In filming one of the scenes in the Universal .feature “Taking Chances,’’ due in Shannon on Saturday night, > and starring the new screen wonder, Richa,rd Talmadge, it was necessary for Dick to get away from a band of crooks. To calmly walk out of the door was too commonplace for Dick, so undertaking directing of the scene himself he ordered camera man to start, cranking, leaped from a table to the top of the door, then to a large chandelier swinging in the centre of . the room, and from that he swung out of a small window and dropped 30 feet, to the ground below. This is one of the many scenes which go to make “Taking Chances” such a fast-moving ; comedy-drama.. MONDAY’S FEATURE. A story of that wonderful organisa,tion the English Secret Service is told in the “Man from Scotland Yard” with Earfo' Williams and Betty Ross Clarke. The “Man from Scotland Yard” is a story of India. Earle Williams ns a secret service agent goes to ■ Tndia disguised as a rajah to solve the mystery of a leak in the British secret service code. Here he meets with an attractive young girl, but owing to the difference 1 of the East and West, the girl feels she can never marry him. When the mystery is solved and he appears as an Englishman the lov& affair culminates in a. happy marriage. The picture will be screened on Monday night.
