That's the present predicament OF
Mervyn lie Roy, who is going to pro-
duce THE Wizard of Or" at M-G-M.
le Roy got himself into his present
existence by telling the public that
he was uncertain as to what kind of
. dog to use as Toto, the pet of Dor
othy In the story. Now every one
seems to have different idea of Toto.
On only two matters do fans agree,
lie Roy finds They are solid in the
belief that Toto should be real dog
and not an actor in a costume and
the dog should not talk as do the lion
and other animals in the story. But
what kind Of dog should be used.
The role will be one of the best
canine parts in Aim history because
Toto is always with Dorothy and
even effects some rescues The illus
trations to L. Frank Baums original
book showed the dog remotely re-
sembling q Scotty, but with . fanci-
full twist which seems to give every
dog owner the idea that his dog fits
the case
Letters by the hundreds, carrying
photos of dogs, are pouring into LIE
Roy's ONCE. The studio reception
room has q steady stream of men,
women and children with dogs Ito

cants are Scotties but there have been

he can't enjoy taking his own dog for

First thing you know. this fellow who

Then he faints. He can be revived
only with the immediate application
Of . highball or . hunk Of salami,

A man initiating An orangutan
causes some people to laugh and others
to suspect maybe Darwin had some
thing. Mischa likes to stick out his
jaw, open his mouth, drop to his

his sides. The effect Is startling and.
to some people, amusing. Hollywood
found 1t so and Gregory Lacava
thought the rest Of the world would,
too. That's why he cast Mischa in
MY Man Godfrey" and told him to
"act like monkey"
After trying for eight years, Mischa
finally clicked.
WHEN Mischa left high school, in
New York he became an actor.
Eventually he went on the road and
when the show got to Los Angeles
he quit because Hollywood was so
close by. He got bit here and there
and before long he was stamped As
q villain. But he wasn't q first-rate
villain-perhaps because his good hui
NOR cropped out too often-and 1t
was his luck to "be killed OF in the
frst reel" You see, he was Just an
assistant villain, q sort Of stooge to
the head villain.
Mischa was such q poor villain thas
for q long time he didn't work at
all-at his chosen trade. Through
Russian friends he met Frank Tuttle,
director, who found Mischa anus
ing enough and bright enough to hire
him as his secretary. This was job
he held for nearly three years, with
occasional acting parts coming his
way. Tuttle gave him time on when
ever he asked.
He was given . very, very small

"A several hundred theater man.
ayers and dramatic critics from across

Realizing that in order to put new

only hit plays and musicals with recog-
niBed Broadway or Hollywood stars,
managers are limiting that they will
ask the convention to set standards
which all producers must come up to,
With these standards set. road pro-
ductions will be "policed" by the
American Theater Council to guaran-
tee they are observed before the tours
begin.
Among the Broadway impresarios
and the advance guard of delegates
there is already a bubbling enthu-

" " that economy Is sweeping
Hollywood, there is occa-'

making spectacular films has consisted
in photographing everything that con-
ceivably could appear in the film and
assembling the finished photoplay out
of that. Twentieth Century-Fox has
reversed its procedure with Stanley

shots taken in the studio, enough
dramatic material to justify the foot
age made in Africa, in which Director
Otto Brewer and his camera crew
followed Stanley's trail from Zanzibar
to Ujiji
Brewer took a script and with the
aid of doubles shot 100000 feet of
action, which has been edited down
to six reels and will probably shrink
to three reels, or half of the finished
picture. The shots made in the
studio will carry the dramatic story
and will be cut into the jungle ma
