This time the Winner Bros. “ wonder dog.” is appearing in " Below the Line," which, according to nlf reports, affords the niosi thrillin'' entertainments of any picture the fourfooted star has laid since he startled the screen world with “'Where the -North Begins.” The new picture, which conies to the Princess Theatre to-night, is featured by a fight between II in-Tin-Ti n and a pack of bloodhounds;. a light said to he ferociously realistic that the producers him the forethought to obtain a testimonial from the l .Santa .Monica Humane Society to the effect that the fight was fii'nied without any injury to the dogs involved. Another thrilling feature promised is the fight between John ITarron, as Rin-Tin-Tin's owner, and Pat Ilartigan. ns a man-killing villain. Not since Richard Bnrthelmoss and Ernest Torrance battled in the cabin of “ Tol'alde T)uvid " has there been a more blood-pumping combat, according to the reviews in other cities.
