REAL PUGILISTS IN FILM
That Thomas H. Ince, managing director of the New York Motion Picture Corporation, believes in injecting as much realism as possible in the picture that he has under his direction, was manifested when, just before he started working on the Domino photoplays, "The Heart of Kathleen" and "Widow Maloney's Faith," he took a trip up to San Francisco and brought back to Santa Monica two pugilists, known for their ability in assimilating punches on the jaw. They were used since in the plays in conjunction with Richard Stanton.
Stanton is a boxer of no mean ability, and in scenes where he has to use his hands or "put up his dukes,'' Mr. Ince has had quite a little trouble, for the actors refused to go on, as Stanton cannot seem to acquire the habit of "pulling" his punches.
In "The Heart of Kathleen," Stanton, as the hero, is upon the scaffold about to be hung, when suddenly he starts swinging right and left, and each of the two bruisers, acting as guards, take one on the jaw and go down for the count.
In one of the scenes in "Widow Maloney's Faith," Stanton mixes it up with a roomful, and here the pugilists, taking parts of Irish lads, take some pretty wallops before they go down.
