Edited by Grantland Rice
A subject which clearly shows the necessity of close figuring by those who earn their livelihoods in. dangerous occupations.
The aerial gymnasts must not fail in their figuring when swinging through space; the whip slashing artist must figure close, but not too close, when cutting a cigarette in half while held in his partner's teeth; the high diver at the country fair must not fail to hit the water in the seemingly small tank scores of feet below him; the falling artists must not fail to fall just so, and the team who come down the chute in two small cars — the first one doing a loop in the air while the second passes under him — must time their act to a split second.
A very interesting picture taken in part in slow motion will interest audiences of all ages.

These are followed by scenes of sailing craft of different types and sizes in Golden Gate Harbor, and closing with Cecil DeMille on his beautiful schooner "Seaward," charting the course, hoisting sail and under way.

Coney Island, one of the world's most famous playgrounds, offers its amusements in place of thrills gotten at greater expense or in more distant fields.
The steel steeds of the Steeplechase replace saddle horses ; Flying Swings are a substitute for airplanes ; the Dipping Waves of steel give their riders the motion of the ocean waves. In similar ways the Tumbling Barrel, the Giant Coaster, the Shoot-the-Chute, the Spinning Tables and others offer the amusement and thrills of their counterparts to their riders and spectators.
