COSY. Three men who had a hand in the filming of “The Man Tamer,” Gladys Walfon’s sensational Universal photodrama, which is now at the Cosy Theatre, expect death at any moment and will accept its coming witli the calm fatalism of the craft. They are Rex Roselli, C. B. Murphy, and A. C. Stocker, all veteran animal trainers, and imbued with the strange psychology which is the heritage of those who enter the caged arena to match their wits against the swift ferocity and the waiting cunning of the snarling beasts. Roselli appears as Miss Walton’s father in the production. He is regarded as the clean of American animal trainers and was for years the chief of arena for many big circuses. C. B. Murphy is an animal trainer ol wide experience, and plays the role wide experience, and plays the role of Miss Walton’s assistant in the story. A. O. Stecker is the chief of the Universal City zoo, and assisted Harry B. Harris, the director, in filming the animal scenes. Stecker is Rosselli’s stepson. Each of these men knows that he will die in the arena. Each comes from a long line of animal trainers and they all know that, sooner or later, they will go down under the ripping claws of some jungle 'beast, upon whom they have, in a careless moment, turned their backs.
