HOLLYWOOD, Sept. Ia. CUPD-
Herbert Marshall, English actor is
taking a big raspberry for being
thrown by his mechanical horse
1t sounds more like a fish story
than fish story, but his pals say
it's true. and Marshall has a broken
head to show for the indoor rodec
stunt.
The actor is inclined to get a
little chuby if he isn't careful, but
he hates exertion, and when he
does any gymnasium stuff at all
Mikes his exercise canned or wrapped
IN celophane. Usually his idea of
good workout is a steam bath
and brisk rundown.
The Marshall waistline however,
refused to respond to that treat
ment, so he finally had room of
his house done over as a gymna-
SUM, and filled it with mechanical
exercising gadgets.
Among them was an electric horse,
such as former President Calvin
Coolidge used to gallop in the white
house.
Unfortunately it was the first
synthetic cayuse the installing cleo
trician had ever seen, and he got
his wires crossed.
Marshall climbed gingerly aboard
for his first ride and turned the
switch marked walk but instead
the automatic charger burst into
the equivalent of a bucking gallop.
AT the first hist of the steel and
leather hinder quarters, Marshall
flew over the horses head and
IEanded on his own on a tiled floor.
