TO RETURN TO SCREEN
WELL KNOWN DOG. Because the producer-director Leo McCarey never forgets a fine performance, a greying screen veteran came out of retirement recently with all the faded fervour of a pensioned firehorse. Ten years ago McCarey, then directing Charlie Chase in two reel comedies, used a collie puppy named “Laddie,” and was so impressed with the dog’s ability that he used him in several subsequent pictures. And when, recently at RKO-Radio, McCarey needed a dog for a sequence with Irene Dunne and Charles Boyer in “Love Affair,” he immediately called “Laddie’s” owners.
“Yes,” he was told, “ ‘Laddie’s’ still alive, but he hasn’t worked for two years. He’s pretty old now, and not as lively as he used to be.”
