...smile or describe dimensions with a move of his hand. Since he provided the driving force behind One-Eyed Jacks, of which he was both star and director in 1961, Brando has essayed a series of character roles in a succession of failures: a brooding cowpoke in The Appaloosa, a self-righteous sheriff in The Chase, a cagey con-man in Bedtime Story. Once again in a film good enough to match his talents, he demonstrates conclusively in Night that his powers remain undiminished by intervening years of sloppiness and self-indulgence. It is good to have him back...
...Science, Music and Art Organizations), which raised $162,000 at its auction last year, had no trouble disposing of 50 tons of orange-grove fertilizer and a $2,500 orange-grove sprayer. And in Phoenix this year, such items as hernia and cataract operations, stud service by a registered Appaloosa stallion, and an old covered wagon (donated by Barry Goldwater) brought in $246,000 to COMPAS (Combined Metropolitan Phoenix Arts...

The American quarter horse, still the nation's most popular breed, expects to top half a million this year...
...horses, get up early to feed and water them. And, whereas boys often buck at mucking out stalls, notes Mrs. Carol Meyer, "the girls don't argue about it, they love the horses so." The same was true of Cindy McAfee in Louisville; her parents bought her an Appaloosa, Tonka, for her 14th birthday and were delighted when she took over all the chores. "It's wonderful for a girl of her age," says Mrs. McAfee. "I'd much rather have her horse-crazy than boy-crazy at this...
Brando's prime Appaloosa stallion obviously means more to him than any team of Hollywood scriptwriters ever imagined. In a role that a lesser actor might easily saunter through, Brando handicaps himself with a fiercely concentrated acting style more suitable for great occasions. He seems determined to play not just a man but a whole concept of humanity, and Saxon's brazen theft of the hoss soon looms as a cause equal in significance to the Magna Carta or the Declaration of Human Rights. Though Saxon ropes Brando, drags him through a stream, and presses his forearm onto...
