Description
English: This page has two original cartoons by Tad Dorgan.

The cartoon on the left comments on the then-current trend for athletes to take up theatrical careers, and for actors to "hit the hot stones of Broadway". The two men arm in arm ("Jeff" and "Artha" are James J. Jeffries and John Arthur Johnson; note that Jeff is singing "Happy Hottentots] by Theodore F. Morse. "Donlin" (possibly Mike Donlin) is singing "Big Strong Man". The actor in the bottom row is reciting from the "Supposed Speech of Regulus", by Elijah Kellogg, a piece which was reprinted in many late-19th-to-early-20th-century schoolbooks for children to use in practicing their elocution and public speaking.

The cartoon on the right explores the life of an anthropomorphic dog who has lost all his money playing poker, but cannot resist the urge to keep gambling.
