empire, resolved to improve the breed
Of horses and so obtained fine white
Arabians which were crossed with
the sturdy Andalusian Mountain
horses Of Spain. The resulting strain
was called Lipizzan-because it was
first bred in the town OF Lipizza.
Sheehan imported two mares and
since then has bred two colts. The
colts are born black, gradually turn
gray and silver, and, when they are
4 years old, turn snow white.
The horses respond to training
more quickly than any other breed,
says Jack Doyle, who trained horses
for years for circuses The Spanish
riding school in Vienna trained the
horses and sent them and their royal
riders to the capitals of Europe to
display their training in a lavish
ballet.
Florian, with his head held as high
as any of his forebears, has learned
in a year the tricks and steps an
earlier Florian spent four years
learning. Trainer Doyle is willing
to bet his salary that Florian will be
star, but can find no takers. Folks
compliment him on his patience and
ability to teach the horse the Span
ish school routine in so short time.

If Rule Holds

Florian Is the Name
And He Has a Lead
In First Film
BY the Associated Press.

by the Associated freSS.
HOLLYWOOD.
All the Hollywood rule books say
that If an actor with personality is
put in a starring role he will become
star. Florian, it is reasonably safe
to predict, will be no exception to the
rule.
Florian is a horse, and it's about
time, anyway, for another animal
star. He is the counterpart in ap-
pearance and ancestry of the Florian
whose history was recounted in the
book Felix Salten wrote about the
Lipizzan horses of imperial Austria.
This Florian name is no coincidence;
1t was given to him when he was
cast in "Florian," which is based on
Salten's story.
The movie tells the rise and fall
of the Austrian Empire from, you
might say, the standpoint of a horse.
At least, he is the central figure and,
as much as the human characters, a
victim of the cataclysm of the World
War and its aftermath.
How the story got to be movie is
interesting. Maria Jeritza, the singer,
who is the wife of the producer, VIM
field Sheehan, had two of these
horses on the Sheehan ranch. They
are said to be the first two Lipizzan
horses to reach this country. They
were a gift to Mrs. Sheehan.
She was telling her husband about
their background of 400 years of
breeding at the imperial farms at
Lipizza, why they were bred and
what eventually happened to them.
He wanted to know more and she
handed him copy of Salten's book.
-Four hundred years ago, Salten re-
lated, cavalry was the greatest
weapon in warfare. Austria was
powerful nation, but subject to at
tack by Germany and other coun-
tries. The Hapsburgs, ruling the

about disconcertingly. One minute
she'll be talking about her favorite
sports, swimming and horseback rid
ing, and how she played badminton
wrong for weeks until someone told
her the bird" was supposed to be
knocked over, not under, the net.
Then she'll tell about going ice
skating the other day-"The only
way could go around the rink was
by grabbing onto the rail"
Skating brings up the subject of
a sports outfit which was SO abbre-
waited a friend told her she couldn t
possibly use it.
This leads to the subject of legs.
Ann modestly denies hers are as
beautiful as those of Vera Zorina,
the dancer, despite assurances from
one who has made study of both,
or rather of all four.
Ann is rehearsing for And 1t All
Came True" in which she will
dance, sing two new songs and ro-
nance with Jeffrey Lynn. Lynn is

sarily her favorite screen lover, she
