satisfactory and such crop news as was
not favorable was not enough the other
way to buoy up the bull position. The pit

clinging at put figures, a condition. which

vENTRIL0aUISM A FAKE.
There Is Really No Such Thing rs
Throwing the Voice"


New Orleans Times-Democrat.
''Ventriloquism as vaudeville special.
ty is about played out" said a veteran
Snowman. 1T was always a great fake
Or course we know nowadays that there
is no such thing as throwing the voice
and that 1t is simply an Illusion in which
the eye plays bigger part than the ear
For instance, a man is seated on the
stage with a mechanical dummy on his
knee, and you hear voice. The mans
face is stiff and the jaws of the dummy
are wagging-naturally you jump at the
conclusion that the Toice comes from the
doll. If you were right beside there
you'd know better, but you're too fac
away to exactly locate the sound That'S
the principle Of the whole thing, but iR
the old days the Yoice-throwing theory
was generally accepted.
4 remember In the season Of $3.50 I
was manager for a clever prestidlgitator
who was also ventriloquist. He claimed
to be able to throw his voice forty-two
feet, and land 1t in a space ten inches
in diameter as you might speak Of pitch
ing baseball or quot. It was a most
absurd contention, but he stuck to it
even to me In private, and we had a stock
story we used to work off on the country
papers about his appearing at q coroners
inquest and making the corpse accuse
a suspected person of murder AT that
instant, tho climax rdn, a hollow voice
issued from the dead mans throat 1t
was very thrilling yarn, and in the
course of time, my boss got to believe It
himself, and would narrate the details
with every evidence of good faith Dur.
ing performance he used TO order ev-
erybody off the stage, but occasionally I
would sneak around behind and listen
through a peephole, and it was wonder
full how the illusion was lost Frequently,
on the road, he would be embarrassed by
requests to throw his voice into this
thing or that to further some practical
joke, and would always reply that his
larynx was trifle infiaraed Still 4e
was capital ventriloquist-one CT the
very best, believe, that wss ever IL the
business"
