tossed himself through q barn.
Molina is called the Charlie1 y
Chaplin of Spain. Weary Of the :
brutality Of the ancient sport, he
buriesqued the game with his
antics in the pit and became, a ma 4,
tional idol as a comedian.
Carl Laemmle, hired Mr.. Molina {
and his three bulls collectively and
sent them to Universal City where
he is now filming the Castilian
sport from the comedy angle ,
But to get back to the bull.
You will recall that Mr. Molina 4
stepped aside just to avoid being
the spot which would be marked

continued. He snorted, paved, bel.
lowed and waved the name and
tail in the approved fashion. Then =
he entered the barn through the
side wall and left space similar
to the centrifugal aperature Of q
doughnut. .....
Gil Pratt. directing the toreador
and the bull, peered Into the hole
in an inquiring manner. Mr.. Pratt
understands just enough Spanish :
to get stabbed in Los Angeles but
didn't understand Mr.. Molina To
