HOLLYWOOD, Jan. l0-Bing
Crosby, who is known as quite
a horseman in these parts, was
having horse trouble on the set
of Holiday Inn" He and every
body else. They had been haying
it all day.
1t looked like a simple shot.
Here it was spring in Connecti-
cut - Easter Sunday, in fact
and people were coming out of a
country church. Some of the
cuties looked like chorus girls
even if they. were carrying
Bibles, and some of the gents
looked like actors on parole from
Broadway. In general, though,
they looked acceptably like peo-
pie leaving country church in
the spring.
At this point the vigilant cam
era picked out Mr.. Crosby and
Marjorie Reynolds, the latter a
slim dish in yellow, and follow
ed them to and into buggy.
The horse wasn't tied to a hitch
ing post or anything and pre-
sumab,y had been content to
stand there all through the SER
vice, just shifting the apple
blossoms and listening to the
hymns.
From somewhere, perhaps
hidden in the choir loft, a 40
piece orchestra struck up Irv-
ing Berlin's Easter Parade"
The idea was for the camera to
move along with Bing and his
girl as they drove slowly past
the church and little way
down road while he sang a
chorus of the song.
BUGGY TROUBLE

the reins, the horse geed sharp

trees. The cramped wheels tip
