leading early candidate for the
Democratic presidential nomination,
Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt of
New York, has been put on the

point, observers here believe.
On his desk at Albany is a reSo-

to repeal the eighteenth amend

friends here say he will sign it,
This necessity for prohibition &C

the directors Of the an-dog pictures. The
cameras grind for . few seconds sometimes;
the longest scene Is rarely more than two min
utes and seldom that long. When we first use
stage dogs they cannot understand why they
should merely enter room and sit down.
They want to come in, do . barTel-roll, dance,
hit the drum and on, as they would do be-
fore the footlights. It seems silly TO them that
only a tiny fraction Of a scene should be made
at q time.
"Our dogs are fitted with dresses coats and
so forth, but they never wear the clothes for
more than few minutes AS soon as they feel
uncomfortable under the lights their owners
undress them and let them 60 to sleep or for q
walk. We have learned that no one can do
anything with tired or nervous dog. The only
action can photograph is that performed
willingly. II you have ever tried to force your
dog to do something you know just how evi-

At Culver City studio where a company Of
dog actors Is making q series Of talking COM
edies, the CANNES have their own stage, with
impressive quarters, consisting Of electrically
heated and cooled kennels, runways for exer-
cise baths, chairs on the set and special vet
erinarians always In attendance.
The dogs in the cast are recruited from well
known trained dogs of nlmdom, and in each
case trainers accompany them and put them
through the action required. To the initiated,
the things these dogs do may seem more din
cult than the things done by q single dog star
in q talking picture.
However, In a talking picture vocal direction
is impossible; the animal must be given signs
or taught his role before the scene begins, since
the sound track win record every word uttered
by any one on the set. A ball held up or
moved to right or left Is sometimes used as Q
signal to . four-footed actor; other trainers
have more less intricate hand movements;
