Viliams Rest When Kathleen Sprains Ankle
T HERE is no rest for tho wicked,
they cay.
> It’s not true. A band of
seme of the wickedest men that ever
drew breath rested for one week, on
ull pay, while “Who Is ‘Number
ne’?” the new Paramount serial, was
eing made.
It happened in the making of one of
I ho earlier episodes. You won't see
(them rest in the picture. As far as j
(liie spectator knows, they relentlessly I
pursue Kathleen Clifford, the star, to
the very end—except when she turns
and relentlessly pursues them.
It was this way Kathleen, fleeing
from “Number One’s” band, leaped
from the top of a house to the ground.
In the picture you see her land, jump
to her feet and sprint to safety. As a
matter of fact, Kathleen sprained an
ankle, fainted and crumpled up in a
heap when she struck the ground, and
they carried her away to the hospital.
The villains had to stop work. Ob
viously if they ha I caught her then
the story would have been all balled
up. Tie scenario writer had not pro
vided for accidents, and they had to
stick to his story. ) .1
When Kathleen’s ankle was well she
returned to the very spot on which
she had fallen. The camera started.,
she jumped to her feet and fled. And
the wicked men, alltrested up, went to
work pursuing her again.

I: is a patriotic duty of ilij ,'tmost

to increase :ur poultry production, but
