SUPERSTITIONS: A Pet on a Set is Bad Luck!

Never bring a pet on a theatrical or film set or the production will be doomed!

Note from Wikipedia:

John Drew's final Broadway play was The Circle co-starring fellow veteran star Leslie Carter and proved to be a popular comeback for the two Victorian actors. The Circle was made into a silent film in 1925 by MGM directed by Frank Borzage.
