DIFFICULT CAMERA WORK
ON SPEEDING BOAT One of the most difficult scenes photographed for motion pictures was obtained during the making of “Feel Bul se, ’ Bebe Daniels’s latest starring vehicle for Paramount, recently completed at the Hollywood studio. It consists of several “shots” of the star in a speed-boat that is moving through the water at a rate of 40 miles an hour. This speed, combined with a heavy sea, was responsible for the trouble. At first it was found impossible to hold a camera on the scene of action, but this was finally overcome by mounting it on a bed of springs, themselves held in place by the three-point suspension principal. Gregory La Cava directed “Feel My Pulse,” and Richard Arlen and William Powell are featured in the cast.
