Jack WeatherwaX is a dog trainer
and he gets $40 day, the ac-
cepted fee, for hanging around with
one of his canine actors.
His Scotty, Whiskers, is in almost
every scene in "On the Sunny Side"
Whiskers provides a jealousy mott
vation by transferring his affec-
tions, in the film, from Freddie
Mercer to Roddy Mcdowell.
WhiSkerS has Scotty stand-ln
trained sufficiently TO be able to
take his place in case of emergency.
Dogs have stand-ins for the same
reason human actors do--so that
the actor will be fresh for his work.
explains WeatherwaX.
Leave a dog under those hot
lights for a while and he starts

When one of his canine charges
gets sulky, WeatherWax gets down
on hands and knees and takes a
dogs-eye view of the set.

the dog is blinded by light. L

katharine Of Arrogance Admits It
If the Word Means What She Thinks That Is Is Report
Further Debunking the Old Hepburn Legend
BY Mayme> Ober Peak.
HOLLYWOOD.

Arrogant? Rude? Upstage?
Not the Katharine Hepburn I
talked to in her portable dressing
room at M-G.-M.
1 confess I went with fingers
crossed to interview the unpredict-
able Hepburn. l came away with
impressions of the most alive, de-
lightfully challenging personality
encountered in years OF celebrity
interviewing!
AS we chatted over a coup OF tea
and delicious Danish cookies-home-
made and served on a box top-I
might even say l found Katie gra-
cious. If I did, she'd never speak
| to me again The last halo she
wants to wear is one of sweetness
and light!
However, a change has come over
Miss Hepburn. There is new femi-
nine glow about her She is by
way of becoming beauty. Gone
is the holloW-cheeked angular
tomboy in faded. patched overalls
who first startled Hollywood, She

| Slacks are still her habitual garb,
but they are splendidly tailored now
to compliment her figure.
She's Grown Up.
Asked how she could keep such
a figure and indulge in the frosted
| cookies she was examining, her
reply was: Il have such a terrific
amount of energy I'd be burned up
without lot of food I never get
| fat. Feel how compact I am she
invited me to thump her shoulders.
Yes. the old restless fires still
keep this dynamic girl going. She
can't keep still. There is the same
provocative tilt to her chin. But
withal this thoroughbred isn't
champing so much at the bit. She
is freer. She has grown up. Natu-
rally very shy, she no longer uses
her flamboyance to cover up.
Much of today's Hepburn is in
the woman she portrays in her cur
rent film. Woman of the Year"
The story was written for her and
Spencer Tracy, and personally sold
to M.-G.-M. in one of Katies cam
niest business deals. The heroine Is

gent. attractive daughter Of State

The picture ought 10 throw some
light on the problem of the modern
woman who is financially independ-

her the marriage problem is very
great If she falls in love with
strong man. she loses him because
she is concentrated too much on
her job. If she falls in love with
weakling she can push around, she
always falls out of love with him.

William Powell-Durable Bill, I
call him. I've seen him off and on
through good number of years,
and he doesn't seem to get any
older looking. even after numerous
marital administrations.
He has a new vice president now,
dainty and pretty, who could travel
on trains at half-fare. She's Diana
Lewis, plays small parts in pictures
at the same studio where Bill works.
I always enjoy seeing Bill. Which
recalls an occasion when I was out
here years ago after Jack Barry
more had been here the first few
years-I was leaving for home and
Jack said Monty, don't 60 home.
I have no one to talk with out
here!'
Their Manner, Too.
He could have talked with Bill
should think. There is something
about their articulateness and their
mastery of the mother tongue that
reminds me each of the other some
how.
Then again there is their sardonic,
meticulous manner which is not of
Hollywood.
Bill is not what we call "an actor
on and off" but he is very like
himself in the two and the three
dimensional worlds. That same
pulling back of the mouth muscles
as he talks. the same cryptic dead
pan full eye of the actor, the same
stiff back and neck that suggest his
having been at West Point, the
subtle suggestion of humor coming
up before it arrives.
AS We drove up to the Powell
house. l looked for a high. spiked,
electrified wall such as Bill had
around a former home to protect
him from r1arauders. There was
none. Bill lives in rented house;

ONE BILLION PROPOSED
FOR AGRICULTURE
Bill Recommending
$500, 824,O37 For 1912
Sent To House

Washington-A bill apprropriat.
ing $890,824,037 for the 1912 farm
program and other activities of the
agricultural department was. Ssent
to the house Monday by Us ap-
preparations committee.
This total was a reduction of $4,-
s27,s34 from the budget estimates
and a $193,023, SOP cut from the
appropriation for the current year.
The bill means, that 81, APO, 977, $50
will be available to the department
appropriations appropriations,
power to borrow from the recon-
struction finance corporation and
authority to make contracts for
$162, 100000 in parity payments
The overall total for the current
year was $1,477, 001 ,061.
The committee proposed that the
usual $212,00O,0O0 for parity pay
ments be made available, but, in
stead Of providing actual cash, it
followed President Roosevelt's sug-
gestion that only $50,0O0,000 be ap-
propriated and that the department
be given authority to make COM
mitments for the remaining $780,
100000.
The committee emphasized in it's
report on the bill it's contention
that continuation of the payments
was essential.
1.-THE congress is making every
provision for the national defense"
the report declared, land it is just
as necessary and just as much an
element of national defense to pro-
vide proper safeguards to protect
the farm population Of the country
from the economic ruin which may
well come with the postwar adjust
ment as it is to provide the re-
quisite arms and munitions for the
physical defense of the nation"
At the same time, the committee
made four suggestions to the de-
partment for future consideration.
1. The report said the committee
had been Impressed" with the "evi-

vet blue robes Concordia selected
in place of the conventional black
and white, meets the eye, and the
entire effect is that of a perfected
whole. A minimum Of solo work
contributes to that end. Its beauty
and strength is in the composite
of the sixty voices.
At times the tonal effects were
startling. In double chorus num-
bers like Bach's "Sing Ye to the
Lord" and Christiansen's psalm
5O," the BASES rumbled to unthink-
able depths or trebles reached to
new heights. The blends and var
iety of tonal effects was sheer
wizardry.
While soprano, alto, tenor solo
lists were used, there was feeling
that they were important only for
the effect on the whole their quail
tiles achieved. Here Is one organi-
cation with no name" build ups,
no lead" personalities.
The program that ran from "An
Apostrophe to the Heavenly Host"
through Latin numbers, Norwegian
folk songs, was admirably set up.
Psychologically 1t reached its dra-
matte climax at the right moment,
the crowd still clamoring for more

was used in the Grieg's selection
