Three of the foremost animal train CTS in America were instrumental in making 'eThe Man Tamer," the Uni verSal circus feature starring Gladys Walton. The feature is coming to the Empire theatre today and shows the young star in a cageful of jungle beasts, putting them through a rou- tine of tricks that would do credit to disciple of Hagenback.
 Credit for the animal scenes must be given to A. c. Seeker, superin- tendent of the Universal City zoo, who supplied a dozen we1l-trained lions, and was on hand just outside the camera range to watch the beasts.
