Description
A cocker spaniel named Pudge recalls how he went from being an unhappy stray dog to being happily owned and cared for by a boy named Billy., “Pudge” was produced under the Palo Alto Children's Theatre production company, "Children's Productions.” The founder of the Children's Theatre, Hazel Glaister Robertson, noted that she set out to create educational and narrative films for children because the “motion picture industry cannot, because of box office, make films for child audiences without adding adult overtones” (The San Francisco News; Aug. 7, 1945). Film shipping boxes found in our archives suggest that these films were rented and shipped nationally., Archival research has found that some scenes were shot at 1520 Byron Street in Palo Alto, the former home of Hazel Glaister Robertson.
