THE LITTLE DICTATOR
SHIRLEY TEMPLE GETS HER OWN WAY. When Shirley Temple heard that one of the humorous sidelights of “Just Around the Corner,” would feature,a swank "dog lounge,” she approached Director Irving Cummings with the idea that her own pet be given a part. Cummings was willing, so the 20th Century-Fox picture marks the first screen appearance of Ching, Shirley’s Pekinese. For -more than a year “Ching” has been a nuisance on the set of every one of Shirley’s pictures. On many occasions his asthmatic wheezing has been loud enough to cause the soundman to remonstrate. But Shirley wanted him around, and he stayed. When Shirley learned that the other dogs in the “lounge” sequence were being paid for the appearance she demanded that Ching be paid, too, so he was put on the pay roll.
