five children on the set.
A wide-eyed French poodle and
her quintuplets are study in why

Gypsy is one of the best-trained
French poodles in Hollywood.
Charlie Ruggles had her once. She
became so expert that she could
do Ruggles' routine of a tipsy fel-
low as well as he could. He pre-
sented her to Joe E. Brown.
So when Ann Sheridan's ut All

poodle with canine "oomph" Gypsy
got the job. Production was to start
in three weeks. Then they dis
covered Gypsy was to become a
mother.

Playhouse has existed for years as

authors to theatrical audiences.
