Trimble, first of the animal psy-
biologists" Strongheart was Ger
man police dog who saw service in
the Red Gross toward the end of
World War l. Jane Murfln, now a
Universal producer. bought him
after the war and turned him over
to Trimble Strangely, Trimble,
who had suffered from dog phobia
as boy. later began an intensive
study of them.
His creed for training a dog: %
Never ridicule the animal, 90 be
straightforward with him. 90 al
ways treat him with respect, "a al
ways show that he has no reason to
be afraid of you, for his strongest
instinct is fear.
Once. when the script of a Strong
heart movie required the huge dog
to jump at the throat of the villain,
Trimble had an emotional problem
to solve. The heavy" was really a
great favorite of Strongheart's and
it would have perplexed him if his
master had ordered him to attack
his friend. Trimble solved the di-
lemma by making it a game for the
dog to jump at the mans necktie
and catch it with his teeth. This
all looked realistically vicious on the
screen. but it was just fun to Strong
heart.

animal trainer and he'll say its's

Every One Says He'll Win Academy Award
but Superstitious Ray Milland
By Sheiloh Grohom

earns more than most actors in
Hollywood, but is careful with his
money. He gets indignant when
made to pay inflated prices for any
thing.
Il stayed at Claridge's when I was
in London" says Ray. "and the
place was full of kings. but that
was no excuse for charging me SO
for a small drink Things were
worse in Paris, where Ray had to
pay several hundred francs for each
meal. He likes America best, and
he will leave only to make an occa-
sional picture in England.
Fifteen years ago Ray married
Muriel Webber. He calls her Nal.
They separated not very long after
Ray had completed Lost Week
End I'D lost a lot of weight for
the picture and was near break
down. Milland explains, meaning
that he was difficult to live with.
And difficult to interview at that
time, which is why he was nomi-
mated as the least cooperative actor
by the Hollywood Womens Press
Club. But everything is now serene
with Ray and Nal and he is no
longer moody with members of the
press.
Prior to leaving, I ask Ray
whether his role OF the drunk in
The Lost Week End" had any ef-
feet on his own drinking habits.

want to drink more he replies, but
after the picture came out I was so
sick of talking and hearing about

Author Of "Winterset' and other hits, ne
NEW YORK.
1t is almost frightening to dis
cover that a dramatist of the statue
of Maxwell Anderson, who has writ
ten some Of our best plays through
tle years could turn out such COM
plete tWaddle as he has in Truck
line Cafe" which opened Wednes-
day at the Belasco Theater.
This is, mind you, the same Max
well Anderson who wrote. with Lau-
renee Stallings, a great drama con-
cerning the first World War, What
Price Glory; who fashioned the
dignified and memorable Elizabeth
the Queen; who wrote some OF the
finest, soaring poetry OF the recent
theater for one of the best dramas
I have seen, "Winterset," and who,
when he had been set up on highly
deserved pedestal as writer of Sc
rious themes, came up with a change
of pace which would do justice to
Bob Feller or Grover Alexander
when he penned the bright, lifting
"Knickerbocker Holiday
"Truckline Cafe" is therefore an
incredible incident in the playWrit-
ing history of one of our foremost
dramatists. 1t may very we'll be
that he had this lone bad one to
get off his mind, as is frequently the
case in any creative personality.
Earlier this season I was similarly
shocked, although I must say not
quite so shatteringly, when Robert
E. Sherwood turned out a second
rate, jumbled war drama, in which
Spencer Tracy wasted his excellent
talents. called The Rugged Path"
It received, incidentally, some very
rugged notices.
One Memora BILE Bit.
-Anderson's play also has war

plies to solve their postwar marital
differences after unfaithfulneSS mas
caused suspicion. neuroses, hopeless
ness, which are actually meager
compared to the brutal murder IN
which one of the couples SubSe-
quently is involved.
The play strives in discourag-
lngly disconnected, mercurial fashlon
to get to a single intelligent point.
The point is made most unconvinc-
ingly and the road leading to it is
covered with every sort of drama
tical obstacle imaginable The point
Anderson evidently wishes to project
is that no matter what has hap
pened, it is better to take up the
scattered strands of love and get life
started again rather than leave all
concerned in despair. One couple
does this in the end after the hus-
band of the other principal pair
murders his young wife and then
barricades himself on a wharf to

Trainers are enjoying a renais-
sance in film circles these days, for
the animal kingdom once again has
come into its own. Important star
roles are now falling not alone to
the Boyers and the Bergmans. but
to horses, dogs, cats and every type
of well-trained beast capable Of
demonstrating dramatic powers in
specially written scripts.
Undoubtedly it was the SenSa-
tional success of ''Lassie Come
Home and My Friend Flicka" that
inspired this new run on dog and
horse epics, but it's fact that every
studio on town is concentrating on
four-footed starring material-con-
centrating as they have never done
since the gala days of Rin-Tin-Tin
and Strongheart.
One of the top dramatic roles of
1946 is soon to be assigned to an
unknown collie and every animal
trainer in Hollywood is on his toes
to supply the successful contender.
The purple cloak of stardom will
spread before the kennel of that
collie designated to portray the title
role in Albert Payson Terhune's
famed "Treve,' story of boy and
mis- faithful sheep dog. Universal
has listed it for a midsummer start
and all the weeks meantime will
be devoted to a careful search for
exactly the right canine. The boys
role, while important. is secondary
and is giving the studio no particu-
lar worry.
Universal has asked each top ami
NAL trainer in the territory to put
forth collie candidate, trained in
the ways of a sheep dog and coached
TO perform all the special tricks re-
quired in the 'Treve" script. AS an
indication of the Importance with
which all of them regard this plum.
two trainers have already dispatched
scouts to check over Well-recom-
mended boWwoWs in widely scattered
areas.
Dogs Are Feared, Too.
Rudd Weatherwax, whose first
success was with Lassie. will try to
repeat with still another captivating
collie. Lassie "a he, by the way)
would take no prize at a dog show
his nose is too broad, for one thing,
"a fact which may account for his
extra brain-pan. Lassie reached
the pinnacle of his dramatic career
IN his latest, Hold High the Torch
playing war hero with dual
personality.
In movies like "LaSsie" and
"Treve" human stars naturally must
subordinate their own talents to
those of the dominant canine. More
often, however. important human
performers won't stand for being
billed opposite pooch. Some won't
even permit dog in their pictures,
and 1t says so right in their con-
tracts. A script containing canine

and Don Ameche When the trainer
produced the mutt on the set, there
was CONSERVATION. Miss 10y went
into long and heated conference
with the producer. Result was that
WeatherWaX was told fatty the
color of the animal was absolutely
unsuitable against Miss Logs cos
tune And it would be much too
expensive to redeSign her wardrobe
10 make it harmonic with the dog S
coat. WeatherWax was used to
such complaints. He merely ordered
the prop man to give the dog tint
bath each morning. Everybody was
happy-and photogenic
At the moment. the inside track
in the competition for the Treve
role is being held doggedly by
Henry East, WeatherwaX's former
employer, and owner-trainer of Asia
(of Thin Man" fame. Rex, Corky
and some so additional movie
pooches. East deals exclusively in
dogs and cats, which he admits are
the easiest to train.
All dog lovers will be interested in
East's convictions about the rela-
tive intelligence of the thorough
bred and the mutt. Most folks are
inclined to believe that the cheap
alley dog is much smarter and
easier to train than the taut, blood
ed animal. Not so Henry East.
Asia a Thoroughbred.
There are just as many stupid
mongrels as stupid thoroughbreds, -
he said. It's true pedigreed dogs
are generally more nervous and
high-strung than NUTS, due to in
breeding and pampering, but. on
the whole they make better actors
because they are more sensitive to
direction. For my part, I'll take a
dog of breeding almost any time
For illustration, East can point to
the training of the original Asia,
who also gave Myrna 10y scene
stealing trouble in the Thin Man"
series. He bought Asia. at an Ocean
Park. Calf, pet shop for SIS. The
dog responded better than any East
has ever had in his menage. 1t was
only after the phenomenal pooch
became famous that East discovered
he was thoroughbred wire haired
terrier. Asia won progressively bet
ter billings for himself, but his men,
tor believes he didn't earn a frac-
ton of what he was worth to the
studio.
East, his wife, or one of his train
ers, works with a talented dog from
six months to year before it is al
lowed to go before the cameras.
Most dogs at his ranch, however,
are only partly trained and are con-
signed to atmosphere" parts-they
are the extras of the Canine Equity.
Forerunner of all dog stars was,
of course, the beloved Rin-Tin- Tin,
who reigned in silent Warner films
OF the 1920s. His trainer, Lee Dun
can, still remembers the flood of
heartfelt coincidence he received
from all over the world when that
great beast passed away.
