A Horse Drama School.
A drama school for horses is run
by Charley Flores, once an extra in
films starring Tom Mix, Hoot Glib
son and William S. Hart. For "a
years now, Charley has been supply
ing studios with horses. He has
more than 100 horses trained for all
sorts of acts. They jump hayracks,
5l2 foot walls and lO-foot broad
jumps. One of Charley's horses
jumped through a window, over a
counter an dthrough back door in
one continuous action in Jesse
James" Flores has a horse which
laughs out loud and horse which
will lie down and allow dogs, cats,
over him at will. Horse extras do
not earn much-S5 a day. The av-
erage for a jumping horse is $50 a
day. But anything hazardous calls
for $3.50 a day. Flores says that a
good horse can understand simple
words when spoken in a calm, mod
crate voice.
When Dorothy Lamour was max

you will soon see why it was her
last-she was suddenly attacked by
the gorilla she usually worked with.
He was just about 8 years old, the
beginning of a dangerous age for
gorillas. He threw the terrified
Dotty to the ground, but before he
could do any damage, Robert Pres
ton, Dotty's co-star, and private life
boxer. knocked the beast cold with
one punch!

 WAR MADE
Doughboys Initial Thrust Takes Germans by
 Complete Surprise
By EDWARD BELL

WITH U. s. THIRD ARMY ACROSS THE RHINE, March 24-- The Third Army rapidly expanded it's Rhine bridgehead which was es- tablished yesterday after crossing the stream in one of the boldest strokes of the European war.
 Patton's troops continued to pour across the river, steadily strengthen ing the force on the eastern shore. Opposition remained light, but a news blackout prevented correspond ents reporting additional informa- tion.
 We were permitted to say the Germans, who were utterly surprised by the doughboys initial thrust, re- acted late yesterday with one small counterattack that was repulsed and another that was smeared easily last night.
 A record bag of prisoners yester- day totalled II ,699, processed through cages, and an estimated 5000 addi- tional prisoners taken during the day.

WASHINGTON = British Ambas- sador Lord Halifax held an off-the- record session with 75 Republican Congressmen the other night ana was so well liked that for the first time in several years no one walked cut of the meeting. Even when the late Wendell Willkie addressed this group two years ago, there were frequent excursions to the hotel bar. Halifax came to the Hotel Con- tinental to tell the "78-79 Club (first and second term COP Con- gressrnen) about the British Par liament. And the Congressmen sat engrossed as this representative of the British aristocracy and former Viceroy of India told them that England has more of a democrac than the United States.

 PARIS, March 24--The powerful United States Third Army assault waves crossed the Rhine Thursday night without firing shot and late last night had established solid bridgehead on the short road to Berlin.
 The enemy was so startled by this swift assault coming hot on the heels of Lt Gen. George s. Pat tons tremendous victory west of tl,e Rhine that not single heavy shell was fired until two hours after the first troops touched the east bank in the moonlight. This dazzling coup is comparable to the United States First Army victory in seizing the bridgehead at Remagen.
 N ts. ~ si.
 Airborne Troops Land American and British assault forces crossed the lower Rhine on a broad front today, and fought swiftly into the cities of Wesel and Itees, while thousands of airborne troops dropped onto the north German plain, above the Ruhr in a bold bid for victory this spring.
 The Ruhr is now caught in wise, between Field Marshal Mont eomerys Twenty-First Army group and the American First Army's swiftly expanding Remagen bridge head less than a dozen miles south of the great industrial basin.
 Farther to the south, It. Gen. Pattons Third Army secured their bridgehead on the upper Rhine and debouched into the flat country leading 302 miles to the Russian armies on the Oder.

 Troops captured Bislich on the east side of the river, as 10000 to 50,000 parachute troops of It. Gen. Lewis H. Brereton's Allied First Airborne Army floated to earth be- hind German lines, in this third and perhaps decisive crossing. Premier Winston Churchill, who was at Montgomery's Headquarters when the offensive was launched, declared "one river line has been pierced and the crust of German resistance broken. A decisive victory in Europe is near"
