RIN TIN TIN
DEATH OF FAMOUS SCREEN DOG. Probably no dog has had such a world-wide circle of friends as Rin Tin Tin, most gifted of animal actors for the films. When word of his death reached London : newspapers gave as much .attention to the event ias if lie had been a great personage. The dog’s owner was an officer in the United States Air Force during the war, and he found Rin Tin Tin in a- German duo-out after the attack on Metz. A handsome fortune was mad'e out. of tli© dog, which is siaid to have earned £SOO a. week.
Everyone who has seen him at work speaks of his extraordinay quickness and intelligence in learning his part and obeying his cues, and once when lie was the guest of honour at a Hollywood dinner he replied to the toast ©if .bis health with ba.ifks and expression which created the impression that, he fully appreciated the occasion. In his last days his temper became uncertain, and when lie showed affection for the villi an and hdstility to . the hero, his meting clays were* known to be over.
