Richard Talmadge in his latest, thrillo dramatic farce comedy, "Watch Him Step.’’ introduces some new methods of shortening our allot ed span of life. To dance around o? an eight-inch ledge at the top of a ten-story building can hardly be considere dhealthy, but to complain that the ledge is entirely too wide and too safe—that is making an advance engagement with the undertaker. And to be thrown bodil; a porch some fifteen feet high oy four young huskies to the cement walk below' might be the quickest, but by far not the safest, means of exit from a house. Or to dive bend first over a high hedge onto the pave- i J

ment might cause softening of. the brain. And to remain in. a car while it bouncing <md rolling} down the side of a hill, making four complete (turns before hitting a tree at ihe bottom, well—we would say that is sure death. But Dick does all the. e things and more, too, in his latest thriller.
