Around Hollywood Hollywood (U.R) A reign ing movie star had his belated triumps Tuesday his "stunt double was such a flop that the live, actor had to be called back for retakes. The star is Jackie, the only trained lion thespian in Hollywood. He has tie title role in Bernard Shaw epic, "Androcles and the Lion." Since Jackie is temperamental and might be moved to sample Aline Mosby RKO's George By ALINE MOSBY United Press Correspondent a two-footed actor's arm for taste, a man in a lion's suit took over for some shots in which Androcles, played by Alan Young, waltzes with the animal. But trainer Mel Koontz proud ly reported that the dummy lion "just didn't look right." "He moved his head jerkily," he said. "So the real Jackie came back to do the scenes." Double in Danger Spots Koontz, in a wig and roman tcga, will double for Young in the most dangerous shots, just as the trainer has doijbled for Jackie's other co-stars. Jackie has a monopoly on Hon roles in the movies, since no other lion has been schooled to act with the two-footed stars. Jackie wrestled with Victor Ma ture in "Samson and Delilah." He has starred in Tafzan movies and has the title role in a War ner epic, "The Lion and the Horse."
