We prove that non-trivial representations of the alternating group
${\mathsf A}_n$ are reducible over a primitive proper subgroup which is
isomorphic to some alternating group ${\mathsf A}_m$. A similar result is
established for finite simple classical groups embedded in ${\mathsf A}_n$
via their standard rank $3$ permutation representations.
