"It's faster than a regular curve ball and it breaks down a bit differently.

Or on second and "The Furies" was no exception. During two weeks of strenous "shooting" on location at Tucson, Huston acted more like a lad of 15 than a grandfather of G5.

The distinguished Academy Award winner scorned the use of doubles and insisted on doing all the risky riding and roping stunts himself. His role was that of a hafd-fisted cattle baron, and here are some of the things the white-haired trouper did on location: Roped and bulldogged a bull; changed mounts while riding at a gallop; headed an actual roundup of 400 head of cattle; rescued a steer trapped in waist-deep mud; rode the range from 8 a.m. to' 6 p.m. for a solid week.

Arlene is 24, unmarried at this writing and began her theatrical career as a young comedy lead In a Broadway musical or two. She thinks she's a lucky girl, getting such roles as her current one in "Three Little Words," and her other most recent one, as a young widow in the Technicolor "The Outriders." "See this ring?" she said, holding out a slim hand adorned with an unusual ring of carved yellow gold, set with a huge uncut pearl, with a small ruby on either side. "I wouldn't make a picture without this ring I think it brings me good luck.

It was my grandmother's ring, handmade for her in Norway. When my mother died in 1943, she gave the ring to me. "When I was in 'The Outriders' the ring was something of a problem. As a new widow, in the era of the picture, around Civil War times, I couldn't wear my jewelry. Even a widow's wedding band at that time was supposed to be wound with black tape.

I finally solved the problem by wearing my pearl ring on a thin gold chain around my neck, where it was Inconspicuous." WTiether it's due to the ring or her own talents, Arlene Dahl has come a long way since she wowed the relatives at five, back in Minnesota, with her lisp-singing of "Moo, Cow, Moo" and "Alice Blue Gown."
