Can make big ones out of little ones and all that. There are columns and columns written by us humans telling what we think about motion pictures, but not often does a dog get a chance to express his opinion on the subject in a manner intelligible to us dumb brutes. The following little tale, folks, goes to show what our lowly fourfooted friend thinks of a movie camera. I was at Neil Hamilton's home photographing a swimming party for Screen Snapshots. Esther Ralston was there (and very cute too) and Alice White and Tom Keene and a whole batch of others. I was set up for a long shot of Neil Hamilton's swimming pool and surrounding grounds, using a 25 MM lens without the matte box on the camera. The pool is flanked by a vast lawn, and bordering the lawn is a high hedge. George Kelley, assisting me, set the matte box in a nice safe spot on the lawn, by the hedge. Just about this time Doug Montgomery arrived at the party, accompanied by his mammoth Irish wolfhound. It seems the dog had been drinking beer. . . . You guessed it. my people — out of that vast expanse of lawn and hedge, the dog found the matte-box. For further particulars see George Kelley.
