The movie's veteran director, John Ford, even said it was "unbelievable" how well the 110 assorted boys nd men were turned into an "army" in 24 hours.

Ford made that observation for the Louisiana Employment Service personnel who helped in hiring of the extras. The horsemen were atop their mounts for the third day before the cameras today.

It wasn't too hard a Job, though, Denstorff and Knotts revealed. They had 248 would-be riders to apply. The applicants sruprised the studio representatives with their military background and ability to understand orders. Of the 110 now working, 49 were veterans. The employment specialists cite this as the reason the horsemen were so easy to make into an "army." The cavalrymen range in age from 18-57.

Applications for the work came from as far north in Louisiana as Vivian and as far south as De-Quincy.
