rEPFOKD MATTj TRIBUTE. MEDFORD, OREGON. FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 2fi. 1937. PAGE SEVEN FILM COSTS RISE AS DOG REHEARSES FOR SHALL SCENE Entire Day Spent As Hound Is Coached for Sequence Lasting But 15 Seconds Much Meat Required By Frederick C. Othman (U. P. Staff Correspondent.) HOLLYWOOD, Niv.t 26. (UP) M-G-ta will be figuring far Into to night, trying to discover how many thousands of dollars It cost today to make a 15 -second scene In which a dog woke up from & snooze on the floor, stretched, heard an Intruder outside, and barked three times. The dog's name was Luke and he was smart as a Missouri hound ever gets, but It took the combined ef fort of Director Clarence Brown, all his assistants, Luke's trainer and half a dozen actors, a pound of meat and most of the day to turn the trick. When It was finished, Luke wag ged his tall wearily and went to sleep without the help of anybody. Old Crone's Mutt. The picture Is entitled "Benefits Forgot," In which Walter Huston Is a circuit riding preacher In Ohio In 1850. The scene shows an old log house In which lives one of Parson Huston's parishioners, Leona Roberts. She plays the part of an old crone. sitting before the fire, smoking her pipe, with Luke on the floor beside her. The fire consists of blue-blaz' lng "photoflame," which Is a cot tony substance which burns with the . odor of gunpowder. Ordinary flame won't do In a movie fireplace be cause It Is reddish and yellowish and hence films black. Mist Roberts' pipe Is a real corn-1 cob, but It doesn't contain smoking tobacco. It's loaded with a crumpled cigarette, bo she won't gt sick. Trouble 'With Tall. Luke Is a mighty dirty -looking hound, made that way with lamp black carefully smeared onto his red and white coat. His trainer, Rennle Renfrew, does the dirty work, get ting his hands- far blacker than he does Luke, who wage his tall all through the process. When Luke's appearance Is bad enough to suit everybody, Renfrew places him on the floor at Miss Rob erts' feet. Luke's tall thumps the boards. Renfrew pleads with him to stop, to act sleepy. Luke shuts his eyes, but somehow he can't keep his tall still. Luke Is suppobed to stay on the floor until he hears a noise outside the door. Then he Is to Jump wp, go toward the door, stop three paces In front of It, and hark. He can't go any closer, else he'll get outside the camera's range. This Is getting a little complicated, even for a hound as Intelligent as Luke. It's particu larly hard for him to understand, because Renfrew must stay out of sight of the camera. Slow Process. Renfrew gets on the other side of the door and shc-vos a piece of meat through a chink in It. Luko bounds for the meat. That's no go. Luke can't eat until he's barked and he can't bark until he stops three feet from the door. Renfrew explains It all to htm care fully. Luke listens and then they rehearse. Luke makes a lot of mis takes but after each try Renfrew pats him on the head, tells him he's do ing fine, and gives him another chunk of meat. As the hours go by. with their attendant charges being added up by the bookkeeping de partment, Luke gets the whole rou- !U I v li r;- HIS ACTIONS SPOKE louder than post-election words when 61-year-old Judge Sam uel E. IToyt, chosen new A.A.U chief, jumped into activity a' once. tine down pat. and does It perfectly. AH hands' congratulate, him and he goes to sleep, even Ignoring the extra big piece of beef that Renfrew offers him as a final reward. Laura Drury Named To Phi Beta Kappa EUGENE.
