Chas. Bickford Saves Trainer Murphy s Life Filming ' East of Java"
CHARLES B. MURPHY, veteran animal trainer and keeper of the Universal City Zoo, was saved from serious injury and possible death today by Charles Bickford, red-headed heman of the films, when he was attacked by a leopard. The accident occurred during the filming of the motion picture, "East of Java" starring Bickford, on the back ranch at Universal City.
Murphy was putting the animals through their paces on an improvised ship when one of the beasts leaped from the ship into a temporary arena. While Elizabeth Young, Leslie Fenton, Clarence Muse and other members of the cast looked on with horror, Murphy advanced on him and sought to drive him into what is called a "shifting crate" for return to the deck of the vessel.
The animal, instead of backing into the cage, sprang at Murphy and grabbed his arm. The fact that Murphy had wrapped both his arms with heavy cloth saved him. He fought free of the animal, which was about to spring again when Bickford leaped from the boat, armed with a pitchfork, and held the desperate animal at bay while Murphy equipped himself with another fork. Both men, using forks, drove the animal into the crate.
Bickford, Murphy, and George Melford, the director, worked together in the filming of "East of Borneo," some years ago. It was experience on this film which led Bickford to know what to do and to act quickly. Murphy's only injury was a long gash on his arm, caused by the leopard on the first leap.
