Gets A Kick Out
OF Milking Cow

John Garfield recently learned
about milking a COW from expert
ence, and got big kick out of it.
It happened on the barnyard
setting where Garfield was doing
scenes for his Warner Bros. film,
Dust Be My Destiny" which is
now playing at the Blue Mouse
theater. The star was handed a
tin milk bucket and little wooden
stool. Then he was led to a shed
where seven cows were lined up
in stalls, placidly munching al
falfa.
you take the one on this end"
Director Lewis Seller told him.
You can just pretend to milk"
Don't worry" said Garfield.
That's all III be able to do.
Where do you want me?"
ION the left side said Seller.
"Okay, we're rolling"
Moo" said the COW. Take it
easy" implored Garfield, but the
cow apparently didn't understand.
She dashed out with a hind foot.
Garfield caught it in the ribs and
went down. 1t was a perfect drop
kick.
you got on the wrong side of
her" explained the owner Of the
cows. THE right side is the right
side for milking"
Yeah" grunted Garfield.
well, from now on, both sides are
the wrong side for me-"

'Gsbby' Steals
Scenes Galore

scene-stealing. the cause OF
many a Hollywood row, doesn't
bother the director OF animated
cartoons one bit, When one char
acter is caught swiping the lime
light from another. instead OF De-
ing chastised he is given a bigger
part than before!
This phenomenon was observed
in Max Fleischer's Miami STUDIOS
during the making of "Gulllvers
Travels" the full-length Techni-
color cartoon, which Paramount Is
currently presenting at the Ratio
theater.
AL the attention of studio Of
ficials was being focused on the
main characters of the thinking
Little, CULVER, King Bombo, Prin-
cess Glory and Prince David
when suddenly, Dave F1eischer,
director of the picture, discovered
that an unheralded little caricature
was becoming the standout actor
in the picture. This little chap
was Gabby. the town crier.
Fleischer didn't have to chop Cab
by's role. Instead, he tossed more
and more to the chap.
Gabby is a pompous little OPP
portunist who tries to twist every
situation to his own advantage.
Naturally, he takes a lot of falls,
but after each fall he bounces back
unconcernedly and goes blithely
ahead.

Mack Brown, starred in the thrill
Western. Branded Coward"
which is now at the Shell theater,
to handcuff more than one cap
tured bandit, as becomes his char
acterization of the marshal of a
tough border town.
One of these pseudo law-break-
ers got more than he bargained
for in the line of letters, so to
speak, when the sequence in which
he figured was finished. For when
1t was time to release the prisoner
the keys of the cuffs were missing.
Johnny Mack Brown couldn't find
them, nor could anybody else.
Director Sam Newfield was too
busy to bother his head about such
trivial matter. and over an hour
elapsed before the outlaws" serv-
ices were needed again.
Consequently he sat or strolled
around disconsolately. a subject
for Jocund jeers and jibes by his
more fortunate comrades, who ex-
pressed ironical sympathy with
him on the heat of the day, and
the tight fit of the cuffs. just
when the sufferer was beginning
to yell for a file to remove the
bracelets, the missing key was dis
covered in the prop mans pocket
where 1t had been all the time.

Ely not only scored more times from
