scene from the film Look up and Laugh 1935

In September 1935, Gracie performed one of those kindly acts for which she is so famous. She heard that a horse belonging to a young greengrocer had been killed in a road accident. He couldn't afford another horse and his livelihood was lost. So Gracie bought him a new pony and one night after the theatre she gave it to him. A passing pressman secured this picture.
