A short tale from 1931 via Fox Movietone News cameraman Harry Birch about Fred Geise of Paramount.

The boys still get their picture. Fred Geise is the latest example of how to get what you go after. Recently a big fire bust and Fred drew the assignment only to find on his arrival at the scene of the conflagration that the fireman were about to pull down a big four story wall. Fred got busier than the proverbial one armed paper hanger on setting up his outfit, yelling to the fireman to “hold that wall up a few minutes longer!” Sounds like a big order. Well, anyhow, we saw a picture in Fred’s newsreel of a four-foot wall coming down.
