This is done in the George K. Spoor feature, "Young America." now being produced at the Essanay studios in Chicago. It required Infinite patience on the part of Director Berthlet as well as the dog's master, Charles Frohman Everett, who plays the lead in the picture, to accomplish the result. It was wellnigh impossible to keep the dog in the same position long enough to register accurately, although the canine has been trained with infinite care by its young master. After nearly a score of retakes the scene was finally completed, and it is believed to be the first scene ever presented in which a dog doubles for itself. The picture Is taken from the Cohan and Harris production written by Fred. Ballard, and which had a great stage success recently.
