done? MY father did some worksin the

Answer
The Genealogical society does not
have any index OF work done in the
temples Inquiries must he addressed
to the presidents of each temple FOR
such information. 1t Is absolutely es-
sential that all record work be done

"rrlE DOG OF MoNrARGls.,

Animal actors are by no means new
to the stage. There are on record in
stances where a four legged performer
has made the geatest success in Il play,
drawing hundreds of people night
after night by the magnetism Of his
inarticulate art. In 1914, The Dog of
Montargis" was produced at Covent
Garden theater, London. 1t was writ
ten around a true incident i'll which a
man was murdered in the forest Of
Bondy and the murderer tracked by
means Of his dog. One day this dog
suddenly sprang at the throat of a
man an almost killed him, whereupon
the wretch, terror struck, confessed
that he was the murderer. This dra-
matte incident formed the basis of the
play, and everything depended upon
the cleverness of the dog. He was
called Dragon. and his acting was SO
marvellous that the play achieved re-
markable success. running for thirty
nine performances.
