Dogville Comedies

From 1929 to 1931, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer produced a series of nine short comedy films called All Barkie Dogville Comedies, sometimes known as the "barkies" (in a parody of "talkies"). The actors in these films were trained dogs dressed to parody the performers in contemporary films. The dogs' dialogue was dubbed by actors and voice artists, including Pete Smith.

The films were directed by Zion Myers and conceived and codirected by Jules White. Myers and White later worked on the Three Stooges comedies.
