Miss LADY. A Doc.
BUT KNOWS MUCH
Educated Collie Even Gets
Acquainted With Evening
Journal Workers
HAS BEEN ON THE
STAGE FOR YEARS

Lady, the educated collie dog who
is one Of the star attractions at the
Garrick Theatre this week. visited
THE EVENING JOURNAL Office this
morning and gave an exhibition Of
her marvellous training and intelli-
gence before the EVENING JOURNAL
business and editorial stafis. Lady was
accompanied by her owner. II. S.
Gatcheli. and the manner in which
she obeyed the many commands OF
her owner places her in class by
herself for Intelligence and under
standing.
She is not a trick dog, instead she
is wonderfully educated and intelli-
gent animal, who understands words.
and can distinguish colOrs and fg
ures with the same degree of intelli-
gence as human being. This morn
ing she gave a splendid demonstra-
ton of her understanding powers.
When her owner told her To pick up
a piece of paper the second from a
certain window and place II in the
wastebasket over IN the corner of the
editorial room. Lady did so without
hesitating She also extinguished a
lighted match. picked out a person
with her hair also a one dollar bill
on which appeared a certain number.
picked up a match from the floor and
placed II in a cuspidor, spoke TO GER
tain ones whom her owner spoke OF
by name. and in many other WAYS
showed that she is possessed OF ex-
traOrdinary intelligence for a dog.
She also obeyed whispered orders
with the same understanding.
In speaking OF training her Mr..
Gatchell said this morning that he had
az first no thought of training her for
the stage but simply by playing and
talking with her he found that she
possessed exceptional Intelligence
and by applying the same rule a par
ent would to the education Of a child
he succeeded in educating Lady to
the marked degree shown. The differ
ence in the manner of giving various
orders, the lack Of signs or signals
of any sort and the conversational
tone with which the orders are given,
prove cOnclusively that it is not trick
cry but extraordinary intelligence that
makes Lady's acting so wonderful.
Lady has been the property of Mr.
Gatcholl for six years. She Is lust
years old. She is a utility collie and ha,
appeared In motion pictures, having
taken a leading part in the "Erploit'
Of Elaine" She has been on the STAG,
