UR readers will lje inter to learn that Douglas Payne, the popular British characterr, bus joined the Army Yetei inary Corps. and is at the present tim.stationed at St. Albans. Pre% i to bis joining up Mr. Payne bad just finished a film with the TransAtlantic, in which he played the title-/'Ve. The part is of quite an unusual type, but we are sure that the producer could not have civ a man better fitted for the rSte, in which both talent and make-up are shown to the very best advantage. As we stated in our interview with hirn some months ago, -Mr. Payne has bad vast experience in the theatrical world, and it is intei ■ note that be is one of the few cinema stars who kn ws the ropes from beginning to end/ He has travelled practically all over the world with various theatrical companies. Many readers will doubtless never foi his brilliant rendering of the "Knight'' in the magnificent production of The Miracle at Olympia. During the last two years this popular actor has devoted all his time to pictures, and two of the latest films in which he appears are Fine Feathers, produced by Maurice Elvey. mid' The Devil's Bondsman, a Trans-Atlantic all-British production, to be released in due course by Gaumont. DOUGLAS PAYNE. A Lion Smashes the Camera. IN filming Heights of Hazard, a five-part Yitagraph Blue Ribbon Feature, picturised by Eugene Mull in from Cyrus Townsend Brady's novel of the same name, the realism of an African hunt scene was emphasised by the use of a real lion. Although Charles Richman and Eleanor Woodruff, the principals, did not take part in the scene, t interested spectators, and occupied a position just lxick camera. All during the taking of the scene the lion appeared restless, and. although obeying the commands of bis trainer, gave evidence that something was wrong. The actors were conscious' of the unusual strain on the keeper., but concluded their work without any mishap. When the scene was finished the trainer turned bis back for an instant. The Lion gave a mighty roar and. heading for the little group of pit around the camera, gave one tremendous spring. The keeper and camera-man both drew their revolvers, but before they had a chance to use them the lion bad accomplished what he set out to do. He had demolished the camera. Then, without paying the slightest attention to the frightened and cowering actors, be calmly walked over to bis cage and waited for bis master to open the door. Hard Lines on Henley.
