While filming such a slaughter, Gibson was laid low with 17 machine gun bullets in his legs. Oliver had his head split open by a soldier's gun-butt and was hauied off to jail with his camera.

A THRILL A SECOND
(GENERAL ADVANCE STORY)
CARRYING a content of sixty thrills to the minute, with Graham MacNamee, noted radio announcer and Talking Reporter of the screen supplying the rapid fire comments on the action, "Camera Thrills," Universal's new feature comes to the theatre on
These thrills were collected by Universal cameramen from the four corners of the earth. Many of them were shot at risk of life or limb by these newsgatherers of the films while on the job covering revolutions, dangerous strike riots, fires and airplane crashes. Transporting such film after photographing, by ocean liner, fast plane, speedboat and automobile constituted a thrill in itself suitable for a chapter in the feature. The picture was prepared for the screen by Charles E. Ford, head of Universal Newsreel.
Among the most sensational scenes of "Camera Thrills" are the assassination of King Alexander of Jugoslavia and French minister Barthou as they rode through the streets of Marseilles, the burning of the steamship, Morro Castle, the Chicago Stockyards fire, the fighting in the San Francisco strike, where cameramen were forced to wear bullet proot vests and steel helmets in braving the dangei zone, and testing of bullet proof glass.
