Mack Sennett Cameramen Make Film of Parachute Jump from Blimp
Several thrilling scenes for the Mack Sennett picture Mollie-O were made by cameramen at the naval air station yesterday. The hero of the picture climbed on a swinging rope ladder from one blimp down to another one and then leaped from the second blimp in a parachute.
The episode was witnessed by a number of people who were at the ball game at Maxent yesterday, one of the blimps, the C-7, passing low over the field, just after the parachute jump was made. The ball game was pictured from the blimp.
It is understood that the completed film will receive its premiere at the naval air station here.
