WITH a dog, monkeys, peacocks,
w bears, elephants, snak kes, donkeys,
crocodlles, canary birds, horses and
lamb in the cast, It is probable. that
Cecil B. DE Miles Fools Paradise,
has set new record in the number and
variety of wild and domestic animals
used in making a motion picture.
In a setting that changes from an oil
boom town on the Mexican border to
Oriental temple scenes In Siam and
back again, the man who staged the
yacht wreck in male and Female, the
tunnel cave-in in Something to Think
About" and the Cinderella vision In
Forbidden Fruit" unquestionably was
called on to handle pretty large order
for a mere movie designed to be shown
in two hours at most.
Some of the animals were, OF course,
very easy to get and direct" in their,
acting" but others, especially the
crocodiles. provided many interesting
and thrilling moments for the produc-
ton manager. A special wire Enclosed
truck had to be built for their trans
portation, and on their arrival at the
studio unusual provision had to be made
for their feeding. For those were really
vicious beasts. Conrad Nagel and John
who climbed down into the
crocodile pit, can testify that they were
In danger enough without that brought
about by the anger of hunger pains.
