Good heavens! Would they

He was glad when the porter,

wanted to question Peace, but not

about?
They retired early. Denny

OF course, Miss Leigh proved her
ability as actress in &C. w. T..

further versatility in a role as diff
ferent from Scarlet as day from
night. Her portrayal of a petite bal
let dancer who finds sudden ro-
nance and happiness in a whirl-
wind love affair with a young officer
whom she meets during an air raid
on historic Waterloo Bridge, is play
ed with force and yet with a becom-
ing restraint and quiet charm.
Taylor has some surprises for his
innumerable fans too, in the finest
role of his career. He is first seen as
a forty-eight year-old Colonel in
London of 1910 and then as young
captain of 1917 when he meets the
only girl in his life.
The story has been made vitality
timely, with its opening scene in the

its blackouts and bomb-proof shell

Here's One Horse Opera That's Stuffed
With HOrSe-Play You Won't See In Movie
BY PAUL HARRISON

Hollywood.-Three Of the Dalton
brothers (Broderick Crawford, Brian
Donlevy, and Andy Deyine) had gone
into a crowded courtroom and with
blazing guns had rescued Stuart
Erwin, who was on trial for one of
the murders he didn't commit.
Now, as the one-family gang
emerged from the building, shouts
and shots rang behind them and
somebody up the street began to
pot at the fugitives. Death or es-
cape would be matter of only few
seconds. The men dashed for their
horses. But Donlevy didn't mount
his horse, He stopped and stood
red-faced and speechless. Leaning
against the saddle on his docile nag
was a ladder, and the other Daltons
were standing there to help him
climb it.
That joke on Donlevy is a sam
pie of the monkey business to be
witnessed almost any day on Uni
versal's western street. I've never
seen a production that offered more
contrast in mood between set and
screen. On film, when the Dali
tons Rode" will be a thrill-packed
western with no more time for COM
edy than for biographical accuracy.
The cast is having its laughs in adj
vance,. Even the title, which implies
a certain amount Of equestrian abil-
ity, sounds funny to the actors.
TRUSTS HORSES. BUT
NOT BROTHERS"
Donlevy swears that until this pic
ture started he never even had
thrown leg over a merry go-round
charger. His movie brothers are al
most equally inept. They took turns
posing for pictures of the ladder nag,
and I saw Crawford spoil another
escape scene by trying to mount with
his right foot in the left stirrup.
The picture is only about half
completed, but Stu Erwin's role is
finished. In filming the Daltons'
holdup Of two Coffeyville banks, Err
win was required to dismount to
help wounded brother and himself
be shot down in the dusty street.
The other Daltons then would gallop

back to save him, but would flee
again Ito their own deaths in a
blind alley) when they found he was
dying.
Erwin complained bitterly about
having to lie there with so many
jittery horses dashing around him.
Gust because it's my last day on
the picture" he said, nobody cares
if I get trampled to DEATH"
Director George Marshall re-
minded him that a horse won't step
on a man. Erwin said: OF course
the horses know better, but I don't
trust Devine and Crawford and Dom
