Little did Bud Fisher think when
ho conceived the idea of the "Mutt

would prove to be the most remarkable
nuccoaa a newspaper artist ever
1 achieved, not -that bis effort would
1 be the nucleus of a play that will
live forever as the greatest laugh
producer for young and old the
P- stage has ever known. Of course, it
was Fisher's good fortune to have
had the New York American, which
has probably the largest circulation
of any newspaper In the world,
adopt his daily comedy picture, to
t* which fact Is due n great part of the
ty success.. The fact that Mr. Gus Hill
