The Theaters

| Animal actors provide the novelty
act at the Los Angeles theater this
week, Carlisle's Dogtown Pantomime
and Tom, a trained pony of surpris-
ing intelligence, sharing the honors.
The dogs play "Schooldays" on musical
bells and accomplish their trick with
such precision of tempo as to suggest

apparatus manipulated by human
hand. The bell ringing comes as the
finale to a comedy in which dogs are
the only characters and which proved
highly popular with the audience.
Tom, the pony, performed simple
sums inaddition, subtraction and multi
plication without making single err
ror, striking his hoof against the stage

tract nine from six he shook his head
in negation and then, by way of en-
phasis lifted up his voice and said

by word or sign; and the animals

Frau Sandwinas, the strong woman
at the Orpheum this week, gives Amer
lean women this advice about diet and
general rules of health
Women should learn to eat less and
to eat food that is more value to the
body. Meat is a thing they should eat
seldom. Fruit, vegetables and beer are
my principal foods. 1 beat an egg and
little sugar into a glass of beer every
night just before I go to sleep, and
take a glass of beer the first thing in
the morning. l never drink so much

Eat at the same time every day, go to
