OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
w A DOG TURNED SINGER AND MADE MONEY

no you want to know why
- your dog bowls when he
~ hears music. Well, that 1
don't know. Some people think
the, reason dogs howl is because
the music hurts their ears. Others
think they howl because they en-
joy it and want to join in them
selves.
That reminds me Of dog who
made an awful racket when he
hard a tune, but he certainly
didn't act as If he disliked it. He
appeared to be having q fine
time.
A long while ago I used to pass
at the same time every evening
corner Of street in a big city.
And there on the corner was a
poor violinist who used to stand
there and fiddle away on his vio-
lin for dear life. Then when he
had finished a tune he would col
lect money from the passersby.
With this musician was always
a dog-a big shaggy shepherd
dog. The dog looked better fed
than his master. / often used to
think how foolish 1t was for a
poor man to keep a dog to feed.
AS it turned out later, this dog
made a great deal Of money for
his master.
How did he do it? Just you
wait a minute.
Sometimes when 1 passed the
corner and heard the man play
ing on his violin, the dog would
be bowling. There he would sit
ears back, nose in the air, mouth
wide open and coming out of it
loud, long bowls.
1t used to make me laugh. And
often found others laughing
with me.
One evening as Bobby, Bunny
and / were on our way home,
said to Bunny: "
Bunny, If you have the chance,
ask that dog why he bowls some
| times and not at others"
Sure, Foxy Grandpa, I'll ask
him tonight"
When we came to the musician
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1923-04-27

: and his dog, Bunny popped his
head out of my pocket-you know,
I always carry him in my pocket
in crowded places-and had a
few moments confidential CONVEX
sation with the dog, while chat
ted with the violinist.
Then I said Good evening"
and home we went.
When we reached home / asked
Bunny what he had found out.
1.-THE dog says he likes some
tunes better than Others" Bunny
said, land he likes to sing when
his master plays his favorite
tunes"
THAT gives me an idea," I said.
I'm going to see if can't get
that man and his dog a job"
The next day went to see
friend of mine who furnished en-
tertainers for children's parties
and often had animal actors.
told him about this singing
dog and he said:
Bring him around. I'll look
him over"
In the meantime Bunny had
found out what tunes the dog pre-
ferred and had told me. So I told
the violinist what to play to make
the dog sing.
We went to the theater and
the man was waiting to hear the
performance.
The musician took out his violin
and started to play.
Up went the dogs head and he
sang as If he knew what was ex-
pected of him. How he did howl
sometimes softly and sometimes
loudly-just as If he really were
trying to sing.
When he finished the man who
owned the theater said:
Fine! I'll engage you at once"
The dog wagged his tail and
the man almost cried with graft
tude.
Now they are regular perform
ers for little boys and girls just
like you and make them laugh
until they cry. They are making
money and have nice little
home. -

thought in her heart: I'D like to
do it, not because I want to go on
the stage, but just to show him
that more than one girl has got

Hedden looked at her with that
sudden boyish smile which made
you forget his unnaturally black
hair in favor Of his white teeth.

older she was, the better she en-

But he had noticed that the be-
ginners often chung to the mental
side of play-acting, and so now,
in speaking of the stage, he spoke
with reverence, laying more
stress upon character than upon
beauty or even success. They
asked him about Mrs. Michelin,
so suddenly become famous under
his management, and he told
them her story, as it pleased him
to improvise upon it for the
occasion.
''Of course" he said, II was in
a position to teach her great
deal. And although she had all
sorts of wonderful emotional pos
sibilities it was, hard for her to
bring them out. I don't mean
that she was stupid-far, far from
it, only that she had greater
physical and especially vocal diff
f.culties than seemed just or
right A man might be the
cleverest man in the world, and
yet require years of hard work
to be cured of suffering. She
had lovely natural voice, but at
first, and for weary months and
even years, she could not seem
to make it carry beyond the foot
lights. Now your voice,
Miss Silver, has what we call
the carrying quality; without
ra sing it, or straining it, without
training. just using 1t naturally
as you speak to me across the
table, your voice would carry
clearly and easily to the gallery

what I mean?"
And he turned to Rose and the
captain. They nodded. well, by
dint of incessant practice, she got
that quality. How? I should
have to recall too many hours of
bitter encouragement. Do you,
Miss Silver, remember when you

The Clevelands Thursday had 20
