S PASSING OUT THRILLS OMETHING new in thrills was given New Yorkers the other day and Wanda Wiley, the Century comedienne, was responsible for the stunt. It was her first trip to the metropolis, but mstead of being thrilled by the sights she contributed enough excitement in one afternoon to last for many moons.
It was a perfectly good publicity stunt — a stunt nevei worked before — and Henry Clay Bate of Tennessee and Universal inspired it. He tied it up with the Free Milk Benefit Bouts, New York's big charity fights of the year — which International filmed for special distribution in New York State. These bouts were held Decoration Day evening at the Yankee Stadium and registered the passing of the world's light heavyweight championship from Mike McTigue to Paul Berlenbach.
But to get back to Henry and Wanda. The star's breath-taking stunts for the Milk Fund came about as a result of a dare. On her first day in town she recklessly darted through the heavy traffic of Broadway — and was as immune from injury as Washington during the Revolutionary War. So Henry dared her to stage a traffic dodging demonstration. Permission was obtained from the police who were only too willing to co-operate in subduing the jaywalkers. It was Wanda's job to show how surely a person courts death or accident by dodging through traffic when the signals are set against him. A traffic policeman was assigned to the task of saving Miss Wiley when she became trapped among the autos.
The demonstration was staged three times in the Times Square sector, and twice on that extremely busy corner, Fifth avenue and 42nd street. The stunt lasted twenty minutes in each place and drew enormous crowds. The star did her stuff O. K. and caused considerable excitement as she darted in the path of speeding autos — only to dodge back in the nick of time or be rescued by the traffic officer.
