WAIT FOR EDDIE POLO!
When Eddie Polo was appearing in the various
episodes of “The Lure of the Circus,” the sensational
serial in which he has created a furore in motion-pic
turedom, one of the scenes called for an escape from
a huge lion.
«“You're all wrong, mister,” Eddie told the director.
“Tt isn’t done any more. If I wentin there and escaped
nine tenths of tf}l’e picture fans would cry ‘fake.” I'm
going in against that big fellow in the menagerie and
I'm going to show you a regular honest-to-goodness
battle.”
There was a battle, the like of which nobody in
pictures ever saw before, but in the end Eddie was the
victor. “Now stop the camera,” he called and forced the
giant Nubian to lie down. Then Eddie stretched out
beside the animal and shouted:
“Start turning again and you've got a picture the
fans will howl their heads off about.”
