"I was in France when the German Ger-man guns were throwing shells so close we had to quit taking pictures." she said, "and I know Just exactly what I did at that time. But as a matter of cold fact, I neer fired a revolver in my life. I did shoot a shotgun belonging to my cousin and jit gave me th' nose bleed and bruised my cheek " So Director Clifton decided that j the brick wall in the back of the , studio should be set aside for purposes i of target practice. "I didn't start out. to double for .William Tell." said Dorothy, "so you'll I have to make different arrangements . And in addition to that. 1 don't want to read any newspaper notice about , me br ing the greatest revolver shot n motion pictures I have n few friends whose respect and confidence 1 want to keep. They will think Just as much of me If thev know I can't shoot as they would if you told 'em I I could drive nails with bullets." |
