Makes It
On Time
BOONE, N. C. A director
can fire an actor who doesn’t
show up for a performance, but
what’s he going to do when a
horse doesn't make it to the
theatre on time?
When old Polly, the “Horn In
The West horse,” disappeared
one night last week, there was
more panic backstage at the out
door drama than if one of the
leading actors had broken a leg.
They have understudies ready to
fill their roles, but Polly doesn’t.
Thanks to a passing truck dri
ver, however, Polly faced the
footlights on schedule.
The nine-year-old farm horse,
who has been in the Kermit
Hunter outdoor drama for the
past four years, is kept on the
theatre grounds during the sum
mer months. But just after in
termission last night, she broke
her tether and headed for her
winter home some four miles
away.
The truck driver spotted Polly
about a mile from the theatre
and postponed his haul long
enough to lead the horse to a
near-by motel.
Polly, a paint with one brown
and one blue eye, was easily
identified by the motel owner,
Carl Fiddler. He had the mare
returned to the Daniel Boone
Theatre with three minutes
to spare. Then Polly pulled her
wagon across center stage in
the Horn’s exodus scene as if
nothing had happened.
