32 SORRY TO GIVE BUT ONE HEAD FOR FILM Being struck over the head with a vase, statue or jardiniere isn't always as funny as it seems. It is to laugh when it is done in the movies--if you are in the audience. It is not to laugh if you are the actor. In studio parlance these vases and statues are known as "breakaways," be- ing specially constructed for movie work and presumably delicate enough to be shattered by the slightest contact with anything as hard as human heads. However, the breakaway makers oc- casionally get a poor mixture of their clay and the vase hardens to a bust- proof texture. Many actors, who have been -break- away targets, will testify to the un- breakable qualities of a breakaway. Charles Gerrard is one.. During the production of "Her Temporary Hus- band," the comedy-drama which will be featured at Community House next Fri- day, Gerrard was supposed to do a Gi- braltar under a vase wielded by Owen Moore. The blow struck and Gerrard struck the floor. The breakaway was a breakaway. in name only. Blood trickled down the actor's head as he slowly picked himself up, and pro- duction was halted until Gerrard came to. A nasty knock--a smali laceration --and a splitting headache--but all in a day's work on the movie lot. Tuesday, December 23, Colleen Moore will appear in "Through the Dark," as- sisted by Forest Stanley. This is an adaption of one of Jack Boyle's well known 'Boston Blackie" stories. Mrs. A. S.
