CENTRAL REOPENS HOLLYWOOD, Nov. 4 At least three grandfathers, any one of whom will jump off a 200-foot cliff or do a double flip in midair, are among 22 stunt men engaged to take the bumps in Humphrey Bogart's new picture, "Passage to Average age of the men is 44. "Age is secondary to knowledge and experience in stunting," explained Harvey Parry, studio representative, who cast the men. "A young fellow with too little experience might kill himself the first crack.

These fellows are never in any real danger because they know how to tumble and roll." Himself a former stunt man, Parry has retired at the age of 44 after doubling for nearly every well-known star in Hollywood, including many women. He is the father of a 24-ycar-old Marine and a 22-year-old daughter. Among the older stunt men on this picture is Richard Talmadge, who is 56. Talmadge can still fall 50 feet onto a thin mat and do a double somersault from a standing position. "Talmadge is a good example of why the average successful stunt man is middle-aged," explained Parry.

"He served his apprenticeship as a professional acrobat before coming to Hollywood. Then he spent 7 years learning the perfect timing and co-ordination necessary to stunting. It takes at least that long to make a stunt man." ivir. ivioguy waiting up Mr, Manners who drops off again while Mr. Mo WITH LUCAS RANI) Film Briefs guy wakes up Miss Bruce, Miss!

In the script the boys become violently ill, but Bacon wanted to avoid that on the set, so he appealed to those miracle workers, the special effects men. Their solution was a classic.

The cigars, not a brand to be found at any tobacconist, were packed with dry ice instead of tobacco. A little water added to the phony stogies produced what looked like smoke.
