Annette Kcllcniiniui in Ne
Sub-Sea Fantasy, "Queen
of tbe Sea"
1 Think twice before 3-ou speak, anil
then talk to oursclf," might not bo such
a bad motto for those witnessing a mo
tion picture In the imUIng, lit tho light
of what happened a short tlmo ago at
Bar Harbor, Me, where Annette Keller
mann made sonio of tho scenes for the
subsea fantasy. ' Queen of tho Sea,"
which will bo shown here at tho Vlc-
'torla Theatre the week of January 20.
One of her feats requlicd that sho walk
a tight wire stretched clgmy-mo feet
above the ocean.
I'o r days Miss Kellermann awaited fa
vorable atmospheric conditions Crowdii
of millionaire cottagers would como out
In tho morning .4nd sit on the rocks for
hours hoping to seo tho "stunt." The
Winds continued to blow, howetcr, nnd
tho expectant spectators becamo more
nnd more disappointed
"I don't bellovo sho's going to walk
the wire nt all,' n cottager remarked
as tho famous swimmer passed by.
That decided Mis Kellermann. File
went to tho tower from which tie wire
was suspended nnd announced that she
was going to wall: tho strand that day
regardless of tho galo which wa3 blow
ing, nnd sho did.
"I didn't want those people to think
tliat I had a r-ellovv Etreak, ' was Mlsi
Kellermann's explanation for her sudden
decision.
