A producer of one of the Lassie
pictures At !MGM` 'swears to 'the
truth' of this story. Lassie 'had
evidently. been, 'off her feed for
titree•or fain- slays and her trainer
decided that what she needed was
a dose of castor oil. Unfortunately,
no (wat'' 'could be fotind'.'lo make'.
Lassie take • it, The trainer and
th jce..'assistants, spent' a' full hour
.devising ,tricks to. lure Lassie into
_,swallowing the medicine, but she
utas too i smart to fall for them,
and rt wag finally ddeid'ed I that
some other remedy would have to
be sought, Just then the bottle of
castor oil slipped out of the grsp
of the man who was holding it
and crashed on the floor. The
trainer was just about to upbraid
him for his clumsiness when Lassie
calmly -strolled over. the spot and
licked up The entire contents of
the bottle.
Incidentally, another rumor
about Lassie has been in circula-
tion lately. They say the president
of the studio came to watch a
scene being filmed one day and
that Lassie was suspended for
two weeks for barking in his face.
