LEADING a dog's life is not hard at all for "Brownie," the Wonder Dog, who is the highest paid animal player under contract by the Century Film Corporation in Hollywood, Cal. His popularity with all classes of people is due to the fine type of comedies written for the canine screen star. His acting always rings true and there are enough humorous situations in his pictures to please the most critical.
No better comedies were ever filmed than the present two-reelers ready for release through the Universal Film Exchanges, Inc. The photographs shown on this page, grouped around a picture of "Brownie," were taken from his latest fun reels.
The one in the upper left hand corner shows the Wonder Dog helping Harry Sweet find the girl in the case in their film picture, "Tough Luck," and the photograph in the upper right hand corner shows "Brownie" driving
the dog ambulance in "The Dog Doctor." Right below this is a reproduction of a scene in "Playmates" and on the opposite side one from "Pal's," two films which are shortly to be released.
These last two pictures are the funniest ever presented to motion picture audiences and there is not one feature in the pictures which will not produce a laugh.
"Bro\\Tiie," who is a mixture of Bull Terrier and Fox Terrier is now four years old. Through his owner Charles Gee, he has just signed a new contract with the Century Company for two years. He is a real veteran motion picture actor and has never been on the stage except for one occasion when he made a personal appearance at the Rialto theatre in Los Angeles.
In his latest comedies the Wonder Dog is capably supported by a new screen baby, two years old.
The child is called Baby Peggy and has been filmed in a series of ingenious and highly amusing "kid" stunts, which are said to be entirely natural and yet in keeping with the story of the comedy. The picture was directed by Tom Buckingham.
After seeing the first run of "Pals," Mr. Julius Stern, president of the Century Corporation, immediately made arrangements to put Baby Peggy on the Century payroll for future "Brownie" comedies. "Brownie" recently was signed by Century for several years, at a salary figure which would make many human screen players envious.
Baby Peggy is not the same youngster that played with "Browmie" in his previous Century comedy, "The Kid's Pal," which is to be released April 25. "The Kid's Pal" cast included a youngster several years older than Baby Peggy.
