MOVIE ACTRESS i FALLS INTO LAKE] Leading Lady In “The Harvester” Gets Extra Bath At Rome City A film tragedy was narrowly avert-; cd a few days ago at the famons Llm-' berlost cabin estate of the late Gene' ; Stratton-Porter near Rome City, where Leo Meehan is filming a motion picture adapted from “The Harvester,”, one of the author's most popular novels. Natalie Kingston, playing the leading feminine role, was precipitated into the icy water of Sylvan lake dressed in a voluminous costume which seriously interfered with any efforts td swim to safety. Diiector Leo Meehan, with his cametas stationed on shore, was about to photograph a scene in which Miss Kingston and Orville Caldwell, who plays the title role, canoe toward the lily bed* on the edge of the lake. The players were working from a float anchored in the water, and Caldwell, already seated in the canoe, had stopped to take on Miss Kingston. In stepping info the boat, she overbalanced the frail craft sufficiently to cause her to lose ther balance, and she plunged into the water. Caldwell, in a costome which included heavy boots, immediately jumped in to rescue her, as did Otto Henninger, still photographer, who was for 10 years a life saver at Ocean Park, Cal., and who was stationed in a rowboat nearby, to obtain still pictures of the scene. Miss Kingston was soon back on the float, little the worse for her experience. Fortunately, the players had bi ought from Hollywood duplicates of each of their costumes, so there ensued namely a change of clothes and a short rest before a warm fire in Limberlost cabin, and filming was resumed with a delay of little more than an hour.
