Luckily, not many people got wise and the company made their shots at El Rancho in comparatively quiet confusion. The onlookers were rewarded at eleven o'clock when the company moved to Second and Fremont Streets for some preliminary shots of Roy and Dale on horseback, Gabby in a horse-drawn carriage, and the Sons of the Pioneers playing and singing on a large float while concealed cameras in a covered wagon filmed the action. At two-thirty loudspeakers began explaining to the crowds that a picture was being shot, as if they didn't know, and warning them not to run out in the street or make any noise when the movie company approached. Producer Eddie White, director Frank McDonald, and the crew waited with their jitters showing and hoped for the impossible — a perfect take. They didn't get it. The parade started, with Trigger doing his smartest dancing, stepping, and bowing. The sun, which had been playing hide and seek all day, coyly slid behind a cloud — and stayed until the parade was over. The crew almost wept but went right on shooting in flat light. They had to. Then came the spot where the parade halted for dialogue between Roy, Dale, and Gabby. Everything was fine until a camera motor failed. By one chance in a million there was another camera motor in the truck, left there by mistake. The sweatin crew changed motors and tragedy was averted. As shooting was resumed a little boy"" ran out, autograph book extended, tugged at Roy's boot and in a piping voice yelled, "Kin I have yer autograph, Roy, huh?" A quick-thinking policeman grabbed him by the seat of his pants and yanked him out of camera range. To end on a happy note, the cameras ran out of film and they didn't get the end of the parade. After the nightmare was over, Roy and Dale were rushed to El Cortez Hotel for a persona] appearance, rushed back to the Last Frontier to change clothes, and rushed to a large dinner party there. When real night life was beginning, they were rushed to their rooms to rush through a little sleep before the next day's five o'clock call. On Friday the Treasure Hunt, starting at El Rancho Vegas, was filmed until noon — in a bad dust storm, with two hundred local mounted riders who were extras in the picture, kicking up a little dust themselves. At noon Dale left by chartered plane for the Jimmy Durante broadcast in Hollywood. Roy worked until four o'clock, tore madly into town for the Duffy's Tavern broadcast which Ed Gardner was doing specially in Las Vegas. Then Roy made a personal appearance after the Children's Parade, did a repeat of the Duffy's show, appeared at a Western Airlines party, finally had dinner, and fell into bed. Dale flew back that night in time to fall into bed for her five o'clock call the next morning. The location Saturday was at Boulder Dam, which sounds like fun. But the SCREENLAND scene to be shot was filmed back of the dam where there's nothing but rocks, dust, and heat. The cameras and crews were hauled up on either side of the road by ropes and the men perched there precariously all morning, dodging rocks rolling down from above. They waited for the sun to come out. And waited. And waited. Meanwhile there was the heat and no way to get out of it. There was no room for a tent or shelter of any kind. Back ★ * * * ★ * ★ * * * Dale was trying to get some rest in the back seat of a car when the brakes gave way and she started rolling toward the brink of the canyon. A member of the crew grabbed the brake just in time to save the heroine. It was Western stuff at its most realistic. It reminded Dale of last year when as Queen of Helldorado she was standing under a balcony at Helldorado Village which collapsed from the weight of the people on it. She and the crowd were saved by a bank of slot machines under the balcony which broke the fall. It's the only time in history when the slot machines really paid off. The same day Dale was riding in a serpentine parade at the rodeo grounds when a wild mustang broke out of the pens and headed right for her. Dale managed to turn her horse out of the line just as the mustang galloped through the gap. The one time the cast and crew were able to relax was Saturday night at Roy's ranch. Roy has just bought 600 acres outside Las Vegas which he intends to turn into a dude ranch. At present it has three small houses, an artesian well which pumps a million gallons of water every day, and a huge swimming pool which is fed by a warm mineral spring. The place is Roy's pride and joy. The former owners, who have stayed on to manage the ranch, whipped up an outdoor barbecue of chicken, spare ribs, ham, prime ribs and all the fixin's. Roy and the Sons of the Pioneers gave out with some impromptu entertainment. The combination of the good food, the balmy night, and a swim in the pool made up for all the hard work and heartbreaks of the three days' shooting.
