College Hounds

Cousins Jules White and Zion Meyers went to work for MGM producing sound shorts. Their idea was to burlesque popular film genres, using dogs stuffed into costumes and wired into uncomfortable positions.

Apparently the brass so loved these movies that they wound up giving these two control of fading star Buster Keaton's movies, which put an end to his stardom.

Like all of Jules White's comedy, this one is based on making dumb animals uncomfortable or injured. The Three Stooges and other human actors who worked for Mr. White when he wound up as head of Columbia's comedy shorts division could at least consent to their own torture-for-hire. The small dogs, stuffed into uncomfortable costumes and wired into unnatural positions in this and other Dogville comedies could not.
