BRAVERY IN THE STUDIOS
Motion picture stars are always heroes on the screen. Just at the psychological moment they come into the action and rescue the girl in the cast from impending death. Although it is seldom that they are called upon to perform feats of this nature in real life, a motion picture actor in Hollywood recently became the hero of his fading lady with not a camera in sight. Between scenes, during the filming of Paramount’s all-talking Western Picture, “The Light of Western Stars,” Mary Brian, who plays the feminine lead, swung astride one of the horses and started for a canter. Suddenly the animal shifted his weight to both front feet and commenced to buck. Just as Miss Brian started to go up in the air, Richard Arlen rode up. flipped his arm around her waist and lifted her to safety. Arlen explained later that the horse in question was “Elevator,” the bucking bronco used in “The Virginian.” He had been standing by for a comedy Beene in the new picture.
