Dog Is Man.-There is an unusual
story of an unusual dog. In the first
place. the dog isn't a dog at all and
this may sound foolish until explained.
The dog is unprecedented by human
being. Those who desire TO see this

proper person the actor who plays the
dog. is a respectable young man, but
on the stage he acts like a dog-the
highest compliment that can be paid
him. for he has made life study of
acting like dog. Though the gentle
man has followed the theatrical calling
for no less than IS years and has from
the start had leading comedy parts and
yet. in al this time he has never spok
en- single word to any audience. This
record is unequaled In Buster
