Buck is one actor in Wild West films who is really at home with horses. No wonder that his little daughter already shows such good horsemanship. I said as much to Buck himself, but he laughingly denied responsibility for the whole of her prowess.

He shrugged his shoulders.
" A new adventure," he said. " It was after the Great War that I had my first offer of a starring contract. Before that I'd put in some work as an extra, when I was at a loose end for something to do.
