editorial manager of the bethlehem office of the allentown morning call and was instructor of journalism 22 at lehigh during the summer sem ester the gaudy cat concerns the romantic life of antony and cleo patra as seen through the eyes of mr norwood's black and white boston bull terrier buster ac cording to the story buster had been in a former life mark an tony and cleopatra appears in her reincarnated form as a large yel low alley cat although the cat is fictional buster is very real in deed buster's role mr norwood selected antony for buster's former self because as he says buster and the fa mous roman have a thing or two in common as i've pointed out in the story some time ago i wrote buster's autobiography he's elev en years old and a lot has hap pened to him in that time my agent however said the narrative had too much dog in it so figuring a story with more nearly equal proportions of dog and human be ing might go better i added an tony's soul to buster's physical presence of course as soon as i had picked antony then i had to have cleopatra people generally think of them together whether or not buster approves of mr norwood's story is prob lematical for while the terrier looks sagacious about the whole thing he has no vocal comment to make at least not for the press class of 1932 the author was born in provi dence r i and attended high school in washington
