exhibited by the Gollmar Brothers and
performed by their trainer, present
without doubt the most unique display
of animal training ever attempted. A
casual glance at number of these Gu
riously formed creatures as they lie
basklDg IN the sunshine on some rocky
wave washed cliff, which lifts its apex
above the surrounding ocean, or per-
haps as in the distant Arctics, as they
lie in wait for food on the frigid shore
line of huge floating mountains of ice,
would lead the onlOoker to think them
the least tractable of animals.
Nature has apparently not provided
them with symmetrical limbs, with
which to move upon land, nor has she
endowed them with the advantages pos
sessed by many sea-living creatures,
yet this seemingly almost helpless beast
Is one of the most capable of the lower
animals as is most surprisingly shown
by the marvelously exact difficult feats
of juggling, balancing and catching,
accomplished by the members of Cap
tain Kent's troupe, while their concep-
ton of comedy is plainly shown by the
many funny situations presented in
their human-like exhibitions, in which
they enact actual comedy plays. That
they enjoy music is beyond question.
Captain Kent has among his troupe
number of seals who actually approach
a melody IN their songs, while their
performance on musical instruments,
though not rivaling Maestro in a mu-
steal sense, still show them to be inter-
ested in producing sound. These sea
lion actors and musicians come as a
special feature with the Gollmar Broth
