BROADWAY BUSTER BROWN: Buster Brown was a hugely popular comic strip characters during most of the 20th century. This pair of studio photographs for the 1905 Broadway play based on the strip were taken by the White Studio, Broadway’s foremost photographer of stage productions during that period. Playing Buster was the actor known as Master Gabriel, a 23-year-old adult dwarf who was able to convincingly play a child. In one photo he sits atop his dog Tige (an actor wearing a dog costume), and the other has Tige looking curiously at a pile of clothing and a shoe, as if the mischievous Buster had ditched the fancy suit and run off.
