United States are soon expected to
relieve that situation.

She Said She Could Ride a Little


FRITZ Ridgeway, who sup
ports Roy Stewart in his latest
Triangle picture, ''The Learnin'
of Jim Betnon," at the Nogales
Theatre today, sprang a big sur
prise on Director Cliff Smith and
the rest of the company when
they were filming the picture.
When first cast with Stewart
she was asked if she could ride
and replied, "a little" Although
it is a western drama, Director
Smith declared she would not
need to be very good rider, as
she was supposed to be a school
marin from the east, but that
she would have to be on horse
back a great deal.
Then came the surprise.
FRITZ was given a broncho and
mounted it on the run. During
the entire picture her horseman-
ship won the approval of even
the cowboys and then she let
them in on the secret. FRITZ
spent many of her early years in
Montana and used to ride horse
back to the nearest school.
