Model for Dopey, Plays Pop in "The Blue Bird" HOLLYWOOD, Oct 28.-UP) - Eddie Collins, who modelled for Dopey in Disney's "Seven Dwarfs." is leading a dog's life these days, literally. In Shirley Temple's forthcom ing picture. "The Blue Bird." he's supposed to be Shirley's dog who has taken human form. He gets no dog-skin to wear, no canine mask, not even a tail. He has to convince audiences he's really dog, but he, must do it through subtle characterization using his own face. "The picture opens with Shir ley and her little brother, Johnnie Russell, owning a cat and a dog," explains Eddie. "Then the pets take human shape. Gale Sondergaard is the cat. . "Well. I studied every little quirk of character in that dog it's a bulldog. I learned to grin like it. to cock my head to one side, and to roll my eyes reproach fully. I don't think the dog ever discovered I was trying to mimic it, but I'm hoping movie audienc es catch on all. right. Makeup 'Small Help Eddie gets little help from his makeup. His Jowls are slightly ac centuated, and one eyebrow is rounded to conform with that of the dog, but that's all. Eddie doesn't need much help, though. His face is one that audi ences automatically laugh at. Collins played the role ot "Jiggs" in "Bringing Up Father on the stage for years, then re tired to the post of comedian at a Los Angeles burlesque. Here in 1936, among the s trio- tease artists, wait Disney mscov ered him. Then two mornings i month, for over a year, Collins boxed, ran, danced, hippity-hop- ped, wept and smiled while Dis ney took the motion pictures that brought forth the cartoon charac ter of "Dopey." Collins has a lot of fun in the picture, battling with Miss 3on dergaard and sulking in a plush lined doghouse. But he hopes peo ple won't get the idea he's really doglike. I prefer my meat well done,1 he says. Call Board STATE Today "Andy Hardy Gets Spring Fever" with Mickey Rooney, Lewis Stone, Ce cilia Parker and Fay Hol den.
