Although the company maintains a fully equipped hospital at its ranch in the San Fernando valley, the Hollywood studios are seven miles distant and immediate aid to the injured i- often required. Dr. Lloyd Mace, a practicing physician-, who is also well known as an actor, has been placed in charge of the hospital at the Hollywood Studios.

Shortly after this, during the production of "One of the Bravest." a stage carpenter was badly hurt by a falling timber. Since then a number of minor accidents have occurred. The new emergency hospital is located in the upper story of the big property and costume building which has just been erected. GRIFFITH WATCHES STARS 1) \Y.
