Text from article at Washington Times, December 28, 1919:

"Lewis J. Selznick's "Bucking the Tiger" is to be seen at the Shubert Garrick tonight.

Built upon the novel theme of the action alternating between laughs and thrills, this latest comedy-drama to bid for popular favor, is said to be so unique in its development and twist of plot, that nothing just like it has been seen in the theaters.

It makes the entrance of Lewis J. Selznick, President of the Selznick Motion Pictures Enterprises, into the ranks of producing managers of stage plays.

May Tully wrote the stage version from a novel by Achmed Abdullah. The cast includes Benjamin Kauser, recently of Thunder; William Meehan, whose delightful portrayal of the comedy crook in Turn to the Right! will not be forgotten soon; Forrest Winant, whose "boy" in Turn to the Right! and The Country Boy secured a personal triumph for him; William Fitzsimmons, an actor of note on the English stage who has been seen in The Time, the Place and the Girl and The College Widow; Fania Marinoff, talented actress, late of the Greenwich Village Theater; Regina Wallace, identified with several New York successes; Walter Kingsford, formerly with Madame Sand, Major Pendennis and Everywoman, Cyril Chadwick, Ben Hendricks, Armand Robie, Ryfer Kane, and James Boshelle."
