"Pal," often referred to as the 'wonder dog' of the movies, is enjoying the 'Pal-my' days of stardom these days.
And like most successful players in "the cinema," he must look at some neat automobile with an appreciative and speculative eye.
"Pal" seldom disagrees with his owner, Harry Lucenay, and in his "dog-gone" and decidedly "doggy" way, he agrees that Lucenay has made a wise selection in choosing a Chrysler "70" for getting around.
But there is one point on which "Pal" and Harry disagree. While Harry acquired a "70" brougham, "Pal" busied himself barking his approval of a light green "70" roadster.
"Pal" looked over all the Chrysler models in the Greer-Robbins Hollywood agency, 6119 Hollywood Boulevard, with the help of Ray Gould, manager, and while he barked approval for all, he always wandered back to the "70" roadster.
Because he has worked in more pictures than any other dog, "Pal" may be well called an "old timer" of the klieg lights.
He has just completed a comedy for Fox at the Fox Hills studio and is likely to go right back to work, either in a Fox comedy or for another concern which is bickering for his services.
Where he works matters little to "Pal," so long as he has Harry Lucenay to order him around.
"Pal" is a "good soldier" because he enjoys taking orders. He would rather do as told than play.
The Chrysler sales force and passersby got considerable enjoyment out of "Pal's" almost human sense of understanding.
He seemed to understand everything Lucenay said to him. Ordering "Pal" on the running board of a Chrylser brougham, Lucenay told the dog to take his foot from the fender for fear of scratching it. "Pal" immediately followed orders. Then telling the dog to stay on the running board, Lucenay drew two circles on the floor.
Told to hop into the first circle and sit down, "Pal" immediately complied. And then he went on to the second circle when told and back into the first - without Lucenay pointing to either.
"Pal" was put through his paces rapidly thereafter. Ordered up stairways at different gaits, told to stop and place his paws on the railing and bark a "hello," instructed to untie shoestrings, he followed orders to the letter.
He is "Pal," the dog who can do anything but talk.
