OUT THERE WHERE MEN ARE MEN.
From the dressing room the following morning, arrayed in the Buck Benson outfit, unworn since that eventful day on the Gashwiler lot, Merton accompanied Baird to a new set where he would work that day.

Baird was profuse in his admiration of the cowboy embellishments, the maroon chaps, the new boots, the hat, the checked shirt and gay neckerchief.
"I'm mighty glad to see you so sincere in your work," he assured Merton.
"A lot of these hams I hire get to kidding on the set and spoil the atmosphere, but don't let it bother you.

One earnest leading man, if he'll just stay earnest, will carry the piece.

Remember that--you got a serious part." "I'll certainly remember," Merton earnestly assured him.
"Here we are; this is where we begin the Western stuff," said Baird.
Merton recognized the place.
