-THE Road 70 Singapore
there's an exciting sequence begin
ming with q whip dance by Anthony
Quinn and Dorothy Lamour. Dur
ing II, Quinn apparently cuts q
cigaret from the actress lips and
clips o rose from her hair. AT the
finale, she goes over 10 table where
Bing Crosby and Bob Hope are Sit
ting, but the bullwhip reaches out
and snakes her back by an arm.
Then there's O crack, and the foam
flies from Hopes beer: another
crack, and Hopes hat sails OIL his
head. Crosby rises TO hght, but the
whip curls around his ankles and
spills him.
These things are actually done
with O whip. But the man on the
other end OF 1t is Kashner, not
Quinn.
He remembers, as kid In Poland,
watching admiringly as shepherds
popped long whips over their fiockS
to keep them from bunching. But
he didn't become really expert with
the lash until about 30 years later,
when he and Douglas Fairbanks
practIced, as q hobby, between
scenes In pictures. Kashner had be-
come an athlete and symnast, and
he became associated with Fair
banks during filming Of "The Black
Pirate" After that he worked for
the star as q trainer and workout
partner; still does, occasionally,
partner.
