You will see Dustin Furnum in the role of a woman tamer in his latest Wiliia n Fox production, “The Buster” which ccipes to the Princess Theatre to-night, it is a novel and fascinating part, and the robust movie idol acquits Ivin self in a fashion that will thrill tl.o most blase of picturegoers. “The Buster” tells the story of the rough, handsome Westerner, who is called upon to tame a beautiful, but temperamental society belle from New York. How ho tackles the most difficult of tasks and how he succeeds, goes to the making of an interesting picture. The direction of the photoplay was in the hands of Colin Campbell, and tin adaptation of the story by Willin'’! Patterson White was made by Jack St ruimvasser. The photoplay reproduces many picturesque nature “sets” that were ’’sliot” in the American Rockies. The dii notion has artistically brought to the fore the infectious smile, the splendid physique, and the manly robustness of Farnuni and wrought them all into the Western tain. Romance and action arjj the keynotes of the theme. In the support of the Fox star are Doris Pawn, Francis McDonald, Gilbert Holmes and Lucille Jlutton.
