"Another type of thrill is one such t'as the stunt in episode five, "One Against Many," in which I ride a log down a sluiceway. This stunt is one that cannot be rehearsed, and no guarantee made. - of safety. I started down the incline standing on the log, but when it reached lev el, the log bounced and I fell on my back, and was tumbled, with the ' log, into the reservoir.

Stocks and linen ; cuffs weren't comfortable, and they surely seem far more natural than the stiff collar of. today.. I can think ot nothing that would surprise me less than a return of the fashion that seems so grotesque when compared o our inartistic costumes of today."

It all happen between the dashing Wally Reid and Gloria Swanson in "The Affairs of Anatol," playing at the Strand theater. "Many Were Called But Few Were Chosen" For Erstwhile Tango One of the famous Parisian dance palaces of prewar days, which since has been the target for reformers' arrows, was constructed on the grounds of Metro's West Coast stu dios in Hollywood. Cat., as a setting for one scene of "The Four Horse men of the Apocalypse," which is to be the attraction at the Brandcis theater this week on a return en gagement. The scene shows vividly the mad dance craze which struck Paris im mediately before the European cat aclysm. Every detail was carried out faithfully according to plans and descriptions of the original Parisian palace, furnished by Mons. Jacques D'Auray, who handled the French technicalities of the production. A French officer himself, Mons D'Auray fought during the entire duration of the war, was wounded several times, and finally placed in the Intelligence branch of the serv ice. In this capacity, he came to the United States, where he met - and married the daughter of an Oregon ian newspaper owner. He and his wife live in Los Angeles, while Mons D'Auray engages in picture work. .Valentino, A Lover. In the Parisian dance resort scene, Rudolph Valentino, who as Julio Desnoyers, youthful hero of the story, has caused many fem inine hearts to go pit-a-pat, is called upon to execute some famous Tango and Maxixe dances for which he gained international reputation. This dance palace also sees the growth and development of the love affair between Julio and beautiful Mar guerite Lauruer, wife of the French senator Alice Terry, as Marguer ite, received accurate instruction from Mr. Valentino in the intricacies of the South American dr.nces. A Former Bathing Beauty Now a Real Celebrity As careers are recokened, Betty Compson's has been truly meteoric, Those who see her in her latest pic ture, "For Those We Love," playing at the Sun theater this" week, will recognize a talent that rose above adversity and found it ownv level. Not many years ago, Miss Compson wa playing the violin in an act on the vaudeville stage. Her success was the result of an unusual natural talent for music combined with a personality that reached beyond the footlights. It was during this period of her artistic career that Al.- Christie saw her. He immediately offered her what seemed a tremendous sum to become the leading lady in his fa mous screen comedies. To make this part of her story short, she made good immediately. Then, when the late George Loane Tucker en gaged Miss Compson for "The Miracle Man," the made uch a pro found impression on critic and pub lic alike that she decided to form her own producing organization. The California accident commis sion recently awarded $4,900 compen sation to the widow of Omar Lock ear. the noted aviator, who . was killed while makinj scenes of a pic ture. It was ruled that Locklear was an employe of the Fox company, notj a contractor. i real Tzganc orchestra furnishes the proper tempo for the difficult steps. Rex Ingram, the director, is said to have had great difficulty in as sembling the crowd for the palace scene, as the chief requirement was that they be adept at dancing the tango and maxixe.. It was a case of "many were called but few were chosen," as already the tango was a thing of the past, driven to limbo by the pernicious "shimmy" and "camel walk." Finally, Mr. Ingram succeeded in obtaining the desired number of dance experts, and under the tutelage of the best dancihg in structors obtainable in Los Angeles, the seemingly lost art of dancing the tango was revived,' with the fasci nating results shown upon the screen in "The Four Horsemen."

She is in love with the hero, and therefore jealous of the heroine, who is lovd by the hero. Ausable chasm was the scene of the action. "Hutch" is caught in the river's rapids and Ann Hastings, riding along the bank on her horse, rides in and pulls him out. In the first place, Mi Hastings, who is an expert horsewoman, hav ing all sorts of medals and cups to prove her prowess, had difficulty in forcing her horse off the shelf of rock that would precipitate them into a strong current. When she finally succeeded, the horse went down and Miss Hastings beneath. Instead of Ann rescuing "Hutch," the tables were turned. The horse swam safely to shore.
