Description: Topical Budget's camera is on hand to capture this odd spectacle, which features actress Gladys Cooper brandishing a megaphone in one hand and a puppy in the other. Cooper, who was born in London and would later receive three Academy Award nominations, is opening an auction of dogs held at the Crystal Palace raising funds for the Middlesex Hospital in the West End (since closed). Witty captions and several dogs are featured, with a pair of Dalmatians looking particularly lovable.
