The Washington times., 1924-09-13

In the course of casting a pic
ture director frequently dis
covers that he needs q dog, a
lion, an elephant or a score of
horses or other animals. This
demand has opened up in recent
years a new branch of film activ.
ity which has involved the in.
vestment Of many hundreds of
thousands Of dollars, and which
is expanding rapidly. There are
also many independent persons
who own animals that are their
chief source of livelihood.
There is, for instance. Jeanne,
a collie, six years old, who made
her first appearance in films with
Montagu Love in 1919. She was
especially trained by her owner,
Emery Bronte, of Englewood Cliff.
NJ. j., for a screen career. This
dog has appeared with many Of
the stars and played for pro-
ducers from coast to coast.
Jeanne receives about S35
day, and all she wants is one
good meal and an occasional bis
cult. She is soon to be seen in
Janice Meredith" and special
mention has been made by film
folk about Jeanne's acting in this
production.

The bulk of the animal bust
ness is conferred in the Universal
City Zoo. Selig's Zoo and Charles
Cages animal farm at Elmonte.

According to certain reports, her

$l25 more than that of her
trainer.
When Cecil B. De Mile was
preparing to make his The Ten
Commandments" one list which
came to the casting department
was for about 5000 animals.
which included horses, camels,
burros, sheep, goats, cows. oxen,
guinea hens, ducks, chickens and
dogs.
James Cruze was confronted
with the problem of getting ami.
mails for THE Covered Wagon"
In certain sequences he required
100 yoke of steers. 200 mules of
the army type, 900 horses. 100
ponies and herd Of buffalo.
The mules and steers we're pur.
chased outright from Otto Meek,
of the Baker ranch, with the con.
tract stipulation they could be
resold at their initial cost with
the payment of nominal figure
for their upkeep.

She is said to have half a dozen
cubs and one or two full-grown
leopards in the cellar Of her

For 1.-THE Side Show of Life"
il was necessary to have a COM
plete circus. An intelligent dog
that appeared in that production
is one that is often seen in IN

whose owner died in Minneapolis
six months ago. The lion in this
film was the one which gained
renown as the Goldwyn lion.
