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-

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.

FOR today's woman T7 . busy, modern, throwing off ane'ent
shackles . . . B-ettes were created. Here is a method that
ends the discomfort, the inconvenience and tho embarrassment
that heretofore has been an unavoidable part of this feminine
problem. With B-ettes there is no consciousness of wearing a
sanitary protection at all! They are completely invisible in use
. . . deodorant . . . and, though they safely and efficiently
perform the purpose of ordinary napkins, B-ettes are so tiny that
a day's supply can be carried unobtrusively in a handbag. Never
before have women known such comfort . . . such convenience
, . . such daintiness ... in a sanitary protection.
