Classic of Boy and Dog
Comes Vividly to Screen
‘The Biscuit Eater,* at the Little,
Is Brilliant Telling of Storyf
Rich in Humor and Pathos ^
By JAY CARMODT. i
It was not inevitable, of course, that the classic story of the boy and
his dog should become a screen classic, but that is a Reasonable facsimile
of what has happened in “The Biscuit Eater,” now at the Little Theater.
The title, a colloquialism meaning a dog who is a great genius and a great
bum at the same time, is attached to a story that Is as heart warming
as it is different from the standard cinema formula. To miss it is to mia»
a revelation of how thoroughly it*
is possible for the camera to catch
the humor and pathos, in short, the
greatness, of a
simple narrative.
When James
Street wrote
“The Biscuit
Eater” for a
popular maga
zine, it was a
touching account
of a no-account
dog and two kids
who loved him
with a passion
ate understand
ing which united
the three of
them against the
world. That is c*nnodr.
exactly what Jack Moss, making his
bow as producer, has brought to the
screen, and it is impossible to be
human and remain unmoved by the
excellence and fidelity of the trans
lation.
“The Biscuit Eater,” Paramount’s
Moss decided very wisely, needed no
stars. WHat it needed was authen
tic Dixie background (Georglk) and
dog and boy actors as natural as
only dog and boy actors can be. In
giving it those elements, he gave
discriminating moviegoers a fine
and honest picture that keeps its
honesty to an ending which looks
tragic unless one can see that Prom
ise, the dog, had to die in' order to
be the lovable hero-villain he was.
In puppyhood. Promise reveals
himself as the outcast offshoot of
an aristocratic line. Doomed to
death, he is rescued by little Lonnie
McNeil (Billy Lee) and his picka
ninny pal (Cordell Hickman), who
believe in him with a blindness of
love which is willing to defy any
danger. Patiently, and with many
humorous and some almost tragic
defeats, they train him to the cham
pionship of all hunter dogdom only
to force him to lose at the last min
ute when victory would have meant
human tragedy in the McNeil house
hold.
Even a dog hater, if any one would
dare plead guilty to such classifica
tion, must come away from “The
Biscuit Eater” with the conviction
that Tiverton Invader, the bird dog
who plays Promise, is the greatest
embarrassment to human actors the
animal kingdom has developed in
years. It takes a great dog to give
such a realistic performance of a
no-account beast who will flush any
thing from snakes to skunks, and
remain out all night in almost de
generate disdain of kennel rules.
Tiverton Invader is just the great
kind of dog who can give that per
formance, and almost break your
heart at the end of the picture when
he expiates his crimes with death
in the arms of the kids who had to
betray him.

Awkward though It is to say it
in so many words, the dog gets ex
cellent support from the cast which
Director Stuart Heisler led in quest
of the drama k>f this simple story.
The support la more than excellent,
brilliant In fact* in the case of the
Lee and iHicknian children. Ob
viously they lived their parts as two
kids, one white, one colored, in love
with a ne’er-do-well dog. The
adults, realizing the futility of com
peting with the major trio, are,
effectively unpretentious in. char
acter, roles necessary to the narra
tive.
Treating the story as one deserv
ing of authentic background, Moss
and Heisler took their cast and crew
to Georgia to shoot their picture. It
is a gesture which heightens that
flavor of honesty which makes “The
Biseuit Eater” one of those rare
movies that will remain undated as
long as boys and dogs niaintain
their classic and dramatic friend
ship.

If Walter Brennan some day were
to walk over to the camera before
which he was working and push the
thing through the wall of the sound
stage, Hollywood cmild explain it
easily. "Overwork;” Hollywood
would say.
Before completing “Maryland, My
Maryland,” Brennan had worked
daily since Qecember, 1937. The
few weeks In that two years and
a half during which he was not
actually on a picture set were spent
in fittings and make-up tests.
After “Maryland, My Maryland,”
Brennan said “the blank with it,"
and started on a vacation.

If public demand is a criterion—
and if it is not, what is?—the most
auspicious movie career started in
1940 is that of Wendell Willkie, the
delight of the Republicans and the
delirium of the Democrats. Picture
most in demand ai the moment is
the “Information Please” release in
which Willkie distinguished himself
in that brain duel with the Messrs.
Fadiman, Kieran, Adams and Le
vant.
R-K-O is pretty sure it has a gold
mine in that one.
So is every one else.

Bob Would Tour Country With Films
To Get Funds for Red Cross;

By SHEILAH GRAHAM.
HOLLYWOOD.
Robert Montgomery Is finding it difficult to switch from the horrors
of European reality to the make-believe of Hollywood movies. Bob wants
two more months of leave for the continuation of his Red Cross activities.
When he came back from Prance, Bob brought with him some film, show
ing the devastation of cities in Flanders and Prance after the German
planes had dropped their cargoes of bombs. Bob's present idea is to take
tms mm on a tour oi America and’
also show films of how the cities
looked before the air raids. The

What price the House of Com

in one for “Parnell,” Metro spent
$110,000 for the set. For Edward G.

spent a mere $4,000. I hope this is
not an ill omen!

They certainly threw in every
thing, Including the kitchen stove,
for Shirley Temple’s “Young Peo
ple.” I was told that at the story
conference with Zanuck, he suddenly
interrupted the writer and said,
“Let's have a hurricane.” The
scripter pretended he hadn’t heard.
“Let’s have a hurricane,” said
Zanuck. a little louder this time.
P. S. There is a hurricane. I'm still
trying to figure out why! By the
way, the $300,000 Shirley received
when she left Twentieth Century
Fox, was not, as stated, a bonus. It
was money she had earned during
her six years at the studio. As with
most of the stars in Hollywood, a
certain percentage of their salaries
is held back—so that if they mis
behave, the studio can confiscate it.

As you know. Vivien Leigh and

why:
One day Vivien was feeling very

me. what do I think about in this
scene?”
Victor grinned, then said, “Oh,
just ham it, baby; just ham it!"

Banner Year Seen
By Theater Guild
The Theater Guild and the Amer
ican Theater Society would have It
known that the number of resub
scriptlons and new subscriptions Is
double that of former years—so In
creased, In fact, that both the tub
merged local office of Bess Davis
Schreiner at the National and the
Theater Guild office in New York
are at least four weeks behind sub
scription requests.
The Theater Society adVlses that
seat location assignments are being
made as rapidly as possible and sub
scribers will receive notification from
New York by August 1 it Is hoped.
Subscribers waiting to change seat
locations for the coming season will
be allowed to see the seating charts
after August 1 at the National.
Three productions already have
been announced for joint presenta
tion here by the Guild and the A.
T. S. They are “Twelfth Night,"
with Helen Hayes; “The Fifth Col
umn,” with Franchot Tone, and
"The Time of Your Life,” winner of
both the Critics’ Circle and Pulitzer
prizes last season. Three other plays
will be announced later in the
summer.
Just for Fun
George Tobias probably is the
world’s strangest actor. He wrote a
play and didn’t try to get It pro
duced so he could play the leading
role.
“I just got an Idea about writing
a play so I wrote it,” he explained
on the "River's End” set at Warner
Bros.
He doesn’t know or care whether
any one will ever produce his play.
All he wanted was the fun of writ
ing it.
The play Is about a fortune won
In the Irish sweepstakes by a Jew
ish family. He calls it "God Bless
the Irish.”
