COWBOY STAR OF THE MOVIES

WESTERN ADVENTURES

MEET TIM HOLT! Destined to be the biggest cowboy star of the movies,
Tim Holt has appeared in thirty-nine pictures, among them being Stage-
coach, Laddie, My Dailing Clementine. Under the Tonto Rim, Wild Horse
Mesa, Western Heritage, Treasure of the Sierra Madre, and The Arizona
Hanger. Right now, he is on location, shooting more exciting western ad-
venture thrillers.

Although Tim Holt was born in Hollywood, he is as much removed
from its night life and its glitter as if he resided on another planet. To RKO'
Radio's outdoor star, the film capital is just his workshop. His personal
life is lived away from the hectic whirl of the cinema city and, between films,
he tours the country with a rodeo of which" he is part owner.

Tim's vacations are always spent in the outdoors, fishing and hunting.
He lives on the ocean front near Malibu, where he swims daily and romps
with the Labrador retrievers that he raises. He has recently purchased a
handsome palomino horse, which he has named "Lightning." You'll be see-
ing him in the Tim Holt movies in your local theatres.

A SHORT. VIOLENT BATTLE AND TIM'S GUNS
LEAP WITH LIGHTNING-LIKE SPEED INTO HIS
HANDS AND THE FIGHT IS OVER !

IN THIS SCENE from the soon-to-be-released picture, Guns of Hate, Tim
Holt and his movie partner, Chito Jose Gonzalez Bustamonte Rafferty (in
real life, Richard Martin), come across the body of a murdered man on the
trail. From this point on, the action gets fast and furious!

Tim is no stranger to fast and furious action. He enlisted in the Army
Air Force on April 14, 1942, became a bombardier, and was retained as an
instructor until July 8, 1943, when he was ordered to the Marine Air
Corps training station at El Centre California. There he set up the high-level
bombardier training school for the Marine Corps. He was transferred to the
Bureau of Naval Aeronautics while the school was in operation and worked
for the Marine Corps and Navy until September 10, 1944.

His request for overseas service brought him over the oil fields of Japan
on May 10, 1945 as a bombardier in a B-29. Tim flew twenty-two missions
in the big ships, the last one on the day that the Japs surrendered. He was
aboard a badly shot-up plane when word of the surrender was flashed to the
world, and did not know whether or not they would get back to base.

Tim's ship finally made a crash landing on Guam, where investigation
revealed that five and a hall feet of the left wing had been shot away; there
were 175 bullet and flak holes in the fuselage!
