Blind Enjoy Picture.
Carole Ulrich and her husband
of 100 Emerson street NV, both
blind, saw eyes in the Night at
the Capitol Theater, took their see
ing-eye dog Dutchie to enjoy the
fun.
Dutchie enjoyed the show, accord
ing to Carole's review for this de-
partment, since he is particularly
fond of music, licked her hand
gratefully for Art Browns organ
alogue. Somebody stepped on
Dutchie's tail, but he didn't bite,
and my correspondent explains:
Seeing eye dog, properly trained,
Is never vicious. In fact, if there
is any complaint of being bitten by
one Of the dogs trained at the
Seeing Eye Institute, the offending
dog must be sent back there and
shot"
Dorothy Jackson was their hostess
for the evening, but the Ulrichs
found that they could enjoy the
picture and understand it by lis
tening to the dialogue. Later they
went to an adjoining shop for
doughnuts and coffee, with Dutchie
permitted to come along. "Why
she can go anywhere" the attendant
told her. 1t was a gala evening,
with Dutchie too busy to call on
Friday, seeing-eye dog Of the pic
