Cross river on ferry to Canada for Niagara Falls, Canada. See falls at night on Canadian side. Stay all Makes Flops Pay. The "straight-back" is another difficult fall, Cline explained. It's just a matter of straightening up rigidly and fall over backward without moving a muscle.

"There's a guy around town, Johnny Rand, who still makes a living doing nothing but straightbacks," the director said. "Then there was the straight-front, and the neck fall. To do a neck fall, you generally run as fast as you can and flop forward, breaking the impact with a kind of twist of the neck and shoulders. Buster Keaton he's directing now, too always was best at that one." The origin of the pratt fall is lost somewhere in vaudeville antiquity. Everybody agrees, though, that it was first identified with some slapstick comic named Pratt who probably specialized in bouncing back on his derriere.

There are high and low pratt falls, the high one generally being a surprise reaction in which the comedian leaps into the air and comes down seat first. In the "low pratt," the actor doesn't jump; just falls backward. Cline says that the late Fatty Arbuckle, well-upholstered as he was, often injured himself doing pratt falls and almost always sat on an air cushion when he was not before the camera. i 15. I usned.

(NEA) The Keystone KopS have been demobilized for 18 years, but much of their technique, all of their gags, and most of their baffling terminology live after them.

Th Sennett films were comedy of the broadest, most exaggerated order, yet they gave a thorough grounding in film fundamentals to the men who worked in them. Frank Lloyd, Roy Del Ruth, Eddie Cline, William Seiter, Malcolm St Clair and Eddie Sutherland, for example, were Keystone Kops, and now are top-notch directors of the more suave and sane cinema. Any one of them will bet that you can't name a piece of comedy business from a motion picture which they can't trace back to the days of the Sennett sillies. These men, and all the rest of Hollywood, still use the argot that developed from pioneer flickers. A Falling Star.

"The best of 'em tl all," he said, ''was Ben Turpin. Or the craziest which amounted to the same thing. I'll bet if he walk- e(j jn this office now and I said, 'Do a 108, he try it if it killed him. And Turpin's 63 years old. "A 108? well, that's a little number that Turpin invented and named.

He used to claim that there were 108 kinds of falls, and this was the topper of all of them. To go into a 108, Ben usually got hit or kicked and hard! from behind. Then he'd do a three-quarter front somersault in the air and land flat on his back. "Sure it hurt him, sometimes. We all got to be expert in snapping each other's vertebrae back into place, because in the early days $3 was a day's pay and it was even more painful squander it on a doctor bill.

Most people don't know that Turpin's eyes were crossed from an injury in a fall. He used to do a vaudeville act and, incidentally, he worked with a tomato cart for a hat, and that suggested the comic-strip character, Happy Hooligan, so you know how lonjago that was. "Anyway, he was doing this vaudeville act, and it ended with a headspin off a ladder. One night he lit too hard on his head, and when he woke up he was cockeyed. He thought he'd never act again, and for awhile he was a janitor in the old Essanay studio In' Chicago.

But he found it was a lucky accident, after alL and toe-fore he retired Ben was making $3,500 a week. He has a house in Beverly Hills and a $100,000 trust fund and is sitting pretty."
