HORSE OPERA STAR

A slender, carrot topped young

dropped, landed on her knees and
took most of the skin off her legs.
It was very painful but she didn't
cry. She just looked at the horse
which had tossed her to the ground
and said, furiously, That is never
going to happen again" While
most children her age spent their
pennies and nickels on after
school candies and sodas, she saved
her money until once a week she'd
have enough to rent a horse for an
hours ride Pv the time she WaS
in junior high school, she could
handle anything on four legs.
In coileee. she studied to be a

entered her photograph in a beauty
contest Paramount studio was con-

brought to Hollywood. None of the
girls was given much to do. none
showed up very well and all were
ready to give up and go home. But
the studio needed a pretty girl to
play in westerns" with young
actor named Randolph Scott. An
assistant director asked the Is girls
If anyone could ride a horse. One
girl could. ANY horse ''ou've got"
she said. So because she knew how
to ride a horse. she didn't 60 home.

While the heavy bomber output

The slack, which permitted sharp
gains during 1912, has now been
taken up.
Cutbacks Cause Some Drops.
Poor performance of several
items Is traceable to prospective or
recent cutbacks in programs, and
TINS reacts against big month-to-
