Wabash Ave. Chicago, 111. IT is difficult to persuade the public that the scenes of photoplays are real, and that actors must necessarily undergo many ordeals to secure the effects essential for the realistic drama. The theatrical fake has been so common that the reading public regards the dangers of plunges behind the scenes with showers of salts thrown in the air to show water, or falls over beetling cliffs, three feet high, upon soft mattresses, with freedom from fear of serious results for the participants. In the motion pictures, however, it is altogether different. The actors must do things and the artificial does not serve. Recently in Los Angeles Edward J. Le Saint, director of the Selig Polyscope Company, was staging some Western scenes in the mountains when an accident occurred which imperiled the lives of a number of people of the stock company. The famous old Concord stage, one of the prized possessions of the Edendale studio, was being driven down a winding mountain road at a high rate of speed by Art Acord when the kingbolt pulled out on a turn. As a result the front wheels were carried away and the coach was capsized. Inside the vehicle were Stella Razeto, Arthur Blake and Joe King, and on the driver's seat with Acord, was Billy Elmer. Miss Razeto was seriously hurt, receiving several bad scalp wounds and ugly bruises, and all the others were much shaken up. After gamely requesting the rescuers, who piled down the mountainside and picked her up, to attend to the others. Miss Razetto lost consciousness. She was whirled away to the Sisters' Hospital in one auto and King, Blake and Acord were taken away in another to have their bruises dressed Happily all concerned are now mending. The play in which the accident occurred was "Kid Pink and the Maharajah." IL.3VIS FOR Sl.OO PER REEL Including Features. Posters With Every Reel ILLINOIS FILM SERVICE CO. Ellsworth Building 537 S.
