I could see that Charlie was raring
to get to an act featuring human
voices.
Since We had secured the distant
effect OF the vowels and consonants
and had acquired the ability to change
from the ventriloquial voice to the
natural, he felt we had gone far
enough to be able to work up an act.
However. explained to the eager
little fellow that we had to put some
time on echo practice before we
could get very far.
"Oh, come, Bergen" Charlie put in,
you know you're running into q stone
wall. You know an echo is q sound
that bounces back at you"
I pointed out that what We would
strive to do would be by quick change
from natural to ventriloquial voice
and. while keeping the same tone
quality, give the illusion Of . voice
in the distance repeating our own
in sound. Then to illustrate tried
the word "Hello'-"Hello" my dis
tant" voice answered without the ap-
parent lapse Of 4 second.
Hello" Charlie mimicked, and his
own voice came back, Hello"
Greetings and salutations," he
answered laughingly.

Maria"
maria is the farmyard hen
Who in the barn does play,
She builds her nest amid the straw
And gives an egg each day.
"She struts and struts around the yard
To hunt for ants and flies,
She sits upon the barnyard gate
And blinks her yellow eyes,
"She answers me whene'er I speak,
And flaps her big, brown wings,
Shes very happy all the time
And sings and sings and sings.
Il feed her corn most every day
If Auntie says 1 might,
! put Maria in the barn
And lock it every night.
"She goes to bed most willingly
And hops upon her perch,
And when she sleeps, she is as still
AS if she were in church.
"Our doggie likes Maria, too,
He guards her from all harm,
Maria is the incest pet
That lives upon our farm"

CHARLIE, rubbing his eyes into

said:
Come. Bergen: off with the old,

The little fellow knew the hour had
come for us to go into natural" or
distant" ventriloquism. Not too hard
but not an easy accomplishment,
natural ventriloquism is the knack
OF throwing the voice to q distant
location-to make 1t appear that the
voice answering the actor Is coming
from above the ceiling, below the floor,
from the adjoining room, from the
interior of trunk, etc. --
The ventriloquist's knowledge OF
acoustics and his ability in acting play
large part in putting over natural"
ventriloquy. For example, if the artist
Is converSing with an imaginary viii
lain in the next room he shows the
exact spot whence the sound comes by
an expressive motion in the direction
OF the room, and by correct facial in
terpretation portrays the proper emo
ton.

THOMAS, born in Virginia

Called "Old Tom" as q cadet at

Thomas rendered distinguished
service during the Mexican War
and campaigned on the Western
frontier against hostile Indians.
Though Southerner, he espoused
the cause of the Union, and his
Civil War record, in addition to his
stand at Chickamauga, included
the capture Of Missionary Ridge
