To Death

New York, Apr. 1. FILM stunt girl Marcella Arnold was killed to-day while. F

car crash

scene.

Marcella only twenty-six years old, but she had crammed more adventure into her life than most people of sixty,

She had fallen out of airplanes, crashed in trains, jumped off high buildings, been in dozens of car smashes.

Her job was to "double" for screen beauties and do the dangerous things that endangered their locks.

She knew, no fear, enjoyed her work,

Her job to-day was just another car smash to Marcella.

She had to drive a car, swerve in front of the cameras, crash down a steep hill.

She did it once, but the director was not satisfied. He wanted more realism.

So Marcella tried again. Camera- men shooting the scene saw her mis- judge the swerve. The car toppled aver completely.

When they dragged her from the wreckage her neck was broken.
