Sheehan, Fox general manager,
has just proven he was there by
not letting two assistant directors
put it over on him.
It's generally considered out in
Hollywood that if assistant

pictures. can't phaze you, you're
there" Far from being flustered
by a. pair of such, King neatly
put the laugh on them.
They were Lefty" Haough and
Eddie O'Fearna, former assistants
to- John Ford. now assigned to
handle King in his first Western.
In order to test out King, this
hard-bitten pair outlined to him
an imaginary opening for the
picture with formidable stunt.
They told King the picture
would start with long shot
revealing flock Of box cars
humping across village street
at an intersection. On the far
side Of the train Kings horse
would be standing saddled.
The willy pair, hiding their
grins, told King that he would
