For the cinema he has done his triple somersault several times: once in Variety, filmed in Berlin's Winter Garden six years ago; once in Polly of the Circus (when he wore...

They ran into more of the bad luck that always seems to follow Argentine poloists in the U. S. when their No. 1, Alfredo Harrington, fell at a polo pony show and tore his leg muscles.
