Sandstone chimneys of Coal Canyon, Arizona, form the labyrinth hideaway of Billy the Kid, desperado of the lo^O's. Actual locale of "The Outlaw." Photos by Ira Hoke. KiftNHl Sheriff Pat Garrett ami his posse follow a Crow Indian tracker to tbe lair of Billy the Kid. Picture shot from great height. An idea of the immensity of these nature formed monuments may be gained by comparison with the horses and their riders in lower pari of picture. huqhts fii\ds NEW Jack Beutel, 21, of Dallas, Texas and Jane Russell, 19. of Van Nuys, California, are the screen's newest stars, discovered by Howard Hughes, who brought to motion pictures Jean Harlow and Paul Muni. In Hughes' production, "The Outlaw," Jack makes his screen debut as Billy the Kid, with Jane as his quick-tempered sweetheart. Rio. Neither Jane nor Jack has ever been in motion pictures before. Jane graduated from Van Nuys High School a little more than a year ago, and sought some kind of work which would help her to support her widowed mother and four brothers. Between herself and her mother, Jane managed to earn enough as a photographer's model to take a dramatics course. Modelling, however, proved a precarious calling, so Jane accepted a job as a $10 week receptionist, working afternoons, in a doctor's office. It was then that she got a chance to try for the leading feminine role in "The Outlaw," since Hughes was searching the nation for two completely new stars. Jack, meanwhile, was sleeping in an apartment with four other job-hunting youths, with a mattress on the floor as his boudoir. He had come to Hollywood from Dallas with the idea of crashing films, but had no success whatever until the Hughes talent search gave him the opportunity to shoot for stardom. Never before in Hollywood history have two newcomers been placed in the top roles of a picture costing more than a million dollars. In "The Outlaw" cast with Jane and Jack are Thomas Mitchell, Walter Huston and Mimi Aguglia. The picture is being released through Twentieth CenturyFox. RKO's "Parachute Battalion" Harry Carey, veteran character actor who has scored innumerable triumphs on the screen, has been signed by RKO Radio for a major role in "Parachute Battalion," which Producer Howard Benedict expects to send before cameras early next month. "Parachute Battalion." based on a screen play by John Twist and Capt. Hugh File. U. S. Air Corps, will be the first motion picture to chronicle the dare-devil lives led by members of the United States Army's newly-formed parachute troops. Leslie Goodwins, who will direct the new feature, is now en route to Fort Benning, Ca., with a technical crew to film backgrounds for the picture. J{
