The Halls of Brentwood: The phone rang. It was Frances Langford. "Just back from Alaska," she said. "Come on down." In thirty minutes flat we were walking up the driveway to the spacious, lovely Brentwood home shared by Frances and her husband, Jon Hall. Spellbound, we listened for three hours to the adventures of Fiances, Bob Hope and Jerry Colonna in Alaska and the Aleutian Islands. What a story! And how near death came this band of minstrels as they flew through the fogs and storms of the Northland!
Frances paused suddenly in the midst of a story to listen. "Johnny's coming home," she said. "I can hear the put-put of his motorcycle."
A minute later tall, handsome Jon breezed in from his day's stint in the picture, "White Savage," at Universal Studios. After a bit of baiting on our part, Jon regaled us with stories of his reported feud with Maria Montez. his sparring partner in the picture. In no time at all Frances and Cal were in hysterics at Jon's drollery and the unbelievable antics of la Montez, who that day had chosen to upset Sabu out of his Indian calm.
Jon told us that for one scene he wore heavy chains which he had to drag up and down a pair of stairs

"Photographic mind, eh?" came back Jon. "Well, if you ask me, it's been overexposed."
The ensuing fireworks were magnificent. We chuckled about them all the way home.
A Man's Gratitude: On a tour of Universal Studios in search of news for our readers, we happened, deep on the back lot, to witness an odd scene. Lon Chaney Jr. was affectionately rubbing the head of a rather weatherbeaten horse and muttering all sorts of complimentary phrases. We must have looked quizzical, for Lon explained that this horse deserved praise: that because it had remained absolutely still in a moment of crisis, he had not been deprived of one leg and Madame Ouspenskaya had not had both legs amputated.
It seems the pair were riding in a heavy iron cart through a wooded path on the set of "Frankenstein Meets The Wolf Man," when suddenly the cart overturned, pinning them both underneath. Had the horse bolted, the accident would have had unthinkable consequences. Instead, he had stood still midst the cries and confusion until Lon and Madame could be extracted. Madame's leg was fractured. Lon suffered severe cuts.
"He may not be a thoroughbred," the actor said, patting the horse again, "but he displayed thoroughbred qual
