her money as easily as is common~

friends believed her incapable. acci-

At‘the time ch 2: for the cam-

be shot at night. Every person

sweaters and ovencosts. Miss Rich
had to do her “plunging" in a thin
little house drese-—because she had
lett home hurriedly. There were
tour “takes" on the shot before Di-
rector Harry Beaumont thought the
action was good enough and each
“take" meant. an ice‘bath and a bit
