| Description: | Silent screen star William S. Hart (William Surrey Hart) continues talking to the camera while standing on dusty trail, Horseshoe Ranch, Newhall, California: "My friends, I love the art of making motion pictures. It is as the breath of life to me. But through those hazards, these feats of horsemanship that I loved to do so well for you, I received many major injuries. That, coupled with the added years of life preclude my again doing those things that I so gloried in doing." "Give old Fritz a pat on those nose for me, will you? The thrill of it all!" Old Bill arguably loses it here, aggrandizing and waxing a strange haunting poetic: "A Pinto pony w/ an empty saddle... can't you see, boss, can't you see that the saddle it empty? The boys up ahead are calling. They're waiting for you and me to help drive this last great roundup into eternity. Adios, amigos. God bless you all, each and every one." | |
