| Description: | A GIFT FROM AMERICAN ARTISTS Sarah Churchill and Husband Vic Oliver Present Horse Drawn Ambulance to Britain London. VS of Vic Oliver (Comedian), Sarah Churchill (Daughter of the Prime Minister) and Claire Booth Luce (novelist and politician) standing beside a horse drawn ambulance unit presented to Britain by American stage and screen artists, good CUs. Vic Oliver and Sarah Churchill. Vic: "Claire, I think you say something about all this thing, what its for." Claire: "Well, I think the horse is sweet." Vic: "Ha,Ha, put the horse before the ambulance, eh." Claire: "Well, I'd rather be on the horse than be in the ambulance. Its a lovely ambulance, if you know what I mean." Vic: "Yes, I know what you mean. After all, a horse is a friend's best man...I mean, ah, I mean a man is a horse's best man..friend...ah, a horse of a different color..." Claire: "Sarah, I think Vic is getting a bit muddled. You'd better say something." Sarah: Yes, I think prehaps I'd better. The point of having an ambulance that can be drawn by a horse as well as a car is mostly for country villages where a garage may be far away, there may be a breakdown or shortage of petrol, in which case, it'll be easier to get a horse than a car." | |
