"Please, Mr. "Willets change that fifth episode." pleaded the direc tor. "We have had so many accU dents tr making this serial that I fear there Is a jinx on up and I am afraid something will happen If we turn that beast loose. Even Miss r.oland who generally takes every. thing as a matter of course - is looking forward to the fifth epi sode with dread." But "Willets wa adamant. In order to get the ac tion right that Tiger must be al lowed to gambol on the green and be filmed for once outside of his cage.."- So when the dreaded day came -4Jiey let his Tigerlets out and the cameramen bravely started turning their cranks, ever and anon glanc ing aroundto see that the trainers with their iron prods were standing near. The director decided that It would be an ad US scene, and stayed in the studio leaving the tiger to make up his own "business" for the scene. But the,.
