C., was chief cinematographer on the feature, and those who have seen the pre-view state that, photographically, it is Rosher’s masterpiece to date — and that means a great deal to those who are familiar with cinematographic history!” Wynn Recovers Following Ride to Niagara’s Edge Ed WGl^NN, the comedian, is recovering from the effects of an experience at Niagara Falls where an attempt to introduce a touch of realism into “Rubber Heels,” the Paramount film production, carried Wynn to the brink of the falls. Hundreds of spectators along the shores of the St. Lawrence at first applauded Wynn’s daring as he stood in a box drifting down the river toward American Falls, but as the box neared the falls women screamed and men gasped. Wynn stood in the box looking away from the falls and without knowledge of the proximity of the edge. The box was on a barge representing a cake of ice and was fastened to a wire tied to an iron piling in the middle of the river. The barge had been pulled into midstream by 30 men in hip boots, tied together with safety lines fastened on shore. As the box drifted toward the falls, the barge was turned around by means of steel wires to give the camera effect of the box and barge going into reverse. At this stage Wynn, who had been looking up the river, suddenly faced the falls and realized the significance of the screaming on shore. The hox had drifted so close to the edge that Wynn could peer straight to the bottom of the chasm. Realizing his danger, Wynn quickly crouched in the box and slammed the lid, a signal ending the scene. The box was pulled back into the shallow water. Livingston Back on Fox Lot in “Grandflapper” Although having obtained her release • from Fox recently, Margaret Livingston is returning to that company to play in “The Grandflapper” by Nina Wilcox Putnam. Miss Livingston is cast as a hard-boiled flapper whose “wisecracks” are full of sage advise and wholesome truths. Contrary to RAY JUNE Cinematographer “EYES OF THE NIGHT” Director Mark Sandrich and Cameraman Len Smith are caught in action by the "Herald” camera while they take a scene on the Educational lot. her usual role of home and heart-breaker she will be responsible for the happy ending at the final fadeout. Prevost’s Mail Brings Letter from Far North T AST week Marie Prevost received a fan letter from a native of Spitzbergen — the well known explorers’ rendezvous. Apparently one of the Arctic expeditions had taken along some films and had given a free show to the residents of ice-bound Spitzbergen. One of the frost-bitten heroes of the frozen tundras was smitten with Miss Prevost’s beauty, thawed out his ink and wrote her a letter, which contained a request for her photograph. Anyhow, the Arctic fan’s ardor probably won’t be cooled by the bathing pose picture sent him by the Metropolitian star from sunny California. Nick Musuraca A. S. C.
