makes radio
dog barks
Woof, woof, who's got the woof ?
And if you bet on a dog, you're
not even warm because the "hu
man bark" is now the thing for
modern screen and radio.
Teaching Fido to say his line at
9:23 and a half doesn't seem to be
the vogue, according to Lee Miller,
radio's dog man, who makes a
profession of his barky remarks
with such doggicity that he is con
sidered the best dog bark man in
the business.
Several years ago Miller started
work-out sessions with his sealy-ham-shecpdog
with such success
that even his best friends couldn't
say which of the two had the dog
giest bark.
Being heard and not seen is the
secret of radio's and screenland's
realistic barks and quacks. The
duck language in the "Donald"
comedies could hardly be the barn
yard variety.
Tonight on one Columbia dra
matic show, "Those We Love,"
Lee Miller as "Rags" in the house
of a New England family, will
demonstrate his art.

MOUSE HUNT
New contender for the honor
of being outstanding "big game"
hunter in Hollywood is E. D. Lesh
in, Paramount business manager,
who just spent several thousand
dollars in shifting schedules while
looking for a mouse.
The hunt has been going on for
three days since a night watch
man saw a mouse on the set the
day before the studio was to use
a herd of elephants in a scene.
Because there are more than $50,
000 worth of antiques on a neigh
boring set, Leshin refused to let
the studio film the scene lest thej
mouse cause the elephants to
stampede.
Altho more than 100 traps, well
baited with cheese, have been set
out, the mouse has not been
caught yet.
UNDERSTUDY
To the thousands of hopefuls,
who every year trek westward In
hopes of landing a job in the mov
ies, this story of the jobs secured
by three of their tribe will sound
like a genuine tragedy.
The three were hired to work
in a scene in which they will never
appear. The invisible troupers suf
fered the prime ignominy of hav
ing cold, dead fish barracudas
and striped bass - slapped in their
faces while a microphone listened
for the sound it made.
The anonymous players were
hired to submit to this by Howard
Joslin, Paramount studio sound
effects specialist, as sound doubles
for several of the principals in
"Christmas in July," a Dick Tow-
ell picture, now in production.

INDOOR OCEAN
Patrons who saw the sea battle
in the "Sea Hawk," which took
place between a 135 foot British
man o war and a 136 foot Span
ish galleon, probably thought they
were looking at the ocean just off
the California coast, but as a mat
ter of fact they were seeing a bat
tle staged in a giant concrete tank
inside the Warner Brothers studio.
The indoor ocean, constructed
as a permanent marine stage,
breaks all precedent for set build
ing. The two gun boats were
moved about by means of track.1
and rockers concealed below the
water line.
