A MODERN VERSION OF AN OLD FABLE H 'OW do they ever get a picture like that."" Everyone who goes to the movies, impressed with the hazards that actors must chance, has asked this question at one time or another. Sometimes an effect can be secured thru double exposure or some other camera trick. But often, on the other hand, scenes are filmed involving great danger to the players participating in them. This is especially true where animals are concerned in the action, for the most perfectly trained wild animal is still a wild animal and it is possible for a return to type to take place at any moment. This happened recently when a scene of a wolf attacking a man was being filmed for ''The Call of the Woods," at Lake Placid, New York. A trained timber wolf turned and attacked Jiis trainer, Jacques Sussane. The director and cameraman paid no attention to Suzzane's first call for help, since the attack was part of the 'script, and they thought both the wolf and Suzzane were going thru the action that had been rehearsed. Then the note of stark terror in Suzzane's cry informed them of the fearful thing that had happened. With their assistance, Suzanne, who is a trapper, finally subdued the wolf sufficiently for the other members of the company to corner him and kill him.
