From the black panther in Jacques Tourneur's CAT PEOPLE to the lions and chimps in the Tarzan series, wild animals have been trained to work with humans in the movies by dedicated trainers who both love and respect their "students".
When the talkies arrived, it became problematic to include animals because they were used to receiving voice commands for their stunts. The two stories below from the March, 1930 issue of TALKING SCREEN and the 1932 edition of FILM LOVERS ANNUAL explain the work behind the scenes.
