HOLLYWOOD, April 30 (NAN.A).— A general movement in studioland com- glemy threatens the star reign which as made Hollywood the center of in- terest for a world, and which has car-| ried humble lads and lassies from ob- scurity to the power almost of poten- tates. One of the feature pictures being made at present has nine principals in the cast. Any one of them can legiti- mately claim the right to be featured in a large picture, and several of them | are acknowledged stars. Buddy Rogers is one. following among ladies, and there are those boys who feel that a glimpse of the Kansas City lad is a lesson in suavity and sartorialism. Nancy Carroll is another member of this cast. This actress was elevated to the glory of a star some time ago, and to show which way the wind of popu- larity is blowing she topped Clara Bow’s fan mail recently. This is no mean accomplishment. Such statistics give a winsome little red-head with a lot of talent and a face like a Persian kitten's stand- ing in her studio. La Bow has always held the record for fan letters. Her following is phenomenal, or has been until recently, when the Titian Carroll slipped one over. Time was when the presence of a Nancy Carroll would preclude any other artist of marked ability being in the cast. Buddy Rogers would have been honors in his own pictures, and such comedy relief as would have found its way into the script would have been gl':dfid by some one else than Zelma eal. Zelma O'Neal, from Manhattan, the toast of the town two Winters ago, when “Follow Through” was in its hey- day, comes into this cast with the superb comedy technique she brought to the stage version. Of course, the opportunities of pic- ture stealing under such circumstances He has a vast| are gorgeous. But “may the best man win” seems to be the rule of directors and producers these days. One of the studios is buying up pho- | nograph records with songs long since |out of eirculation. Just what the idea is they have not revealed—expired copy- rights perhaps: or, again, maybe just the idea of finding something quaint | and original with which to sharpen the jaded appetites of dear old audiences. A most interesting chapter in the annals of celluloid history is a trip to the sets where dog “barkie” pictures are being made. ‘The dogs, Boston bulls mainly, are trained to move their jaws at a given signal, each jaw movement to corre- spond to a sign from their trainer. The script is held by the trainer, *. 1 indicates the syllables to be used, 1 the dog makes the jaw motions necessary. When a human voice is dubbed in, the result is the comical effect of the dog speaking the lines. His muzzle movements correspond ex- actly with the dialogue. As for the acting ability of the troupe, they make some of the human element fade into the background. Jiggs, star of the troupe, has had seven years of intensive training to fit him for his present stardom. Zion Myers and Jules White are the men ‘who have brought barkies to Hollywood. Jiggs can clearly enunciate the word “mamma,” and can make a very good stab at saying “hamburger.” At the recent preview of his latest picture he entertained some 50 of the village dogs with a hamburger party after the show- ing. Karl Dane brought his bowwow. Charles Bickford was there with a Rus- sian wolf hound which is the prize of his life. Carmel Myers carried the tiniest dachshund in captivity. There were wire-hairs and sealyhams, collies and black-and-tans. Last season it was airplane luncheons. Well, well, well! (Copyright. 1930). Daily Cross-Word Puzzle Across. 1. Mark of injury. 5.
