Boy's Cinema (1930-31)

Every Tuesday "That'^ all right, Miss Dorothy," Buck told her, and was turning away uhen Flash confronted him. " Regular old-fashioned rumpus. Buck, huh?" he declaretl. "Gee, I'd like to have been here sooner." Buck smiled and took hold of him by the shoulders. "Pardner," he said, "I reckon I've got news for you. We're both going to head for Montana." "Both?" Flash echoed. "Yep," was the rejoinder. "I made up my mind as I was comin' along by Red Canyon. But of course, I had to stop Currier's game firet." * Flash clapped him on the back. "You're trailin' along with me!" he shouted.- "Gee, that's great! Come on, we'll get goin' and leave the boys to collect this garbage "—with a ges- ture that encompassed Currier and his gang. Buck started for the door, but before ho could reach it someone tugged at his sleeve, and as he paused \\<^ realised it was Dorothy. "Buck," she appealed, "Buck, why are you going away?" "Well," he said, "I figiu'cd I'd let you see as how I didn't want to hang on here, like I was hopiri' you wouldn't be able to last the five years, in accoixl- ance with your dad's will. I hope you .settle down here. Miss Dorothy, and get to like the Lazy B, so's you'll never aim to leave it at all." "But Buck " She looked up at him, and (hen coloured swiftly. "Buck," she added in a voice that he alone could hear, " I—I can't stay here— vvithout you. If you go—I'll have to lo.se the inheritance." Buck gaze<l at her incredulously for a moment, and then, taking lier in his arms, iic spoke to Flash. "I sure am sorry, pardner," he told the youngster, "but you'll have to make that trip to Montana alone." Flash grinned. "f?ure. Buck," he stated, "I under- stand. I'm sorry I can't be your best man, but I've gotta be hittin' the trail. Adios, companoro. ■' And with the words he stepped into the night. From the doorway. Buck and Dorothy watched him moimt his pinto and ride away till the night swallowed him. He had learned his lesson and was heading for a new life, wherein men like Currier would play no part.

Then, maybe, I don't earn enough to eat for a couple of days, and the following day I am made a chef on a motion picture liner where every con- ceivable delicacy comes under my super- vision. Yes, the hard life of an extra has its compensations." Stories for Tom Mix. Preparations were recently completed for two of the six super Western pro- ductions which Tom Mis is to make on his return to the screen under Universal. The first two stories are "Destry Rides Again " and "Christmas Eve at Pilot Butte," both by well-known American authors, though it is certain that the titles will be changed. Tom Mix, who not long ago finishod his engagement with Sells-Floto Circus, is in Universal City with his horses «nd equipment, and has already started pro- duction on the first of the two stories chosen for hi:n. An Eskimo Picture. Ewing Scott, a film director, and Roy Klaffki, n. cameraman, will bo able to give civilisation a picture of what life is like in the far north. For nine months these two endured terrible, liardsliips while living* among lliG Eskimos and filming their ways. After being'given up as lost by those who had sent out the expedition they wore eventually found marooned on Icy Cape, where they had been for more ttian thirty days. Their rescue was due to the chance arrival of a whaling ship. Stars' Lucky Escapes. While acting the other wee!; for a new Western picture. Buck .Tones wa.s unabie to dodge quickly enough out of (ho way when a chair was thrown at him. Result—two broken ribs and a badly injured back. This is what the stars have to pay for our entertainment, and it is marvellous how they manage to escape worse consequences. Bill Boyd was nearly killed not very long ago. He was on location in Arizona wiien an explosion sent a big rock hurtling in his direction. It missed him by only a few feet. Though Paul Page was not acting at; the time he had his lucky escape, ho was on his way to the studio to do his part in "Palmy Days." His car over, turned, and it was thought certain ak first that he had been killed. As it was he was badly injured, his noso and leg being broken and his head and face ter- ribly cut. Thanks to skilful surgery, however, Paul Pago will be able to return to the screen later on. It was while filming the submarine scene in " The Seas Beneath " that disaster very nearly overtook several members of the company. The U.S. naval submarine V-4, the largest in the world, was being used in the role of a German U-boat. Henry Victor's part as the commander was being doubled by Lieutenant-Commander Quigley, of the U.S. Xavy, and his vessel had to keep a secret appointment in enemy waters with a lighter carrying oil fuel. On board the lighter itself was John Ford, the director of the film, John Loder, Marion Lessing, and cameraman. The V-4 disappeared and canieranicn on the lighter got ready to film it as (ho submarine came to the top. Then camo the terrifying discovery that the lighter, failing to answer its rudder, had drifted on to the .«pot where the submarine was expected to rise. Slowly the 207 ft. deck of the V-4 could now be seen rising from below. Those on the lighter immediately above it wore in a helpless position. Then, as- the periscope and next the conning tower broke the surface of the water, a shout of horror went up from the King- fisher, an auxiliary ship standing by. A second or two later. Commander Quigley was able to sec that the V-4 was only two feet away from the keel of the lighter. Instant orders were given, and the rise of the submarine checked and its course altered. But for the director and the others, it was touch and go. BE TALL Yonr Hctght Increased In 14 days, or mooe; backt Amazlna Course. 5'-. Send STAMP NOW for Free Book -STEBBINQ SYSTEM, 28. Dean Road.
