Quite a few were once studio owned, bought for pictures an’ later sold to the ridin’ schools an’ acade- mies. One day, not so long ago, me an’ Tony saw a man an’ woman a-urgin’ their horses in different di- rections, but not gettin’ very far. When we got closer, I saw the two horses had once been the leads on a stagecoach team I owned. I sold ‘em an’ later learned both were bein’ used as renters. It seems this was the first time the horses had met up since they had been separated, an’ you know how an old team will act when they get together again. The “nigh” horse had as its rider a Hollywood picture gent who has just married his fourth wife; the “off” horse of the team was bein’ ridden by an actress who has like- wise recently taken her third whack at matrimony. The picture gent on the “nigh” bay had been number two on the lady's weddin’-ring finger an’ she was number three on his’n. The couple parted about a year ago on what was said to be bad terms an’ I know there was a triflin’ dispute be- tween ‘em about some oversight on the gent’s part concernin’ alimony payments, What I’m a-tryin’ to ex- plain is that the lady an’ gent weren't on speakin’ terms. Anyway, they met at the end of one of the bridle paths near the Beverly Hills Hotel. The lady sniffed an’ started toward Hollywood; he struck out for Santa Monica, which is in the opposite direction. Each wanted to go the other way, but this just-re- united team was a-aimin’ to stay to- gether. Neither rider was a good enough horseman to separate ’em. How it would finally have come out I don’t know, but just at this moment the rentin’ hour was up an’ both horses, side by side an’ each in his proper “off” an’ “nigh’’ place, started for the barn. Unable to get em apart or change their course on the way in, the riders passed a lot of friends, who looked at ‘em, amazed-like, an’ bowed. That night at a bridge party, where I was dragged, two different women said to me: “What do you think? To-day on the bridle path I saw John Smith’—which ain't the right name — “‘a-ridin’ with Jane Jones” — name likewise misrepre- sented — “‘an’ they were close to- gether, side by side, both smilin’ an’ talkin’ to beat the band. Now | suppose they'll get new divorces an’ remarry—won't that be romantic?” By next day it was all over Holly- wood an’ newspapers told of the reconciliation. As I said, I’m glad horseback rid- in’ is in style again. We've had some famous riders in history, although times have changed a heap since then. If Paul Revere went around hallooin’ Beverly Hills an’ Holly- wood folks up at night, they’d prob- ably think it was John Gilbert, an’ want him locked up again for dis: turbin’ the peace.
