POUSB ft UM • Phone 16 West McHenry, DL ( Descended from a line of parents whose pedigree is as long as a congressional record, mentioned in orders for conspicuous work as a Belgian j of Pharmacy, University of Illinois, Tha graduating exercises, which included the graduates of the College of Medicine, College of Dentistry and School of Pharmacy, were held at the Studebaker theatre, Chicago, at 10:! o'clock last Saturday morning. police dog, decorated for active war service with the Red Cross and petted by crowned heads and ministers of state, Strongheart, the Belgian police dog, makes his debut upon the American screen. The sponsors for the new aspirant to starring honors are Laurence Trimble and Jane Murfin, respectively director and scenarist in the motion picture field. Some time ago they decided to take advantage of the screen opportunities offered by Hal G. Evarts' "The Cross Pull," which appeared originally in the Saturday Evening Post. The story, as many doubtless recall, deals with the dual strain of wolf and dog in an animal in the West and the fight to make the civilised elements victorious. The director and scenarist were successful in obtaining the rights to the story and then found themselves in the peculiar predicament, where they had a wonderful story to produce, but no one to take the leading role. There followed a long, tedious search, during which Mr. Trimble and Miss Murfin both attended dog shows, investigated the leading kennels and finally journeyed to Europe in search of the trained animal who could play the part. Their patience met with reward, for in Belgium they found Strongheart, the gigantic police dog, so thoroly trained and so intelligent aa to know instinctively what was expected of him. Strongheart, it is emphasized, is not a trick dog. His unusual performance is the result of wonderful canine intelligence, plus the stiff discipline he has been subjected to as a police dog and in military service. In the Belgian police records there are numerous citations of burglars who have been caught not only by the seat of the trousers, but also by the speed and unbreakable grip of Strongheart. The dog also is entitled to six service stripes with the Red Cross, having been on the field almost continuously for three years, with the exception of a few Nweeks when he was slightly injured by shrapnel after the second battle of Ypres. During his police service he was constantly under discipline. It was a breach of regulations for the dog to lie down while on duty. This and minor infractions were punished and the animal soon came to distinguish between the things he could do and those that were forbidden 4tim. The training has been of vast assistance in Strongheart's screen career, as he has been able to adapt himself easily to orders at the studio and go thru his part with very few retakes and hardly Any direction or coaching. The first picture in which Strongheart will be presented to the American public is the story which led Mr. Trimble and Miss Murfin on their dog-gone search. It will be presented under the title of '"Hie Silent Call." From early reports at the studio, Strongheart gives every indication of being a normal star. He has a good appetite, enjoys his work and likes to play around with the boys when the director doesn't need him. He hasn't given out many interviews and, altho he may be a good police dog, shows no inclination to become a publicity hound. And Strongheart has an advantage over other stars. He cannot autograph photographs for screen ad mirers.
