April 15. 1933 3 ■ ■ Carl Laemmle’s 2/th Anniversary Celebration -■= ANIMAL PICTURE cage with ten tons of wild animals— lions and tigers mixed— and come out alive after putting the beasts through their paces. I was so tempted that I could not resist. So we wrote a story around Clyde Beatty and his raging animals. I almost sweat blood while it was being made. I saw the rushes in the projection room at Universal City and I could not stand the excitement. But, boy, we got a picture! The Washington Post says it is ''the most spectacular, the most thrilling, the most extraordinary animal act ever performed under the big top. Twenty lions and twenty tigers— sworn mortal enemies of the animal kingdom— doing their act under the guiding hand of Clyde Beatty, the world's premier animal trainer — the wildest, most exciting animal stunts that have ever been screened." The critics everywhere have simply gone daffy over it. They have written praise that I would not dare to write about any picture. They know it is the real thing and not a fake. If you put one tenth of the enthusiasm into your advance notices that they have in their reviews, you will do a land-office business.
