Pretty Teamster By Elizabeth L. Sullivan 1 Viewers always see the TV stars on their screens, but seldom do they see the "stars" behind the scenes. Here is Dorothy Crider, professional animal trainer, showing John Hubbard how to handle a dog named Prince. She gives the signal (left) to Prince to sit up and (right), he gets the message. Miss Crider trains all the animals for the "Don't Call Me Charlie!" series on NBC and Ch 4 Fridays at 9:30 p.m.

Hubbard plays Col. Charles Barker on the show. The prettiest teamster you ever saw walked into the Globe TV Department the other day. accompanied by a handsome performer by the name of "Prince." Dorothy Crider. a slim blonde, as tiny as they come, is an animal trainer for NBC's comedy series, "Don't Call Me Charlie!" The TV show is about an Army veterinarian, Judson McKay (played by Josh Peine) and it's Miss Crider's job to get dogs, cats, goats, turtles, ravens, sheep, burros and pigeons to jump, talk or perform on cue.

Miss Crider belongs to four unions and had to join a fifth (Jimmy Hoffa's teamsters) because of her work with animals and because she transports them back and forth to the TV film studios. Miss Crider's escort, "Prince," followed her into the TV Department, sniffed the atmosphere, assumed an air of boredom and curled up and took a snooze beside her chair. Not even the aroma of sizzling steaks in the Globe cafeteria tempted "Prince" to do a canine marathon to their source. "There are certain things a dog won't do and "Prince" is in one of those moods today," chuckled the pretty animal trainer as she tried to get him to pose for a picture with Nipper, a plaster model of the famous Victor dog in the TV Department. "Prince is a mixed breed from the Los Angeles pound.

He's an intelligent dog and there's no double doing his tricks. He did a remarkable stunt for another TV series. He made seven free-fall parachute jumps while a cameraman followed his descent, also in parachute," continued Miss Crider. "We have quite a menagerie for the TV series, such as raccoons, squirrels, fauns, horses, a raven that talks, chimps, kangaroos, snakes and dogs of all kinds. These animals are right in my own home." And, sure enough.

Miss Crider pulled out her wallet and among the pictures was a baby faun perched right in the middle of her bed. The raven has the run of the house and he carries on a lively conversation, according to Miss Crider. "I never know what the TV writers are going to dream up," continued Miss Crider, "but I have fun getting ready for them. the day they wanted to get a peacock to wink on cue. I did manage it.

"Prince" is not in every episode of 'Don't Call Me A dog named Charlie' is the principal pooch. Charlie is a Newfoundland dog, although his real name is Hilda." How does she get animals to "Easy," was the retort. "1 get them to move their mouths and the woofs and meows are dubbed in later." Is her life ever in jeopardy? "No, I have a great love for animals and early in life set out to be a professional trainer. I've had few accidents, such as the seagull bite I received not so long ago. I walked around with a beautiful black eye.

And I was hospitalized for 48 days years ago when a cranky raccoon nipped me." Miss Crider is one of the few professional animal trainers in Hollywood. She was born in Anderson, in a boys' military school where her father happened to be dean of agriculture. She tried acting with a touring stock company when she was 14, but this did not interfere with her education. She received a bachelor of fine arts degree from the University of Arizona where she was also a championship archer. Moving to Los Angeles, she enrolled at the University of Southern California where she earned a master's degree in cinematography.

While at C. she won a movie contract and played the leads in films as well as on stage. Among her credits are "Tom, Dick and Harry," "The Greatest Show on Earth" and "Ten Commandments." She is a writer, too. Viewers may recall her script, "1 Married a Dog," which was shown on Westinghouse Playhouse and the Tony Curtis film, "Monsieur Cognac," is also from her typewriter. A widow, she lives in Sherman Oaks.

surrounded by devoted friends that wag their tails in glee; chirp greetings, gurgle in appreciation and go through a variety of paces associated with happy wildlife.
