Walter Brennan, Pat Wayne and John Wayne have a chat during a break from filming “Rio Bravo” (‘59 Warner Bros.).

Walter Brennan, Pat Wayne and John Wayne have a chat during a break from filming “Rio Bravo” (‘59 Warner Bros.).

This August 24, 1928, photo of cabaret comedian Will Morrissey and his wife actress Midgie Miller was taken shortly after the couple mixed with Tom Mix during the housewarming party given by actor George Beban. Morrissey said Tom’s horse Tony had a great future in the talkies. He said, “The horse could at least snort, but what could Tom do?” The comedian told police officers he offered to shake hands with Mix when the party broke up but Mix struck him on the jaw instead. Morrissey stated, “I knocked him down twice then the rug slipped from under me. I fell backward and those high heels of Tom’s boots thumped my head like a drum but I got a break—Tony wasn’t there.” Mrs. Morrissey stated her husband was knocked down and Mix “was kicking him horribly. I tried to come to Will’s aid but Mix cracked me in the eye.” Mix said the comedian had been abusive all evening and when the party broke up Morrissey followed him to the door and “swung on me a few times.” Mix said he pushed the comedian away but when Morrissey continued following him and calling insults, he turned and knocked his pursurer down. “Some woman grabbed me but I just shook her off,” Mix said. “I certainly didn’t kick anyone and I didn’t strike any woman.” Mix figured Mrs. Morrissey was probably struck by one of her husband’s wild swings. The Morrisseys were arrested and released on $20 bail each. Apparently Morrissey’s wise cracking was involved in at least two other L.A. court sessions, one bringing a contempt charge for the actor.

Actor Don Murray and Hollywood’s leading technical expert on weapons, Rodd Redwing, work on a scene for “From Hell to Texas” (‘58). In the movie Rodd fired live ammo from a .30 caliber M1 into a watering trough behind which Murray was hiding. Midway through the trough Rodd had placed a steel plate to stop the bullets. The holes and spurs of water that resulted made the scene very realistic. Then as Murray ran from behind the trough Rodd expertly followed him with a barrage that kicked up dust just inches from Murray’s heels.
