guides. Bert Cann who had to put on three pairs of woollen mittens before being able to crank, kept the company in good humour by exclaiming every few seconds " Gee, it's hot ! '
A iter this happened for two or three days Juliette Compton with a well-aimed snowball kept him from repeating that same exclamation that made the characters in "White Cargo" go mad.
" We had a great deal of adventure on this trip," said Juliette Compton to me afterwards, "including a railway accident in which several of the company were laid up for a few days with bruises and shock. But after that things went all right.
"Cor our big snow scenes we loaned some aeroplane motors and their propellers revolving at a really terrifying speed sent the snow-dust in onr eyes and almost blinded us. These scenes were ever so realistic, as well as the avalanche which we did afterwards."
This brilliant young American actress, she is only twenty-three, is an extraordinarily beautiful girl. She bears a curious resemblance to Gloria Swanson, so much so that a great many of her photographs have appeared in the American press titled Gloria Swanson.
As well known on the stage as on the screen, Juliette Compton achieved her greatest success in Human Desires which was directed by Burton George. In this production she played opposite Clive Brook Marjorie Daw.
She has made one other picture in France, but this has not been released.

She is the original of the Harrison Fisher girl which caused such a tremendous sensation in America, and is considered one of the most beautiful women over there. She was one of the stars of the Ziegfeld Follies, and then she decided to come to England.
Here she took London by storm with her brilliant acting opposite Gerald du Maurier in " The Dancers " and later in Chariot's Revue.
" I am devoting my future to film work," she told me, " I really like it better than the stage although I receive many tempting ofTers to go on the boards. Only last week I received a splendid offer to return to America which I refused.
" I am going to make a film with Walter West directing. This is to be rather a novelty for me. as it will be one of the biggest racing films he has ever done. It will be an AstraNational production, and will be produced entirely in famous racing stables and courses all over England, . The story has been written by Atty Persse, and he has put all his racing stables and horses at Walter West's disposal.
" I then leave for France where I shall make one picture, and I am due to make two in Germany, so you see I am pretty busy."
By that time Juliette Compton had tied on her snow boots. She took her place in the toboggan, and in two seconds was well away. Five minutes later when I had got to the bottom, it was to find the toboggan overturned. I shook with laughter.
"What did you say?" said Juliette Compton.
" I said you might have walked."
Another snowball, then another, and another, and then nothing but snow balls!
